Hello,
We have the final inspection of our house next week. Today, we thoroughly examined the house and noticed that long cracks have appeared in the screed on the ground floor. Also, the corners at the patio doors are rounded.
The builder says these are normal stress cracks and nothing to worry about.
Do these cracks necessarily need to be repaired? What happens if we simply lay our vinyl flooring over them now?
Also, does anyone know what these 'cables' (last picture) in the screed are?
Thank you in advance

Where is the problem now?There actually isn’t one.
@ "Onik500":
The challenge with public forums, as you can see, is the diversity of opinions.
Please do not be discouraged and make sure to point out the facts to your screed installer!
In the end, it does not matter where and how edge strips were installed. Once, for example, the screed is laid, the responsibility for the proper preceding work shifts to that contractor. As a professional, they are required to identify any potential weak points during their inspection duties, which must be carried out with the usual care expected in the trade, and to inform the client of any concerns if they arise.
