Repainting existing EIFS can be rewarding or traumatic. Learningabout the different systems - and properly accommodating their design - will pay off for savvy contractors.

The authors explain mid-study, energy performance data compiled during field research on air barrier systems. For example, while the systems are proving effective at decreasing uncontrolled air ventilation, there is anincreased risk of moisture accumulation.

Moisture-intrusion is the leading cause of paint problems on CMU. While the signs may be readily apparent,the causes of moisture may not. Here, the authors provide a variety of methods for determining, and correcting, the sources of moisture intrusion.

Elastomeric acrylics are often thought of as an “all-purpose” class when it comes to selecting coatings for use on roofs, concrete, and masonry. But do they really deserve the reputation? This article examines specific properties of elastomeric acrylics to explain the science behind the hype.

A garden of rust had bloomed across the peaks and valleys of the manufacturing facility’s metal roof. Would the coatings team be able to repair the corrosion and stop the leaks before Mother Nature and the site’s Lake Erie location conspired against them?

Touchups happen. Correctly matching touchups with the original coating can be a challenge. Jenkins provides several tips - from pigment chemistry to the physics of proper scaffold placement - to help avoid mismatched paint and “polka dotted walls.”

The author describes a field and laboratory investigation of a premature failure of a fluoropolymer coating system on a galvanized steel roof. Both the failure and the solution provide lessons in chemistry and physics.
