Summary
AS WITH MOST OTHER MATERIALS, masonry substrates are painted for one or both of two basic reasons: to change appearance or to improve performance in the relevant service environment. Imparting or changing color and increasing surface brightness are two important parts of the decorative function. In some cases coatings are applied to improve the appearance of the masonry substrate by masking defects or repair work. Although, in general, masonry materials do not need protection, per se, coatings can reduce attack in highly acidic atmospheres or salt water immersions. In most cases coatings help the masonry to protect the interior of the structure from penetration of moisture.
