Hello dear community,
So far, we have successfully built a solid wood house. Now, the painting work is to be done by ourselves.
Inside, the walls are covered with drywall panels and filled/sanded with Knauf Uniflott.
Our current plan is to prime/spray the walls using an airless device.
It is often recommended to wallpaper with painter’s fleece to prevent cracking.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!

Your house was finished on the inside with gypsum plaster and drywall panels that are ready for wallpaper application. However, without further treatment, they are not suitable for paint or wallpaper. For painting, walls and ceilings must be primed.
The use of textured plasters should be avoided for at least the first year after the house is completed. Applying a top coat plaster prevents the wall from drying out and inevitably leads to mold growth, usually near the baseboard.
Sorry, but I’m still not very familiar with this! We didn’t want to apply woodchip wallpaper; instead, we planned to treat all the walls with roller-applied plaster.

blockhauspower8 Feb 2015 11:32Alright, that makes sense. The standard plaster is applied, but it is not recommended to apply a textured plaster on top because it is made of plastic, which prevents the normal plaster from drying properly. The same applies to paint and non-woven wallpaper.
I would first examine the plaster to see if it is smooth enough; filling in any imperfections is no problem. Then, paint with a vapor-permeable paint, such as silicate paint.

eisbaer_oz8 Feb 2015 11:39Just to make sure I understand correctly, after priming, it should be enough to either just paint or, if needed, lightly sand and then paint, right? Many thanks in advance.
blockhauspower8 Feb 2015 11:46Let the plaster dry, if necessary measure the moisture, if needed apply additional filler if the surface is uneven, let it dry, apply a primer coat, then paint with silicate (expensive!) or silicone resin paint.
blockhauspower8 Feb 2015 11:58Sorry, I forgot to mention. Silicate paint does not work on gypsum plaster and should be applied by a professional.
Hi,
thank you very much for all the responses!
@blockhauspower: we built with herrmann-massivholzhaus. Not a log house, but solid wood walls made of glued laminated timber.
I tend to agree with what One00 wrote – we will paint directly onto drywall (of course with primer).
KEIM primer white, then KEIM BioSIL – according to the painter and the technical data sheet, this is fine.
If a crack should appear somewhere in one or two years, as mentioned, it is not worth the effort to cover the entire house with paint fleece...
Since the house currently has 'finished' walls, bare screed, and no door frames or installations, I think it’s easiest to tape off the windows and spray with the airless machine. The preparation work for covering is quite manageable.
Thank you!
