Greetings to the forum! The primer has been applied to the exterior walls at our site, but as a layperson, it doesn’t look sufficient to me.
I could somewhat understand if there were small “grain” gaps, but especially along the edges, there are gaps wide enough to fit the gold edge of a coin (I have attached photos).
The construction company says that the textured plaster is meant to cover that. But if that’s the case, I wonder why a primer is applied at all when some areas don’t seem covered by it. I’m concerned that there might be hollow spots later on that could cause problems.
Is the condition shown in the attached photos normal, or should I be more insistent about it? It mainly concerns the areas around several windows.
Thank you very much for your answers!
