ᐅ Should you paint or wallpaper lime-cement plaster?

Hello,

I have lime-cement plaster throughout the entire house and want to start by painting everything white, possibly adding some accents after moving in.

The idea is simply to paint everything white first or maybe use wallpaper.

What have you done with your lime-cement plaster? Is it worth using silicate paint, or is the difference in indoor climate compared to an emulsion paint rather small? What should I pay attention to?

Does anyone perhaps have experience with wallpapers?

Many thanks to you all

Since the lime-cement plaster throughout my house turned out relatively smooth, I would like to first try removing only the small hollows and then paint it white.

However, I’m undecided between using a silicate paint or a dispersion paint. Could someone share their experiences with these?

Wallpapering is always an option later if it doesn’t work out or I don’t like it anymore.

Wallpapering yes, but sanding no.....

Once the walls have been primed, should you paint them promptly (the next day), or is it okay to wait a few days before painting?

You can wait. Even more than two or three days. The reason won’t disappear. Karsten

I need to jump in again.

Lime-cement plaster: When using a dispersion paint, should a primer be applied first before painting? Or should the first coat be the paint diluted with primer?

Is the primer unnecessary when using a silicate dispersion paint?
