Hi all,
We're planning to cover these painted interior brick walls with framing/gyprock to modernise our space. The brick was painted many years ago and we're trying to work out the best approach. Our main question: Should we strip the paint off the brick before installing vapour barrier, framing and gyprock, or is it fine to frame directly over the painted surface?
We've never noticed any dampness on the walls, but there is some peeling of paint (as pictured).
Of course, we're looking to do this properly to avoid any issues down the track.
Grateful for any advice on best practice, potential pitfalls to watch for, or if there's anything else we should consider before starting this project.
Thanks!
