Good morning everyone,
for our new build, we are currently exploring options for painting the interior walls and ceilings.
We have agreed on and received a plaster finish of level 2 (Q2) on the interior walls (gypsum). To me, the plaster already looks very smooth—typical of a well-executed Q2 finish.
What options are available—apart from textured wallpaper like "Raufaser"—for this Q2 surface, without extensive and especially costly sanding and filling work? There must be a middle ground between textured wallpaper and smooth fleece wallpaper that is affordable yet still looks good?
Thanks for your answers & best regards
Enno

And does seeing that really help you?Absolutely! If I have to pay almost 10,000 for retrofitting the foundation slab and other structural elements due to the soil report, then I definitely want to be able to see within the warranty period whether my house is moving internally.

And even if later on some spot catches your eye so much that you feel building-related anxiety just walking past, you can still improve a wall afterward without having to move into a hotel for weeks. The easily five-figure sum you save by skipping sanding, filling, and wallpapering the entire place can be spent on much nicer things that have a far greater impact on living comfort (for example, a hot tub ).Dr Hix schrieb:
but which nobody cares about later anyway. There are furniture pieces in front of the wall, pictures, photos, posters, paintings, postcards, curtains, blinds (...tapestries) hang on the wall, and overall, a furnished home offers so many more visual highlights than the texture of the wall surface.Exactly!
