ᐅ Which type of smooth plaster is best for interior walls?

@Sebastian79, are you painting with dispersion paints or silicate paints?

I’m not sure yet – but since the connections will be installed next week, I plan to visit Brillux on Monday for advice and to pick up a small bucket to start painting the partially plastered wall.

Tell me, what are they saying? Has anyone else had experience with one or the other? Can you really notice any difference?
We need to talk to our painter to find out if they even work with silicate paints and what they would charge for that.

@Sebastian: When you run your hand over the dry plaster, a little bit always crumbles off. Not much, but it’s annoying. I assume that paint helps to stabilize the plaster. Since we had another layer of plaster applied over it, I can’t really say for sure.

When I ran my hand over the plaster, nothing crumbled (at least I didn't notice anything) – but it is also possible that it has already been treated by the plasterers.

I just got a 5-liter (1.3-gallon) bucket of silicate paint from Brillux. Everything about it seemed better compared to regular dispersion paint... especially the breathability and the fact that it doesn’t require a primer.

I’ve painted part of a wall and will take a look once it’s dry.

The finish is definitely matte compared to what you’re used to, and you can’t just wipe off stains with water. Tinting is only possible with light colors, not dark ones – so we will probably have to mix some shades.
