To Coat or Not To Coat: A question on porosity and coating in building material

Abstract: Building material has been one of the aspects in architecture that directly relate with the overall building performance. Nowadays, porous traditional building material, such as bricks, stones, concrete, is still preferred due to its performance of porosity that supports passive cooling and reduces the building’s energy consumption. However, the porosity of building material could also cause many problems, such as damp, fungal and moss growth, that could cause deterioration of the building leading to the pract… Show more

“…Bio-based coatings are promising materials to prevent building materials from fungal, damp and keep their durability [3]. A number of coating materials have been reported to reduce water absorption of different building materials such as wood [4,5,6] and natural fibres [7,8,9,10].…”
