EXTERIOR FINISHES

Exterior finish materials protect the structure from sun exposure, moisture, and wind. These materials are to be provided so that the wall can withstand extreme weather and be compatible with other components of the building.

Some examples of exterior finishes are wall cladding , wood siding , flashing , gutters & downspouts , brick veneer , corrugated metal , fiber-cement panels , stucco , paints and coatings .

COATINGS & PAINTS

PRINCIPAL TYPES OF COATINGS Paints

Stains
Varnishes PAINTS

Its a solution of a pigment in water, oil, or organic solvent, used to cover wood or metal articles either for protection or for appearance.

PAINT COMPOSITION

Binder Binder makes the coat of paint retain its structure, and binds it to the surface to which it is applied. Solvent Solvent dissolves the paint to make it usable at normal room temperatures. Primers They are base coats applied to a surface to improve the adhesion of subsequent coats of paint or varnish. Sealers They are base coats applied to a surface to reduce absorption of subsequent coats of paint or varnish, or to prevent bleeding through the finish coat

PAINT TYPES USED IN EXTERIORS

Snowcem Washing

It consists of base of white cement mixed with finely powdered colouring pigment. It gives a waterproof surface.

It is manufactured in 50kg drums, 25kg drums and 5kg tin.

Proportions : mixing 2 parts of snowcem powder with 1 part of water by volume and then thinning it by adding another 1 part of water. Snowcem should be used within an hour of mixing. Other similar cement washing compounds are supercem, aquacem and durocem.

PAINT TYPES USED IN EXTERIORS

Decorative cement colour washing

It consists of white cement mixed with colouring pigments and other ingredients.

The solution should be thin and screened through a piece of cloth.

It should be applied in 2 coats , 2nd to be applied after 4hrs of the 1st coat. After application of the cement, the surface should be kept moist for atleast 2 days and protected from hot sun and drying winds.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior)

Alligatoring

Patterned cracking in the surface of the paint film resembling the regular scales of an alligator. Formation of fine powder on the surface of the paint film during weathering, which can cause color fading. Although some degree of chalking is a normal, desirable way for a paint film to wear, excessive film erosion can result in heavy chalking. Crusty, white salt deposits, leached from mortar or masonry as water passes through it. Loss of adhesion where many old coats of alkyd or oil-based paint received a latex top coat.

Chalking

Efflorescence/Mottling

Paint Incompatibility

Peeling

Loss of paint due to poor adhesion. Where there is a primer and top coat, or multiple coats of paint, peeling may involve some or all coats.
A rough, crinkled paint surface occurring when paint forms a "skin.

Wrinkling

Plaster

Plaster is a building material used for coating walls and ceilings and is usually mixed with water to form a paste which liberates heat and then hardens. Different proportion of cement and mortar are 1:3,1:4,1:5,1:6. Generally, 1:4 ration is used for plastering. Unlike mortar and cement, plaster remains quite soft after setting, and can be easily manipulated with metal tools or even sandpaper. These characteristics make plaster suitable for a finishing, rather than a load-bearing material. External plastering shall be started from top and worked down towards floor. For external finish preferred plaster thicknesses are 15 mm,18mm and 20mm. Plastering should be applied in 3 coats : 1st coat of 10mm thick, 2nd coat of 10mm-6mm and finishing coat of 56mm.

Uses

Curing

Plaster is used to protect the actual structure of the building i.e. the masonry or the RCC units, from exposure to changes in weather. It is used as a weather proofing sealant, to protect against wind, rain and sun. Plaster also acts as a fire-proofing material both in interior as well as exterior.

Curing shall be started 24 hours after finishing the plaster.

The plaster shall be kept wet for a period of seven days. During this period, it shall be suitably protected from all damages. The dates on which the plastering is done shall be legibly marked on the various sections plastered so that curing for the specified period thereafter can be watched.
