Exercise 7A- Finishes (Ceilings & Walls) Specifications

Part 1: General

1. Metal furring as required for plaster walls and ceilings.

2. Furnish all materials, labor, equipment, plant, tools, required to complete

all plain cement plaster finish.

3. Works should comply with applicable local and international standards

referring:

a. ASTM C150 – “Portland Cement”

b. ASTM C144 – “Sand for Cement Plaster Work”

c. ASTM C631 – “Bonding Compounds for Interior Plastering”

4. Materials should be delivered to the site in original unopened packages,

bundles, or containers.

5. Protect materials against dampness during shipment and after delivery.

Store materials under cover in a well-ventilated environment and avoid

storing them in anywhere near construction areas.

6. The contractor shall submit to the Engineer names of the manufacturers

and their products which will be used. Approval of the manufacturers and

products must be obtained before proceeding with the related work.

7. Epoxy paints should be used in corridors, high-traffic areas, unclean areas,

PLASTER

1. 3 (three) coat cement plaster with smooth finish coat to receive paint and

wallpaper. 2 (two) coat cement plaster with smooth finish coat to receive

fluted wood panel.

2. Provide adequate heat and ventilation in locations where this section's

work is being performed so that the cement plaster can cure properly.

Take the appropriate precautions to prevent extreme temperature

fluctuations.

CEILING

1. Do not install a wood ceiling until all wet construction work is completed

and the moisture content of the ambient air in the installation room has been

stabilized.

2. Provide heat, light, and ventilation prior to installation.

3. Maintain room temperature and relative humidity according to the glue

manufacturer's guidelines for two days before material delivery, during

installation, and after.

4. Ceilings must be freely accessible for maintenance and other needs,

including technology installations. To reduce maintenance and repair

expenses, buildings should employ a consistent ceiling tile, tile size, and

suspension method. The only exclusions are unique feature or specialized

function areas that do not require accessibility.

5. Furring channels minimum thickness should be 0.4mm.

6. The Architect shall only recommend finishes that require minimal

maintenance and are easy to maintain.

PAINT

1. Before applying paint, finish one whole surface of each color scheme,

clearly displaying the selected colors, final texture, materials, and

workmanship.

2. Approved sample area will serve as a minimum standard for work

throughout building.

3. Prepare 500mm x 200mm samples of finishes when requested by the

Architect and apply finishes on identical type materials to which they will be

applied on job.

4. Identify each sample as to finish, formula, color name and number, and

sheen name and gloss units.

5. Containers to be tightly sealed and clearly labeled for identification.

6. Take precautionary measures to prevent fire hazards and spontaneous

combustion.

Part 3: Execution

CEILING

1. Install ceiling furring when the above-ceiling work is completed.

Coordinate the location of hangers with other work.

2. Securely attach carrying channels to hangers to prevent them from

turning or twisting and to develop the full strength of the hangers.

3. Furring channels should be placed 600mm apart, perpendicular to

carrying channels, and no more than 50mm from the perimeter walls.

Strictly adhere to carrying channels.

WALLS

1. Plaster

a. Dust, laitance, efflorescence, loose particles, grease, and other

foreign matter should be removed from the surface of concrete and

concrete blocks. To clean, thoroughly moisten the surfaces and

apply acid solutions, solvents, or detergent.

b. Apply a bonding agent on concrete and concrete block surfaces

which are to receive cement plaster. Apply in accordance with the

manufacture’s recommendations, ensuring complete coverage.

c. Apply cement plaster using two coat system and three coat system

respectively as indicated.

d. Allow each coat to cure for minimum of 3 (three) days before

applying the next coat.

e. Apply a layer adequate to secure the required texture, but no less

than 5mm. Apply final coat according to the requirements.

Exercise 7A- Finishes (Ceilings & Walls) Specifications

f. Provide surfaces receiving paint with a steel trowel finish, to match

approved sample pane.

g. Moist cure finish coat for minimum period of 48 hours.

2. Panels

a. Clean surfaces of dust, laitance, efflorescence, loose particles,

grease and other foreign matter that may affect the effectiveness of

the bonding agent used to attach the panels.

b. Measure and mark the surface where the panels will be attached

and cut the panels according to the planned sections in order to

make a consistent and uniform sections.

c. Sand or roughen the walls a little in order for the adhesive to

perform and have better strength in handling the panels.

d. Apply the panels onto the marked wall and ensure that the panels

are straight.

3. Wallpapers

a. Installers must have at least 3 years of expertise with wall

coverings similar to the project's size and complexity.

b. Thoroughly clean and smoothen the surface where the wallpapers

will be applied in order for the adhesive to attach properly.

c. Carefully plan and section the surface to have a consistent cut of

the wallpaper in order to have a smoother transition and avoid

uneven and weird looking border.

d. Attach the wallpapers carefully without bubbles and border sticking

out.
