Painting Problems and Solutions
What is it?
- These types of cracks are often straight vertical or horizontal lines, or in stepped diagonal lines. The cracks go through the plaster and are generally wider than 0.5mm.
Possible Causes
- This can be the cause of differential movement of the foundations, moisture expansion or drying shrinkage of masonry units, or thermal movement of the roof.
How Can I Fix This Problem
- Because these cracks originate in the wall and not in the plaster, repairing the plaster is ineffective. A specialist is required to establish the cause and recommend remedial measures.
- Such measures may include structural alterations which change craks into movement joints. Visable joints can be hidden by coverstrips fixed one side of the joint or sealed with elastometric sealants
