Throw Away Cracks In Walls
Something that does not seem dangerous usually tend to be ignored. This also applies to your home remodelling project. You certainly will be motivated to do renovations if you see large disturbances that may jeopardize your home. It’s not a bad thing. However, if examined further, there are little things that actually affect the aesthetic value of the house that we live in, one of which is hair cracks in the wall.
Hair cracks are cracks caused by non-structural factors and usually in the form of fine cracks that form curved lines. There are 2 main causes of non-structural cracks like this, such as material shrinkage and expansion differences in relation to temperature, and composition of materials that are less precise.
When building the wall, there are several alternative materials that can be used, such as red brick, brick, brick light and the different types of mortar or plaster. These materials have different shrinkage expansion value each other. When the temperature around the building changed, there are some of the material will experience a more rapid shrinkage while there are other materials that have not undergone a change. When this happens, between the two materials or layers of conflict of movement, it is this that triggered the cracks on the wall.
The use of conventional mortar can also be a cause of the rift. If you do not supervise their own course of development or buying a house in a state so, you certainly can not control the quality, composition and size of grains of sand in the mortar materials used. This is preventable if you use particular cement that is made with choice and quality of raw materials processed by computerized technology as well as setting the proper composition, resulting in a consistent and homogeneous mixture.
If the hair already cracked the walls of the house alight, the following are the corrective measures that you can do:
Peel the layers of paint on the wall surface. If only part of the surface of the wall that has cracked, peeled layers of paint on the walls of the crack only.
Close the part that has been exfoliated with the right cement (repair surface), the recommended application thickness is 0.5 mm – 2mm, with a maximum thickness of 2mm.
If necessary, the blend surface can be sanded to obtain a flat surface.
The walls are ready to be painted
