INTRODUCTION

 Finishing is to apply decoration to the
internal or external perimeter of rooms and
spaces such as wall, floor, and ceilings.

 It is running at the end of construction
activity and it needs a good skill in doing
this job to make sure it is in a good
performance.

 Building finishes including internal and
external finishes and consists of ceiling
finishes, wall finishes and floor finishes.

INTRODUCTION

 Function of building finishes is:

➢ To reduce the amount of light penetration
➢ For decoration and nice arrangement.
➢ To provide a flat and smooth surface
➢ To protect slab and concrete
➢ To make sure the construction building is high in

quality.

FLOOR FINISHES

 Floor finishes are provide to improve the appearance,
cleanliness, noiselessness and damp proofing of the floors.

 There are various types of materials used for floor finishes such
as cement render, tile, marble, mosaic, painting and many more.

 All types of floor finishes are measured in square meter and an
area that is measured is in contact with the base (S.2.2).

 Area is measured between the face of the wall and including the
width of the bottom of the door finishes (S.1.8) as shown in the
figure below.

finishing at the bottom of the door are wall
included in floor finishes

 Finishes at drop, between two different floor levels as
shown below, is measured separately. It measured the same as
finishes the curb and fillets, in linear meters and height stated.

Floor level

Finishes at the drop is
measured separately

SCREEDING

 Screeding by definition means the proper leveling of the
materials that are placed on the floors or even on the walls in
any type of construction work which may include plastering or
even concrete work.

 Every material used in creating the wall or the floors require a
proper leveling to reflect the beauty of the design and the
material.

 Floor screeding has various types of which the most commonly
used is cement and sand screed or concrete screed.

 Screeded layer has a very rough surface, is made by scratching
the surface of the plaster layer to create a grip on
finishes installed on it.

 This underlay is suitable or in situ finishes or hard finishes that
is installed using mortar.

 Floated layer was prepared with wood trowel and has rough
surface, suitable for hard finishes fitted with adhesive. While
trowelled layer was prepared with steel

cement and sand screed or concrete screed.
- rough surface
