Hello everyone,
For our planned new build, we would ideally like to have the ceilings on the ground floor finished with interior plaster. However, our builder advised against this because the individual ceiling panels might bend or move differently, which could lead to hairline cracks. He recommended wallpapering the ceilings with fiberglass mesh wallpaper and then painting them.
Does anyone have direct experience with interior plaster on ceilings in new constructions?
For the walls, he also recommended wallpapering. If we really want plaster, he suggested using red lime plaster.
Thank you and best regards,
Jochen

A small gap, tiny, but still a gap, absorbs the paint and results in a nice, even finish.
The type of paint used might also play a role. Ours doesn’t drip and spreads evenly.
