Hi everyone,
We plan to paint our stairwell with Knauf EasyPutz this weekend. Now we’re wondering about the best way to approach it.
We’ve already painted several rooms with it and are (by now 🙂) a bit more experienced.
Our staircase is an open quarter-turn two-stringer staircase (typical townhouse stairs). We can’t reach the wall behind the treads, so we’ll have to unscrew the treads.
We can’t do the entire height in one go, so we thought about the following:
- remove all treads up to the next floor
- paint from the floor up to just above the treads
- put the treads back on
- then move on to the next floor
And work our way from the basement up to the top floor
That way, any edges between the floors would be just above the stair treads, which should look less noticeable than having them in the middle of the wall.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Is it possible to spray or tint it before applying?No. It comes in multiple color combinations, available in fine and coarse grains, in a bag that covers about 3.3 m² (35.5 sq ft)…see pm

doesn’t really come across well…I like it. Is it easy to work with? Can you really just make one piece and keep adding on? Are there differences in quality? And do the recommended quantities match the specified coverage areas? For paint and textured roller finishes, the given amounts are never enough.motorradsilke schrieb:

Also, do the recommended quantities match the coverage areas? For paint and textured roller plaster, the indicated amounts are never enough. 4x. Yes.
We are really impressed. A painter friend recommended it to us back then,
