Painting on Fermacell, which dispersion covers filled joints?

We would like to simply paint our room, which we have self-built with Fermacell boards, with a dispersion paint. Is there a dispersion or any other paint that would cover the joints covered with a mesh and skimmed?

Thank you very much for your kind response!

Level the putty with primer to match the reduced absorbency of the remaining area, apply two coats of branded wall paint from the specialist dealer, then it is guaranteed to cover. However, putty errors are not retouched. :)

hello everyone

we want to redo our living room ceiling. the ceiling is currently paneled. the idea would be to tack fermacell boards directly onto the paneling.

the question now:
can you paint fermacell boards directly after filling the joints and tack holes? as schwarzmeier already described? does it then look perfect? ps: we would install the fermacell boards ourselves and then have a painter fill and paint them.
or do you first have to plaster or apply white plaster for a perfect finish?

thanks for your help

Hello Senad,

What would be "perfect" for you?
For me as an architect, "perfect" would be a very smooth plastering over professionally processed joints; then you can paint whatever you want and it looks really good - so "perfect".
But, to get back to the beginning of your question, stapling onto the paneling won’t work. Fermacell boards require a substructure, so the boards are attached to the substructure. If you attach the boards to the paneling, you don’t know whether that will be sufficiently secure, i.e. mounted on a batten.

Even if the Fermacell boards don’t fall down (which could happen), the movements caused by inadequate fastening would ruin any good plastering - the joints would crack, and all the work would be in vain.

What's up, how does it look?

Fermacell surfaces should receive at least a Q4 filler application if only a paint coating is to be applied. The painting must be done very carefully, because the smoother the substrate is, the more every roller or brush texture is visible. I recommend a painter's fleece or fiberglass fabric before painting. This also prevents any possible cracks.
