  One in a series aimed at students preparing for the examinations of the RIBA, RiCS, IQS, IOB, the Ordinary and Higher National Certificates and the City and Guilds of London Institute courses in building, this volume considers the performance requirements for Finishes for buildings and the effectiveness of typical solutions. All quantities are expressed in SI units and there are tables giving imperial conversions. Also included are the main CI/SfB classifications with cross references to the relevant volumes and chapters in the series. This series of text books has been rewritten to bring it in line with rapid technical developments in building and consequent revision of syllabuses. It should be a useful reference source for practising architects, surveyors and engineers.

  The fourth edition of this well established text brings the subject up-to-date with environmental legislation and provides a thorough understanding of the surface technologies of all materials used for finishes. It also aims to minimise the use of finishes which have shorter lives and hence need renewing more frequently. As the variety of materials used for finishes is so large, they have been grouped into their engineering categories of ceramics, polymers, metals and composites to aid understanding of their structure, behaviour and ability to resist degradation.
  
  Finishes is an essential textbook for Materials units on building, architecture, surveying and related degree and postgraduate courses, and for students of BTEC HNC/D building and surveying.
