Vegger og tak inne - fjerne maling fra furu «shiplap»
 6     0
Hello everyone,
 
My first post; I have recently moved to Norway from England and would be very grateful for their advice!

Our house is painted white everywhere. We want to remove the paint everywhere - from walls and ceilings (in English we call it "shiplap") - so you can see the original pine tree below. The tree must be untreated.
 
We have researched it, but are unsure of which product will work best. Preferably a "healthy" product.
 
Will a spot theater and scratching take too long?
A hot air gun and scraper?
What about paint remover?
 
And we have no experience with removing paint from ceilings - is it crazy to try ?!
 
Thank you!

remove and replace... i don't think there is any viable option

in norwegian shiplap is generally called "panel"

Americans love finding old "shiplap" in houses from the 1920's on house renovation shows on TV, and that's understandable if you like old stuff and want to keep the original character of the house.

Norwegian furu panel is not old, fancy shiplap, but cheap stuff that used to be really popular. The Beatles would've called it "Norwegian wood" (from Wikipedia: Paul McCartney explained that the term "Norwegian Wood" was an ironic reference to the cheap pine wall panelling then in vogue in London). It can still look good if used in the right way and the right place though.

As stated above, just replace it. It will be a lot of work for little savings to try to remove paint from it. Or if you're not dead set on having the wood look, paint it a different color.

thanks for this, and i suspect our shiplap is definitely old and cheap! Looks like painting it another colour is the best way (at the moment it's just boring white). Tusen takk!
