What should you check first?
Start with the flatness and condition of the wall. A thin finish can be a good choice if the substrate falls within the application conditions. If damage, seams or clear height differences may require additional preparation or other construction of the plaster layers.
How does this affect your choice?
Let us assess which product is being used and what requirements it requires. Thin plaster layer is not a universal system for every new wall. Also indicate whether the wall has already been treated and which finish will eventually follow. The combination of substrate and end goal determines the choice.
Planning the next step
In the offer, ask for a distinction between equalization, thin finishing and painting. In this way, you prevent a price for a thin finish from being compared with a package with more repair. Take pictures and any delivery list of the builder to the review.
Practical checklist
- Check flatness
- Ask for product choice
- Separation repair and Finish
- Discuss the desired finish

More advice for your project
A thin layer requires an appropriate base
With thin plaster layers, the choice does not start with the number of new building rooms, but with the flatness and condition of the walls. Large defects and damage must be assessed first. Only the word new construction does not tell whether a thin layer is sufficient.
Discuss these points for your home
- Check seams and material transitions.
- Record the repair before the thin finish.
- Adjust the desired finish to paint or wallpaper.
