Hello,

in our house (built in 2011) almost all silicone joints (transition from tiles to baseboard) are cracked.
The construction period of the house was almost exactly half a year, the joints were done during this time.
Are there tolerances here or is this generally a defect?
The cracks vary in width and range from half a millimeter to several millimeters.

Hello,


This is not a defect; if you look at your then current contract for work or the associated BB, you will probably find a corresponding exclusion regarding joints.

Best regards from the Rhineland

Insulation and screed settle, unfortunately this cannot be avoided. It would be reasonable to close this joint only after a few months, but unfortunately this is not possible with the short construction times.

What has become of it? Have the cracks gotten bigger or have they stayed the same?
