A plasterer at Bouwsector België plasters about 100 m² per day on average, but drying time usually decides your schedule.

One coat of wall paint is enough when you refresh a wall in the same or a lighter colour, while a second coat is needed for a colour change, a dark shade or bare plaster.

Sanding plasterwork is needed for a skim or film coat that will get wallpaper or paint, for patched holes and cracks, and for an old wall with rough patches.

There are two ways to get decorative plaster off a wall: have the texture removed, or have the wall skimmed smooth.

Most types of wallpaper work in a bedroom, because the walls there see little moisture and few knocks.

Rauhfaser, or woodchip wallpaper, is paper with small wood fibres in it, which give the wall a grainy texture once painted.

Wallpapering a rented home is best arranged with your landlord in advance: your lease and the inventory of condition decide what is allowed and what you must restore when you leave.

Having a feature wall or half wall wallpapered works well as a one-off job or together with the rest of your home, from €18.99 per m².

You choose a wallpaper hanger on five points, starting with who actually does the work and how the price is built up.

Bubbles in wallpaper appear where the paper is not stuck to the wall, because of trapped air, too little paste or a loose surface.
