Facade Painting and CoatingLaajuus (4 ECTS)

Objective

The student is expected to know the structures and materials of modern facades, stress and exposure factors affecting facade surfaces and properties, and paints and materials used in facades.
The student is expected to be able to select a coating taking into account the stresses from a substrate structure and atmospheric exposure, prepare a coating specification, calculate the need of materials, work and time, calculate the costs and analyze the properties of the coatings.
