Log plank house without air gap and acrylic paint
[/QUOTE]S Stefan84 said:Now I have cut a piece out of the timber plank on one end. Thank goodness it looks great so far! However, I will check in more places too, to hopefully be completely at ease. But right now, the only jigsaw blade broke. Unfortunately, the hole saw doesn't go all the way through.[image] [image] [[image] QUOTE="Stefan84, post: 3598126, member: 301818"]Aha okay. Yes, I've read about these plastered facades earlier today. I mostly assumed it "is called" the same as wooden facades built like my house.
Hello again. Well, I still haven't done anything about the house's facade. There has been, and still is, so much else to do this year. Besides, it looked so good in March when I made a hole in the wall. But thoughts are, of course, circulating on how I should proceed when it's time to carry out the project next year.
Now, I currently have acrylic paint applied on the timber planks, without an air gap behind, and with age-resistant plastic behind the plasterboard. The plan is to nail/screw battens (vertically) directly onto the timber planks, and new outer paneling on top of that. This creates a natural air gap between the timber planks and the new paneling. Of course, I'll leave a gap open at the top against the sheathing and keep it open at the bottom so that air can flow freely behind the new paneling. But now to the thought I have. When I do this, do I have to sand off the acrylic paint at all on the timber planks? I mean, there's no rain or snow reaching the timber planks. Only the moisture naturally present in the air. But it shouldn't be particularly large amounts getting into the wall and causing black mold, right?
Just a consideration I have. It feels cumbersome to get a lacquer sanding machine and sand off a lot of paint if it's not necessary at all. Likewise, if for some reason there was a small hole in the age-resistant plastic behind the plasterboard, for example in the kitchen or living room, that shouldn't cause black mold in the wall either because the acrylic paint remains on the outside, right? It feels like the moisture amounts are so small that they should be able to seep out, for example, in the grooves of the timber planks.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I am grateful for all the help I receive from you experts in my considerations.
Best regards, Stefan
