WALL FINISHES

GROUP I- Aadith, Aaron, Abhiram, Abhirami, Afrin, Akhila, Aleesha, Anagha, Anan, Aneez.
INTRODUCTION
- As the name “Wall Finishes” itself suggests that it is finish given to the wall to enhance the interior or
exterior look of the structure.
- Wall finishes used for the interiors are quite delicate and need maintenance. The new contemporary
trend has brought about great deal of increase in the usage of various types of wall finishes for the
aesthetic purpose in the interiors and exteriors.
- Wall finishes provide a decorative skin to conceal building components including structural members,
insulation, ductwork, pipes and wires.
- Surfaces may be smooth or textured and better wall finishes are durable. Whereas, some wall finishes
are versatile, taking decorative finishes such as stain, paint or wallpaper readily.
- Walls maybe a decorative element, or maybe just a background. Combustibility and resistance to water
of a wall finish may be an issue.

PLASTERING
Plaster is a building material used for the protective or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for
moulding and casting decorative elements.The most common types of plaster mainly contain either gypsum,
lime, or cement, but all work in a similar way. The plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with
water to form a stiff but workable paste immediately before it is applied to the surface. The reaction with
water liberates heat through crystallization and the hydrated plaster then hardens.

LIME PLASTER
Lime plaster is a mixture of calcium hydroxide and sand (or other inert fillers). Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
causes the plaster to set by transforming the calcium hydroxide into calcium carbonate (limestone).

GYPSUM PLASTER
Gypsum plaster, or plaster of Paris, is produced by heating gypsum to about 300 °F.

CEMENT PLASTER
A mortar consisting of portland cement, sand, and water used for plastering interior surfaces of a building
LIME PLASTER GYPSUM PLASTER CEMENT PLASTER
LIME
Lime is produced through the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate) in a lime kiln at temperatures at or
above 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The product of calcination of high calcium limestone is "quicklime" or
calcium oxide. Quicklime in turn can be reacted with water to produce hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide).
LIME MORTAR IN INDIA
Traditionally lime mortar (in India) was prepared by mixing lime+surkhi+sand+jaggery+methi+googal and
other organic additives as per the region. Moreover it needs to be mixed in pan type muller mixer unlike
cement mortar which is mixed by “hand”.

After grading of surkhi and sand, it is mixed with lime putty in pan type mixer. Depending upon the
requirement we also add fly ash to get advantage of pozzolanic properties. The mixing in slurry form for at
least 15 minutes results in uniform and homogenous mix. At the same time add water based solvent prepared
from molasses, ‘methi’ and ‘googal’. The prepared mix is in form of paste.
Wet mortar is supplied to the site, and same can be used directly for plaster or masonry work. However if it is
not utilized immediately it has to be put into shallow tank and kept covered and thoroughly wet till use. It
needs to be reworked manually every alternate day.
APPLICATION OF LIME PLASTER
The stored lime is taken out in required quantities and is mixed with
kadukkai-jaggery water, to make a more liquefied paste and it is applied over the
walls as the first coat (scratch coat).The wall surface must be made moist before
applying the scratch coat ideally by spraying water on the surface or by splashing
water with a mug.

● The mix should be thrown onto the walls with good force, using a trowel in a
swing so that it will grip the wall. The technique takes quite some time to be
mastered.
● First coat fills in all the gaps and undulations on the wall.
● When the first coat is dried, 1.5″ thick second coat (levelling coat) is applied
using the same mix, but having more amount of kadukkai-jaggery water, and the
walls are smoothened.
● A final coat (finish coat) is applied to cover all the minute cracks and to give a
smooth surface finish.
● At the places like edge of walls that are pointing the lime plaster should be
rounded. If it is finished with pointed edge plaster will crack after undergoing
expansion due to carbonation (setting).
● Required colors can be achieved by mixing lime with various natural pigments
and colored sand, and applying as a final lime wash.
WHY USE LIME?

1. Provides building breathing property–the lime was regarded as a material by the society for protection
against the depletion of ancient buildings. This material let the building to be vapor permeable, thus
allowing to breathe. This reduces the chances of trapped moisture and the damage of the building.
2. Renders Comfortable Environment– Absorbing moisture by the lime, stabilize internal humidity
3. Ecological Benefits– energy conservation than cement, small scale production of lime is possible
4. Protection of adjacent materials– Porous texture of lime handle the moisture movement, without
affecting the adjacent materials
5. Provides good workability
6. Durability is high
7. Beautiful finish for the building
8. Self-healing properties– Any movement of the building made of lime, creates micro-cracks. Presence
of moisture make the free lime active to precipitate and heal these micro cracks
Gypsum Plastering
Gypsum is a grayish white soft compound that contains hydrated calcium sulphate, and is a widely used
material in light weight construction in the western countries. Gypsum is environment friendly.
Advantages
1. Ease of Application (Workability): Gypsum can be directly applied over brick/block work without separate
finishing. It is also very easy to apply and level gypsum plaster.

