Hello, I have been trying for months to find out if there is an alternative to gypsum plaster for interior walls.
We currently live in a newly built house (gypsum plaster) and it always feels very, very dry.
I’m someone who is quite sensitive and notices these things.
Now I am considering using lime-cement plaster (a finer version) or lime plaster, and I am looking for other homeowners who have had issues with these materials.
I hope to get information here from people who do not have gypsum plaster in their living spaces.
P.S. I recently visited a newly plastered house (cold cement plaster) and I was able to breathe much easier.
However, I am still hesitant to give the “go-ahead” to my plasterer.

In the end, we chose gypsum plaster and saved a lot of money. The mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery ensures that we always have great air quality and proper humidity.

Gypsum plaster is considered the more ecological and compatible building material... Gypsum plaster is actually the opposite of airtight and dry – where have you been getting your information for weeks? If a plasterer says they won’t use that stuff, it’s probably because they don’t know how; lime-cement plaster is much easier and cheaper. Gypsum has the property of regulating moisture, which, with a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (which should definitely be installed nowadays), is less critical but still offers advantages. If the house is too dry, that has nothing to do with the plaster. In the end, 90% just slap a ready-mixed dispersion paint from the hardware store onto the walls, so it no longer matters what’s underneath. So the choice of paint is just as important—what is planned there?That is factually incorrect.
Gypsum plaster is cheaper and the classic standard product. It goes on quickly and is easy to work with. Lime-cement plaster is more expensive and considerably more complex to apply.
Gypsum is not airtight; I know that it is demonstrably not more airtight than lime-cement.
It’s more about the perceived indoor climate. You have to be sensitive to that, of course. Many people don’t care.

Yes, the top coat plaster was chosen with a 1mm (0.04 inch) grain size... Smooth is just boring.

When you talk about gypsum plaster, do you mean lime gypsum? No one uses pure gypsum plaster anymore, right? Why would no one use that anymore?
It is still used in the standard application, nothing else.
