    This document discusses different types of finishing materials used in construction including glass, concrete, metals, wood, wallpaper, plastics, and paints. Glass finishing materials are used for exterior finishes of public buildings due to their durability and range of colors. Decorative concrete and mortar materials create texture and use colored cements and stones. Metals like copper, stainless steel and titanium are used for unique structures but are costly. Wood materials provide an excellent appearance and longevity through treatments. Wallpaper is widely used for interior finishes. Plastics offer various colors and shapes but have a shorter lifespan than other materials. Paints and varnishes are mainly used for painting and improve protective and decorative properties of structures.

    GLASS FINISHING MATERIALS

    which have a wide range of colors, excellent service qualities, and durability, are used mainly for the
    exterior finishing of public buildings and structures

    DECORATIVE CONCRETES AND MORTARS FINISHING MATERIALS

    The decorative effect of these materials results from the use of colored cements and fillers produced by
    crushing various kinds of natural stones and by texturing the front surfaces of products. Decorative
    concretes and mortars are used extensively in the factory finishing of structural members for fully
    prefabricated buildings; the use of decorative mortar mixtures for the exterior and interior finishing
    (plastering) during construction is limited, since the operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
    Walls are usually finished with large sheets of thistle board over plaster board or asbestos cement.
    Asbestos cement is also used for finishing the guardrails of balconies and staircases.

    METALS FINISHING MATERIALS

    Although metals have excellent finishing and decorative characteristics, they are used in modern
    construction mainly for finishing unique buildings and structures because of their considerable cost.
    Sheets and shaped products made of copper and its alloys, stainless steel, and titanium are used as
    finishing materials; aluminum alloys, including those with a colored (anodized) surface, are particularly
    promising. In mass construction, metals are used mainly in the form of small items (accessories) for
    finishing the entrances and interiors of buildings.

    STAINLESS STEEL TITANIUM

    WOOD FINISHING MATERIALS

    Wood finishing materials are notable for their excellent appearance and service qualities. Facing products
    are produced not only from decorative natural woods, such as oak, beech, and walnut, but also from
    carefully processed common species, such as birch and pine. The service life of wood finishing materials
    is increased by treating them with wood preservatives and by applying paint and varnish coatings.

    WALLPAPER FINISHING MATERIALS

    Wallpapers of various types are widely used for interior finishing (mainly in residences); they have the
    advantages of low cost and labor requirements.

    PLASTICS FINISHING MATERIALS

    Plastics are a promising type of finishing material. They are characterized by a broad range of colors, a
    variety of product shapes, excellent sanitary and hygenic qualities, and good corrosion resistance.
    However, their service life is substantially shorter than, for example, ceramic or glass finishing materials;
    therefore, they are used infrequently for exterior facings (mainly for small structures). Materials used for
    interior finishing include decorative polymeric films on a paper or fabric base, plastic sheets, washable
    wallpaper, Lincrust, decorative laminated-paper plastic, colored polyvinyl chloride laths combined into
    screens, and railings, plinths, and finish casings. The use of finishing materials made of plastics (linoleum,
    tiles, and synthetic napped materials) for floor coverings is particularly promising.

    LINCRUST LINOLEUM
    PAINT AND VARNISH FINISHING MATERIALS

    Paint and varnish finishing materials are intended mainly for painting operations. Synthetic paints and
    varnishes have become widespread in modern construction; they make possible a substantial reduction in
    the labor-intensiveness of finishing operations and an improvement in the protective and decorative
    properties of structures.
