Red lime plaster added value? Which color and how often to paint?

Offers 2 and 3 are tied ...

Do not confuse the painting work in the new building with a renovation coat in a rental apartment.

Offers 2 and 3 are neck and neck ...

Do not confuse the painting work in new construction with a renovation paint job in a rental apartment.

Thank you for your feedback. Since I naively only calculate the material costs and the paint and utensils will not cost 5000 euros, I am much more satisfied with offer 3. Due to my profession, I can afford to spend several hours every day on the construction site for a few weeks.

It reads as if you would really like to have this specific plaster. In that respect, it suits you if you do not offset the additional effort, even though you simply omit a large part of it in your calculations. However, the actual answer to part of your question remains that this plaster will be significantly more expensive and you have to decide for yourself why or if you want to bear these additional costs. I understand well, though, that one puts in more effort or pays more when one really wants something.

Mist. Interpreted correctly 99%. :D Yes, I am really quite stuck and would have liked confirmation here that the added value of the cleaning really covers the extra effort and is not a marketing gimmick.

- Just a thought please. Why? Once the paint is on, you won’t notice any difference of the expensive stuff in your house. You go into a house with gypsum plaster and then think: phew, there’s no difference. And all that money for nothing.
Lime plasters make sense in the area of monument preservation. Let’s say a castle or a church is to be renovated. Late Middle Ages. The builders back then couldn’t build airtight. It wasn’t possible. They didn’t have the material yet. The Romans knew about concrete, but that had been forgotten in Northern Europe in the meantime.
If you now coat such a wall from the inside with machine plaster and paint it with Caparol, the following happens: from the outside, the wall absorbs water during damp weather periods. Inside it’s sealed off. This causes the water to make the plaster flake off. Typical damage due to old meeting modern. If you take lime plaster and chalk paint, plaster and paint become slightly damp but don’t flake off. Then drier weather or wind comes, and the wall dries out, the plaster too, the paint too, nothing happens.
Clear? But your house is sealed on the outside and dry on the inside. So what’s the use of this plaster? Ask yourself that very objectively. K.

Deep down, I also feel that you are right. Especially since a controlled residential ventilation system is already planned. We have set a decision deadline until the end of April. Maybe the penny will drop for me by then. Currently, the gypsum plaster including paint and painting is still included in the offer. The red lime offer was made spontaneously during our last conversation with the general contractor from offer 3. I just wonder why this topic is currently so relevant, especially in new construction? Simply just hype?
