Hello!
We have a good general contractor offer that satisfies us in many ways.
One point that does not convince us is that textured wallpaper is used as a base, followed by two coats of paint.
It apparently is a very solid solution...
...but it doesn’t convince me. I would prefer lime or clay plaster.
What are your experiences with a textured wallpaper base?
What alternatives are there with a purely mineral (non-synthetic) plaster?
I look forward to your ideas and experiences 🙂

What kind of experience do you mean? Or what exactly doesn’t convince you? There are no quality issues with it; it’s completely livable, and I’m not aware of any disadvantages. Whether you can accept it aesthetically is something only you can decide.
Are children involved? They tend to pick at the bumps on textured wallpaper, but on the other hand, they also often leave stains on the walls that might not be paintable over in the worst case. Some kind of wallpaper that can be removed along with the stains isn’t the worst option in that situation.

Many thanks for your feedback, Kekse 🙂
Hmm... I think what doesn’t convince me is initially more of an emotional issue: We have been living in an older building for a year now. Almost all the walls there were covered with wallpaper, which I didn’t feel comfortable with. It seems to me that much more dust can accumulate on wallpapered walls than on plastered ones. So, it’s more about hygiene than aesthetics.
And also, the idea that all wall and ceiling surfaces would be covered with glue: I wonder how "healthy" that actually is?
No small children, but dogs, who so far haven’t managed to leave any stains on the walls (except in the entrance area when drying).
I really laughed when you mentioned that children come up with such scratching games 😀

[Paste]Paste[/Paste] are adhesives in the form of an aqueous swelling product made from starch or organic cellulose ethers. They usually consist of methylcellulose. They are made up of 2–20% renewable raw materials and 80–98% water. Paste sets physically by evaporation of the water; it cures at room temperature and is easy to work with.

If you want plastered walls with texture, dirt will also stick to them.

My tip for interiors: We apply a primer to the plastered wall, which is filled with quartz sand, water-based, and purely mineral. This type of primer is available from brands like Sto, Sakret, and others. We roll it on, and a second person uses a ceiling brush to create a pattern with large half-moon shapes in the fresh primer. Then we let it dry. After that, we paint over it once with a dispersion paint of choice, and it’s done. This is probably an unconventional use of primer, but the result looks very nice. Also, it’s easy to do. Karsten
