Hello everyone,
We are currently considering options for wall finishes.
The main question is whether it is possible to do without fiberglass mesh or scrim tape.
About three-quarters of the surface area consists of drywall (a drywall lining on a timber-framed house), and the rest are masonry walls made of sand-lime bricks.
Visually, I prefer smooth, simply skim-coated surfaces that are then painted.
Are there any homeowners who have implemented or plan to implement this approach?
The counterargument is the risk of settlement cracks.
In our apartment, although there is wallpaper on the joints, we already have cracks on the walls and ceiling (new build, 3 years old).
So I’m thinking: no matter how you do it, a few cracks will probably always appear.
Best regards,
Harv

It’s still fine for now, we don’t have a fireplace and have been living here for 5 years. We would definitely do it the same way again.What does that have to do with the fireplace? "Heat island"?
