Building exteriors

As a precaution, use interior footing drains (in addition to exterior drains) and 4 in. of No. 2 stone below the slab that drains to the building exterior. In this way, subslab ventilation can be added easily in case a problem is discovered later.40... 

The susceptibility of a building exterior material to soiling is closely related to its contact angle with water. The material used on the outside wall of a building is actually more like to be soiled if it is more water-repellent. Thus, plastic is more likely to be soiled than sheet glass or tiles. A water-repellent material like a fluorocarbon plastic is the most likely to be soiled. A highly... 

Industrial paint applications for special effect pigments are e.g. furniture, bicycles, airplanes, rail wagons, cans and containers, building exteriors, interior decoration, artificial pearls and jewelry. The main reasons for their use are the achievable special effects, the attractiveness of the colors and the good application behavior [5.122].

An acid can be either strong (and easily eat aw some metals - for example, hydrochloric add or spirits of salts), or weak, for instance citric acid, which we eat in lemons. Strong acids are a threat to human tissue and metal structures, and even some weak acids like hydrofluoric acid, used for cleaning aluminium and building exteriors, are very toxic to body tissue. Acids are acids because they release so-called ions of the element l rdrogen. 

There are a number of valid reasons for cleaning building exteriors. Before building units are repaired or replaced, the original colors and textures of these units must be known so they can be properly matched. And, when new materials are installed, uniform appearance and weathering of the entire structure are desirable.
