Some polymers were added in to pre-mix form of cement, lime and sand to create more water resistance, adhesion and flexibility. It can be used in wide-range of surfaces like cement blocks, AAC concrete panels and concrete. They can also be used in smooth surfaces like high-tech exterior cladding; expanded polystyrene and cement sheeting.

Roof paint which can deliver reflectance on the higher level by reflecting Ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, reduce thermal remittance and reduce heat transfer of the building are known as cool roofs. It also reduces green house emission, reduce air pollution and reduce cooling energy load. But proper maintenance is required or it may diminish the intensity on the roof paint. ...
... It’s complementary like the white paints used on roof-tops.

Most of the roofs are dark-colored and it increases temperature when summer peaks. This created more effect on environment and cooling energy usage. The main advantage are reducing the heat-gain by reflecting the solar rays; save 15-20% of air-condition energy; life of roof-tops extended; improved energy efficiency and improved thermal comfort and reduce pollution and emission.

Roof paints reflects more sunlight and absorb less heat into the system. Albedo, a substance allows reflecting more sunlight and ability to absorb heat is known as thermal emittance. It’s calculated on a decimal fraction between 0 & 1. Cool roof’s are of various types and used in various countries.

Texture coating is used to hide unevenness, create wrinkles, grits and stone finish etc and done by high-skilled painters. It provide more resistance to alkaline, U.V Radiation, and repellent to various pest. It clears the hair-line cracks and also repels water bodies too.

Texture provide fine finish, construction gets strong, reliable in terms of performance and give longer service. Apart from that it enhances the beauty of the wall and hides the imperfection on the wall.

Under specified condition the object remain unaffected from water is called water-proofing. It can be used in under-water or in wet-environment. It refers to the penetration of liquid into the object. The building used water-repellent coating to ward off moisture from the walls. The underneath contents and structural integrity too is protected. Construction waterproofing is also known as weatherization.
