Walls in Alphen aan den Rijn
How a wall should be plastered depends on the brick and what's on it. In Alphen aan den Rijn, 32.2% of homes were built between 1975 and 1995, with walls of sand-lime brick and internal walls of aerated concrete or plasterboard blocks.
In the roughly 17,000 post-war reconstruction homes, walls are often buried under years of wallpaper and paint. The wallpaper comes off; sound paint can stay with a bonding coat over it.
32.2% of homes in Alphen aan den Rijn date from 1975–1995, with many aerated concrete internal walls. Aerated concrete draws the water out of the plaster; that's why we apply a primer coat first, otherwise you'll get shrinkage cracks.
