Study Notes
Building Materials
- All physical substances used to create building interiors and exteriors
- Materials are evaluated for compatibility with climate, culture, and aesthetics
- Material selection considers occupancy levels and size (especially for buildings with large occupancy like theaters)
- Safety, durability, and fire resistance are significant concerns for building materials selection
- Environmental impact of obtaining, processing, fabricating, transporting, and recycling building materials is important
Concrete Finishes
- Troweled: Most common, smoothed and leveled
- Mechanized trowel: used for large commercial projects
- Broom finish: rough textured surface created by dragging a broom
- Stamped finish: patterns pressed into fresh concrete
- Salt finish: coarse rock salt crystals placed on concrete then washed away
- Exposed aggregate finish: Concrete with exposed aggregate. Aggregate is distributed evenly. Minimal voids.
