Hello,

we will have lime-gypsum plaster with quality level Q3 in our house. Wallpaper is not desired.
We are currently getting quotes for painting work. I have two questions:

-I would like to use mold-resistant paint, possibly lime-based. The two painters I asked said that in all new buildings they have only used standard dispersion paint and have had no problems with mold. Only in damp rooms like the bathroom could they add fungicides if desired. Are my concerns about mold justified, or am I overreacting a bit? What are your experiences?

-One painter offers fleece on the ceiling, the second one also on the walls. What do you think about using fleece or not?

Thanks in advance

If you need fungicidal paint in a new build, something is wrong...

I would use fleece on the ceiling, not on the walls.

I agree. I would only apply fungicides indoors in an absolute emergency.
I currently have fleece on walls and ceilings and have never had surfaces that looked better. So, I would definitely do it again.

Hello lastdrop, why no fleece on the wall?

Q3 should already be very smooth.

We definitely don’t have any fleece on the walls and actually find the slight texture here and there quite nice. I believe you should still be able to see the craftsmanship.

One more question: If I don’t use fleece or wallpaper on the walls, and only apply paint, will there be no visible ugly cracks in the plaster? How was it with the lastdrop?