2. No Shrinkage Cracks: Gypsum reaction produces less heat as compared to cement reaction with water.
So there are fewer Shrinkage cracks in gypsum plaster as compared to traditional cement plaster.
3. Quick Setting Time: Gypsum sets quickly (i.e., within 25-30 mins). So painting could be started 72 hours
after application of gypsum plaster. Plaster has to be dried up before painting.

4. No curing time required: Unlike Traditional Cement Plaster, Gypsum plaster doesn’t need any curing saving
water and time during construction

5. High Productivity: Reduces time considerably when compared to conventional cement plaster

6. High Performance: Excellent high strength after drying, Durable and Light weight (Reduces dead load on
structure)
7. Smooth Finish: Perfectly lined, levelled, smooth walls and perfect right angled corners

8. Reduced Supervision: Careful quality checking is required for cement plaster as cement and sand has to
be properly proportioned. In contrast, gypsum plaster doesn’t require same amount of quality checks for
application thus reducing supervision efforts.

9. Readily available raw materials: Gypsum is a ready available material. Natural Sand, which is a raw
material used in Traditional cement plaster, is hard to obtain. It is also banned in multiple states in India

10. Fire resistant: Gypsum plaster is highly resistant to fire

11. Low thermal conductivity: Gypsum has low thermal conductivity. This saves electrical cost for heating
and cooling rooms in a building.

12. Decorative application: It can be easily applied to decorative purposes also and can be mould into
different shapes
Disadvantages
1. Gypsum plaster cannot be used for outside walls since they retain dampness. Also gypsum plastering
cannot be done in areas which are continuously damp such as bathroom etc.,

2. Gypsum plaster is costlier than traditional cement motar plaster (cement and sand) for same thickness of
plaster. But in areas where natural/river sand is not available for construction, cement mortar plastering would
require a 6 mm gypsum layer to finish it making cement plaster more costly.

MUD WALL FINISHING
A wall usually constructed of a mixture of clay and binder such as chopped straw often gravel is added

It can be prepare on site

One layer has to dry before the next is laid,so cob buildings takes time
Advantages of mud wall finishing

Mud wall retain long time without eroded

Keeping the building cool in summer and warm in winter

Estentically pleesing

Disadvantages of mud wall finishing


Without proper finishing and applying occur cracking

Also moisture absorb from the atmosphere

Take more time for curing

Barium Plaster
A Barium Plaster to which barium salts have been added into cement,
sand, lime & other material during fabrication. It used on walls of x-ray
rooms as a plaster, barrier and wall finishes. Wall type material also
give a different radiation Leakage dose reading.

Acoustic Plaster
Acoustic plaster is plaster which contains fibres or aggregate so that it
absorbs sound. Early plasters contained asbestos, but newer ones
consist of a base layer of absorptive substrate panels, which are
typically mineral wool, or a non-combustible inorganic blow-glass
granulate.
VARNISH
Wood is valuable for structural purpose and decorative purpose also. Wood has plant origin. The wood used
for building construction is known as Timber. Forests produce a huge quantity of timber. Cellulose,
Hemicellulose, Lignin and other substances are the constituents of wood. Aliphatic compounds, phenols, fats,
waxes, terpenes, terpenoids etc. are found in woods. Stilbenes, Tannins, Flavonoids and Lignanas are phenolic
compounds available in woods.

Woods are of different types:

(1) Hardwood
(2) Softwood
(3) Heartwood
(4) Sapwood
(5) Springwood
(6) Summerwood.

Coating of varnishes is useful for wood, metal and their derivatives. It is also useful for plastic and masonry.
Varnish is a formulation of resinous matter, as copal or lac, dissolved in oilor in alcoholor any other liquid.
When a varnish is applied to the surface of wood or metal, it dries and leaves a hard and generally transparent
coating. Itis a shiny coating which is applied on a floor or furniture. It dries clear and luminous. It gives a hard,
lustrous and transparent finish to the surface.

It gives furniture, wooden materials, artwork and other objects a glossy look. It also protects the surface.
Usually varnish is prepared from resin, solvent and oil. The Medieval Latin root word for varnish is ‘ vernix’ that
means odorous or fragrant resin.

Some varnishes harden immediately as the solvent evaporates. So, it produces a film. The other varnishes
harden slowly over a period of time. The process of hardening involves oxidation and polymerization.

Shellac, Resin and Lacquer dry immediately. Acrylic and some of the water based varnishes evaporate the
water or solvent and dry over a period of time. It is also known as curing process of varnishes. Oil based,
polyurethane and epoxy varnishes also dry slowly to hard finish.

