Hello everyone,
I heard from an acquaintance that with Schwörerhaus, there is always a visible "seam" between two floors. Can anyone confirm this? If so, what is the reason for it?

Some prefabricated concrete panel houses are already machine-plastered at the factory. This means that seams remain wherever the house components are joined together. These seams are either plastered and painted on site or sealed with a filler material such as compressible foam tape.

Yes, I can confirm this with the seam. My parents have a Schwörer house and exactly this "overlap." I don’t really understand the purpose behind it. When I asked Schwörerhouse about it, they said it was about sealing against water running down. I can’t fully comprehend that argument.

Yes, every Schwörer house has that joint because of the factory-applied render. It simply shortens the on-site construction time.

There are 4-5 different options for how you want the joint to look visually. We chose the edge style, my sister went with the brick finish 20 years ago. I also think the render appears visually smoother under angled light compared to the neighbors’ houses.

PS Schwörer houses have a few other features that significantly reduce construction time. For example, the screed including underfloor heating is delivered as a prefabricated element. So, there is no need to wait for the screed to dry.

If you want something done quickly, you get it done quickly. We have a solid brick house, and cracks were repaired. Everything only got worse. After 15 years, new plaster and then peace.

Thank you all!
This is a deal-breaker for me.
