Re-clad a spotted facade?

Hello.

The construction mistakes of the 90s are becoming increasingly obvious in the truest sense of the word. Back then, the insulation boom started. We would have liked to have a stucco plaster applied, but unfortunately had to quickly choose a painting company whose employees were not aware of the long-term impact of their approach. The insulation boards were attached with, let’s call them disc anchors. Beer coaster-sized plastic discs held the insulation boards to the wall. Today they are glued.

That white plaster darkens over the years is clear. But due to the different material densities (plastic, base plaster, and paint), numerous round spots shimmer through the plaster around the house, which is also contaminated with green algae.

There are now the following possibilities. Continue living with it... could you do that? I would really be interested. Or redesign the facade. It may not be possible because of the insulation boards, or only with high technical effort. Possibly with slate or clinker panels. Or re-plaster. Is there a plaster that is so thick or dense that the "disc anchors" never shimmer through again?

Regards, Sauerländer

As always, a photo is helpful here :)

I know. ;) I also knew that the note would come, but I don't want that. I ask for understanding. Even writing the request brought suppressed feelings back up. :(

Plate dowels are still used in the same way. We have a similar problem (however, the plaster is only 3 years old, but it was terribly botched, had to be repaired everywhere and is therefore patchwork) and I don't dare to replaster. There is no money for that either. Therefore, it will be flat cladding. They look like bricks but weigh only about 5 kg per square meter. I also dare to stick them on without any problems. And they really look good. Various companies offer these flat claddings, for example Brillux, Caparol or Elastolith.

Are they being sealed, or how does that work? Don't they crack when the styrofoam expands differently?

Flat veneers, thanks for the tip, I will google it right away.
