ᐅ Too little Ytong adhesive applied – is this a defect that needs to be corrected?

In the 36cm (14 inch) masonry wall, only about 20cm (8 inches) of adhesive was applied. This results in open joints of up to 12cm (5 inches) on the interior and exterior sides.

In the Ytong instructions, I always find that the adhesive must be applied over the entire surface, not just on 20 out of 36cm (8 out of 14 inches).

What disadvantages can be expected from this type of construction?

Is this a defect, and can it be corrected?

Structurally, I wouldn’t worry about that in the case of a bungalow; I would be more concerned with a multi-story building. Ignoring the installation instructions worries me for another reason: it suggests the masonry work might have been done by an untrained assistant.

Yes, I am now seeing this as more concerning as well. We are also talking about two and a half stories.
