Good day all
Hope to get some community feedback.
New house just completing, qconn walls.
The cement facing has been applied and was complete. But after a day or so hairline cracks atarted appearing, to the consternation of the builder more than me,as many people are looking for house builders around here so this is his chance to get some.
They say the cracks are likely due to the sand having some salt content. I looked for information on this and found what looks like a informative site (was from another thread on this forum)
Reasons of Cracks in Buildings | Prevention of Cracks in Building | Cracks in House | Cracks in wall | Cracks in Foundation | Cracks - GharExpert.com
It mentions that compromised base material could be a cause, wondering if community here has any comment. Of course walls are not load bearing so not an issue there.
Builders next step is to add a skim coat using Lenko, apparently a skim coat with an adhesive property added, which will seal the walls and stop further cracking.
Any comments from the community appreciated, thanks in advance.
