Lay the floor before plastering / Cover properly

sorry :-( what do you call it then?

The work process of bringing a plaster from Q2 to Q3 is called, as correctly stated above, filling and sanding. In Q4, this is then done over the entire surface.

Yes, I think it shouldn't be such a huge mess. Just out of interest since we're chatting so nicely here. What do you consider a fair price for 440 sqm of surface to be plastered (wall and ceiling)? From Q2 to Q3 and paint twice with Caparol.

Wouldn't it be better to use painter's fleece? The floor will be installed before anyway. At least with our tiles. For us, filling, sanding, and painting twice for a living area of 140 sqm and 2.69m height costs about €9,000. But it's supposed to be particularly cheap, as I was told.

I have an offer for 143sqm living space with putty, painting fleece, and 2x painting for just under 10k gross. Without painting fleece, 7k gross. Whether the extra cost for the painting fleece is worth it, I find hard to assess.

That depends on your plaster. We usually have Q3 quality, but still have painting fleece done because there are different structures on the walls, and you can see them afterwards if you only paint. If it doesn’t bother you, leave out the painting fleece.

Laying the floor before plastering is actually not possible. Plasterers generally work rather roughly. They are no virtuosos.

I guess a plastering machine is used for large surfaces. Have you ever looked at what kind of hoses and pressures are used there? Probably not. Even tracing paper is not enough to cover it.

The hose couplings alone, so-called banjo couplings, are made of solid metal, heavy and angular with 2 protruding safety locks. If one of those rubs over your floor once, it’s ruined. If a hose should burst, which can always happen, you’ll have a huge mess.

So I would never do such nonsense. Ladders or small scaffolds also scrape on the floor. Add to that the moisture. The plasterer will curse you or even raise the price because he has to work slowly.

So a definite no. You cannot lay the floor before plastering.

Regarding the other plastering work. I don’t think much of gypsum plaster in a solid house. It’s nice for the plasterer to work with and also to get smooth walls. Still, I would always prefer a lime cement plaster. Gypsum plaster attracts moisture and odors. I only use it in emergencies.
