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

We have Q3 level finishing, although that is always quite subjective... our walls are very smooth, plastered with gypsum, and even with raking light you can’t see any unevenness. We had them painted directly with silicate paint, I wouldn’t consider using emulsion paint on the walls.
We only used fleece on the ceilings because otherwise you can find a few small cracks here and there. Did you not get any hairline cracks on the walls?