Generally, the factors like following affect curing process of a varnish:

- Temperature
- Humidity of atmosphere
- Components of varnish.
Process Of Varnishing
Application of varnish on wood work is carried out in the following steps.

● Preparation of surface: The wood surface is made smooth by thoroughly rubbing it by means of
sandpaper or pumice stone.

● Knotting: The process of knotting is carried out exactly in the same way as adopted for painting wood
work.

● Stopping: Stopping is done by means of hot weak glue size so that pores on the surface are filled up.
Alternately, boiled linseed oil can be applied in two coats. The dry surface then be rubbed down with
sandpaper.

● Coat of varnish: On the cleaned surface, two or more coats of varnish are applied. Next coat is applied
only when the previous coat has dried up thoroughly.

TILE CLADDING
Cladding is an exterior finishing system akin to a skin or an additional non-load bearing layer which serves a
dual purpose. It not only helps in protecting the interiors of the building from the harsh weather elements but
also makes the outside decorative and attractive. The right cladding helps to maintain the buildings
weather-tight and cost-effective, at the same time provides thermal insulation, reducing the temperature
variation inside the building. It also helps to improve interior acoustic and day lighting.

Applied Tile Cladding


Using traditional methods, tiles are fixed to the building by an adhesive or cement mortar. The bond to the substrate is
chemical. Tile size is generally limited to 300x300mm on buildings tiled above the first floor.
Vertical Tile Hanging

Towards the end of the 17th century most tile-hung buildings were timber-framed houses. The technique has
evolved today to become popular throughout the country (Malaysia), particularly at first-floor level, over
modern timber-frame to give a vernacular feel.Vertical battens are fixed to the outside face of the SIP wall
panel, followed by counter battens and tile hung cladding

.
Modern Tile Cladding Systems

Ventilated facade Tiling

Ventilated facades are of growing interest throughout the world as environmental legislation, energy costs
and ongoing maintenance costs are taken into account. The porcelain stoneware tiles or panels used in
ventilated tile facades are all light-fast, UV and frost resistant. They also offer the following advantages over
ceramic cladding stuck directly onto the building:
• Reduced risk of cracking and separation from the building

• Ease of installation

• Ease of maintenance

• Can be self-cleaning

• The ability to gain access to each individual tile or slab. 40


Connection to the Building

They serve as the invisible connection of the facade panels to the substructure. This Quadro fastening is a
ceramic composite element with an integral stainless steel screw, which is inter-fused on the reverse side of
the façade panel in a special firing process. The stainless steel screw with a self-locking stainless steel nut
permits the precise connection of the facade panel to the substructure, and its exact subsequent adjustment.
The result is a particularly uniform joint structure. The grid formats 60 x 60 cm and 60 x 90 cm are fixed on the
aluminum substructure by means of clasps. Larger panels up to the format of 120 x 120 cm are safely fixed
by means of continuous bearing profiles on a rail system
Clay Tile Cladding

Clear and simple in its form, completely free from grooves. Developed as an economical and design
alternative to the ceramic tile cladding facade systems,. Features increased resistance to breaking in areas at
risk., 8 mm wide joints provide drainage during rain.

● Economical installation even under difficult conditions.


● Has a wide range of colours and effects, up to project-specific special solutions,
● Clay tile design is ideal for creative facade design in contemporary look.

Aspect Technical Benefits:


Sustainable building material, with multiple benefits:
● Long life of 50 to 60 years
● Provides thermal insulation and weather protection
● Provides improved sound insulation by approx. 9 dB
● Frost-proof, non-flammable
● (material claProtection against impact, resistance to graffiti
● Virtually maintenance-free
Stone Cladding

Stone cladding is an exterior facing for a structure which is made from block material or brick. While cladding
typically does not bear weight traditional brick cladding were both the structural material as well as the
cladding, thus contributing to the stability of a structure, it plays a number of important other roles in a
building.For safety reasons, brick cladding is sometimes not recommended in seismically active areas, where
bricks could collapse during an earthquake, causing injuries or property damage.

Natural Stone

Building material of choice before bricks, natural stone is derived from slate. As naturally formed stone it
possessed natural waterproof but was susceptible to moisture ingress. It was very durable, with high strength
however failure of natural stone was sudden due to it’s brittleness
Modern Stone Cladding

Granite Cladding

Granite cladding is attached to a structure with stainless steel anchor systems; this metal is most
recommended by stone fabricators in order to avoid corrosion (ILIA 2007, MIA 2007). Anchors include straps,
dovetails, rods, and variations of these devices. An assortment of bolts and screws are available from
manufacturers.
As a natural stone, granite will last at minimum the lifetime of the building and can be salvaged for use in
other applications.
Limestone Cladding:

Limestone is extracted and fabricated in a manner very similar to that of granite. Due to differences in
geologic properties, however, techniques vary in the quarrying.
Steel is the metal most recommended by stone fabricators in order to avoid corrosion. Anchors
include straps, dovetails, rods, and variations of these devices. An assortment of bolts and screws are
available from manufacturers.

