ᐅ Which type of interior plaster at what cost?

Created on: 17 Mar 2015 23:06

I have already read a lot about lime, lime-cement, and gypsum plaster – I think clay is too expensive for us.
Some say gypsum plaster can be used, others say it must be lime plaster. The heating engineer we consulted criticized gypsum plaster as inert material. Our general contractor wanted to use lime-cement plaster everywhere but has now offered gypsum. It's a bit confusing. Should we insist on lime plaster? Does it really allow better breathability and improve the indoor climate? I would appreciate your living experiences.

As far as I know, Q2 finish is included in our offer. What type of surface preparation do I need for painting?

As I mentioned before, we have gypsum plaster, also at Q2 level, which means ready for wallpaper.

We never wanted wallpaper and painted directly over the primer with emulsion paint.

The walls are smooth! The plaster is smooth!

Okay, here and there, mainly at corners and edges, you can see a slight trowel texture – but this appearance is intentional, as it gives a subtle loft-style look.

Best regards,

May I ask if you have spray plaster? For budget reasons, we need an affordable alternative. We were told that spray plaster is the most cost-effective option.

Perhaps you should start by presenting clear facts about what exactly your issue is. When I read your three posts across three threads, the questions vary: first about the most cost-effective method, then about DIY plastering, and then about the smoothness of a plaster finish. Everyone wonders: what is your main point? What type of building are you dealing with?

Hello ypg, we need to plaster the ground floor and the first floor ourselves. Unfortunately, we are running out of time and the budget is tight. About 80% of the walls are concrete, and 20% are drywall partitions. Since we are not professionals, we would like to know which method is the fastest and most cost-effective. If it matters: it is a new build and has a ventilation system.

Concrete walls? Are you sure?

Yes, of course. Liapor solid wall. The walls are already quite smooth by themselves, so you don’t need to do much additional smoothing. Just the corners and a few holes.
