Fresh facade plaster on ETICS is cracked

Hello everyone,

I just bought a shell house from a well-known manufacturer, which is also responsible for the facade plaster.

This was applied at lightning speed this weekend. The scaffolding was set up on Friday evening, plastering began on Saturday morning, and by around 6 p.m. the crew was gone (including the scaffolding).

I only noticed late in the evening that the plaster is cracked on all sides of the house. The cracks are all very, very small and can only be seen if you focus on them.

Is this still normal or do I need to file a complaint? In between, it rained quite heavily and afterwards the sun shone strongly. Could this possibly be the cause?

Thank you in advance for helpful answers.

Best regards Thomas

Should it still be painted?

Even if not, I hope it’s not too dramatic. It has looked similar for me for years...

Hello Thomas,

This was applied in no time this weekend. The scaffolding was set up on Friday evening, plastering started on Saturday morning, and by around 6 PM the crew was gone again (including scaffolding).

Base coat and finish plaster in one day?

Rhenish greetings

Hello,
during the house assembly, the base plaster was already applied to the individual wall elements, only the area between the two floors and all corners that were joined together were additionally plastered. However, that was already 5 weeks ago.

The wall is not to be painted, it is already as white as a wall can be.
