ᐅ Which type of plaster is recommended for a double garage?

Women have a keen sense for picking up the core message: "Honey, I’m worrying about something completely trivial, could you take it off my hands?" and taking offense at it.

In our relationship, I’m always the one worrying over completely trivial things. My husband couldn’t care less about 95% of those things. 😀

Otherwise, I’m also surprised that designing the garage is so frowned upon here. I know people who have windows and tiles in their garages and so on. They probably even celebrate birthdays in there.

Frowned upon – no. I’m not going to tattle to Santa if the original poster decides to add an interior plaster finish to the garage. I’m just saying that for a garage interior plaster, I don’t need a detailed market overview of products, because based on many years of experience, I can recommend “none” as an absolutely sufficient option: it’s inexpensive and really not missed. Especially those homebuilders who have been hopping from one product selection appointment to another for several weekends often can’t see the forest for the trees.

A different perspective: I would never have thought of leaving the garage unplastered. In all the new housing developments as well as in existing areas, all garages are plastered. That’s why I found the suggestion interesting, but also somewhat confusing, as if I now seem to treat the garage and the car as something sacred.

You know all the garages in your neighborhood from the inside??? – that, in turn, I find interesting but also a bit confusing ;-)

I rather had the impression that you simply didn’t consider the most obvious alternative.

It seems like quite a lot of wine has been consumed again. Are there any mandatory garage regulations that one should be aware of?
A single mention that it is not strictly necessary to plaster the inside of a garage should be enough.
If people had to undergo training for that, psychiatric facilities across the entire EU probably wouldn’t be sufficient to accommodate Germans who have had their garage interiors plastered...

I’m always amazed at the dedication with which people create a home for their car, making others living in prefabricated buildings jealous.
But if someone feels they need that and can afford it... why not.

If everyone had to be instructed on that, mental hospitals across the entire EU probably wouldn’t have enough capacity to admit Germans who decided to have their garages plastered inside... [...] But if someone thinks they need it and can afford it... why not.

Nice that you repeat my points in your own words (even if that is somewhat inconsistent, since you rightly say one mention would have been enough). I haven’t found any garage rules as strict as the cellar rule (which I merely formulated, even if many skeptics overlook that). Plastering a garage interior is, for me as a prudish Protestant from Prussia, clearly the epitome of extravagance. But as someone born in the Rhineland and an immigrant child, I have learned generosity, can tell crazy from foolish, and would never put others in a mental institution. By the way, I never claimed that decades of expertise and experience make a person objective. That’s why you’ll never find advice on my info blog without background explanations for you to assess yourself.

Even in my most unfinished garages, there was never a fitted kitchen with a serving hatch, so they all had to envy a proud “panel building” 🙂
By the way, the bedroom of my current metal box is itself a metal box, which was already good enough for the Fiorano 🙂
