Prevention of premature staining of new buildings - Phil Parnham

The appearance of ugly staining early in a buildings life, ruins an otherwise pleasing appearance, tarnishes the image of the owners and gives rise to costly refurbishment works. In this book Phil Parnham raises a number of questions that should be considered whenever a new building is being designed or built. These are:
* why has staining become so
prominent;
* what causes premature staining; which parts of new buildings are likely to be affected;
* how can it
be avoided?
By using a number of highly illustrated case
studies, the author answers these questions and ends by
suggesting measures that should be taken by all design and construction professionals to prevent premature staining.