Wooden Cladding
Wooden cladding is an exterior finishing technique that involves putting wooden materials to
cover the surface of the wall. It is widely used on the Interiors and Exteriors and has a good
resistance to extreme weather conditions. It is generally used to give a natural cozy look to the
house with an added traditional style. It requires timely maintenance. Many different types of
trees are used for cladding such as oak, cedar, elm and sweet chestnut.
Styles of Wood cladding

Process
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:

● Easily accessible and reasonably priced.


● Simpler to work with, hence reduces time and cost.
● Can be easily fixed/replaced.

Disadvantages:

● Biodegradable, hence requires more maintenance.


● Requires proper treatment if being exposed to natural elements.
● Rot may cause pieces to chip off and fall.
Metal Cladding
Metal Cladding is a type of cladding that is used for structural or aesthetic purposes on
the walls of buildings. It typically forms a metal outer layer which is fitted onto a
frame-like core which is usually a different metal.
Types of Metal Cladding
1. Aluminium:

Aluminium is a light-weight strong metal which has high malleability and


ductility which makes it a very durable and easy to use cladding material. It
requires minimal maintenance and is highly durable to weather and natural
elements.
2. Zinc:

Zinc is also a soft and highly malleable metal which is durable and requires very
little maintenance. It is resistant to oxidation and can thus achieve large lifespans
without rusting. It is more sustainable as it is recyclable and requires less energy to
produce.
3. Copper:

Copper has it’s own characteristic warm bronze tones and develops a nice
character with age due to weathering. It also has a long lifespan and requires very
little maintenance.
4. Corten Steel:

Corten steel is a copper-chromium alloy which is highly weather resistant.


5. Corrugated steel:

Corrugated steel is yet another metal that is highly durable and lightweight. It
adds depth and texture to a facade which makes it a desirable material for urban
and residential designs.
STUCCO WALL FINISHING
It is made from cement, sand,and lime and hardens into a highly durable material that requires little
maintenance.Like traditional decorative plaster,stucco can be troweled, brushed,or otherwise textured to create a
variety of finishing effects. Stucco typically is applied over a galvanised wire mesh called lath,which helps the
stucco adhere to the supporting and strengthens the entire assembly.

It was traditionally used as both an interior and exterior finish applied in one or two thin layers directly over a solid
masonry,brick,or stone surface.
three coat stucco is applied in three layers: 3/8-inch thick scratch coat, 3/8-inch thick brown coat, and
approximate 1/8-inch thick finish coat
Mixing of stucco
Traditionally, stucco is mixed on site using bulk materials. The trick to creating your own stucco mix is getting
every batch exactly the same.A basic stucco mix consists of

Three part sand


One part portland cement
Hydrated lime to 10% of the cement by volume
Water

The slower stucco dries,the stronger it becomes. In sunny and hot location, stucco must be shaded to prevent the
dehydration of the stucco mix. When using pre-mixed stucco, it’s best to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Never apply stucco if the weather temperature is lower than 40.F

Coloured stucco
Stucco can be mix with pigment to create a range of colour, or it can be used without pigment and simply bear the
naturally gray of its cement .Some contractors tend to use warm colors, such as yellow, pink,or orange but beige
and white are perhaps the most common colors used for stucco.
Stucco can be painted , but it must cure for at least six weeks prior to painting.
Different types of stucco wall finishing

1. Dash Finish (Roughcast Style)


2. Cat Face Finish (Known Also as Montalvo or California)
3. Sand finish (A Style that floats)
4 .Spanish Lace Finish (Grace and Elegance)
5. Santa Barbara finish (soft and Soothing)
6. Worm Finish (Get Your Groove on)
Advantages of stucco wall finishing
1. Durability -Stucco is resistant to fire ,mold and termite infestation. Contingent upon neighborhood
atmosphere conditions, the finish on stucco homes can keep going up to 100 years

2. Sustainability- The elements for stucco finishes effectively acquired from nearby sustainable source .

3.Sound resistance- it can decrease the sound transmission. This is one of the significant advantage to
anybody living in a packed neighborhood or opposite a road trade.

4.Color retention- The long lasting pigment blended in stucco finishes will wipe out the ned to repaint at
regular intervals

Disadvantage of stucco wall finishing


However, if a stucco exterior is poorly installed or not properly maintained, several serious problems can
occur. Improper application of the material almost always leads to water damage, as well as mold, cracking,
and staining. When excess moisture and water retention are a problem, mold is always a concern
