Painting fleece or directly painted?

Hello everyone,

we are currently thinking about wall design.
Basically, it's about whether painter's fleece can be omitted.

About 3/4 of the surface is drywall (a cladding shell in front of a wooden house), the rest are masonry sand-lime brick walls.

Visually, I am a fan of only smoothly plastered surfaces that are painted.
Are there any homeowners who have implemented it this way or will do so?

The counterargument is the settlement cracks.
Currently, we have cracks in the wall and ceiling joints in our apartment despite wallpaper (new building, 3 years old).

Therefore, I am thinking right now: actually no matter how you do it, there will always be a few cracks.

Regards,

The cracks in the corners are not prevented by painter's fleece either, as it is also butted up at the corner.

We have painter's fleece (150g) on drywall + concrete ceiling, or concrete wall and drywall ceiling, the corners are thinly smoothed with acrylic, it looks tip top. The acrylic joint will eventually "break" and needs to be renewed.

Therefore, I am currently thinking: no matter how you do it, there will always be a few cracks.

That sums it up quite well.

I am also already asking myself the question. In fact, I would (will) make it dependent on how much additional cost is estimated (if this is to be commissioned in general) and how smooth the interior plaster has become. The standard is probably Q2. But in practice, there is Q2 that is smooth enough to paint directly over, and Q2 that must be filled and sanded multiple times. It probably also depends on the requirements.

Whether painter's fleece can also mask something like that would be a question I would like to raise here...

Painter's fleece does not conceal any unevenness, quite the opposite.

And if painter's fleece was pasted amateurishly, the seams are insanely visible. Better to omit the fleece then

But in practice there is probably Q2 that is smooth enough to just run your hand over it and Q2 that needs to be filled and sanded multiple times.

The quality does not depend that much on one's own perception. The surface quality Q2 is already quite well defined and can be looked up online. There are higher (and therefore more expensive) qualities for a reason.
