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.
• exterior finish consists mainly of the coverings of the rough walls, and
installing doors and windows with trim and hardware .
• Wall finishes provide a decorative skin to conceal building
components including structural members, insulation, ductwork,
pipes, and wires.
• Good wall finishes are plumb and straight. Surfaces may be smooth or
textured and better wall finishes are durable
• There are various performance categories to consider
when selecting appropriate wall finishes for the finish
layer such as water resistance, moisture resistance,
abrasion resistance and tolerance to regular cleaning
processes.

The thickness of plywood sheets is also largely standardized and
measured in mm (millimetres).

grades of plywood

Advantages
* Most of the natural stones are highly porous and absorb the
stain marks very easily. Such natural materials have to be sealed
properly and resins must be used to close all the pores of the
stone.
* Some stones are soft , brittle and very susceptible to chipping,
developing cracks and breaking. Stones like Italian marble , onyx
and travertine develop cracks very easily.
TERRACOTTA CLADDING
Terracotta cladding is a 100%
natural material composed of
clay, made using fire and water.
Terracotta cladding is used to
create striking facade designs in
combination with other materials
like glass, stone surfaces, paint
etc. It is an alternate to exposed
brick masonry which is widely
used for the exteriors of the
building. The exposed brick
masonry might look very untidy,
rough, and rugged with unclean
lines. Terracotta cladding can give
the look of exposed bricks with a
