Document Summary
Upon completion of the structure, suitable finishes are required to the internal surfaces of the house. Surfaces requiring special finishes are the following: Suitable finishes for these surfaces are dependent on specific functional requirements, which are determined by the surface being considered and its location. Resistance to abrasion damage may be caused by objects rubbing against the surface. Resistance to water or other liquids damage may be caused if the surface finish is not waterproof in areas where water or other liquids may be frequently used. Resistance to impact damage may be caused by objects banging into the surface finish. This may cause cracking to fragile or brittle finishes. Resistance to sunlight ultraviolet degradation causing embrittlement of some materials or fading of colours in other materials. Resistance to moulds and fungi mould growth may be a problem on finishes where humidity is high and ventilation is poor allowing surface condensation to develop.
