2. Exterior insulation finishing system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_insulation...

   Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. EIFS has been in use since the 1960s in North America and was first used on masonry buildings.

3. Wood–plastic composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood–plastic_composite

   WPCs do not corrode and are highly resistant to rot, decay, and marine borer attack, though they do absorb water into the wood fibers embedded within the material. [14] Water absorption is more pronounced in WFCs with a hydrophilic matrix such as PLA and also leads to decreased mechanical stiffness and strength. [ 15 ]

4. Insulative paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulative_paint

   An example of this would be an exterior wall of a building to which an "insulative" or "insulating" paint has been applied. Solar induced heat (direct sunlight) is reflected from the surface as well as heat (winter months) that is migrating through the wall outward toward the colder outside air.

5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

   Vapor retarder paints (for the air-tight drywall system, for retrofits where finished walls and ceilings will not be replaced, or for dry basements: can break down over time due to being chemically based). Extruded polystyrene or foil-faced foam board insulation. Exterior grade plywood, 0.70 US perm (40 SI perm).

6. Whitewash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash

   Whitewash, calcimine, kalsomine, calsomine, asbestis or lime paint is a type of paint made from slaked lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2) or chalk (calcium carbonate, CaCO 3), sometimes known as "whiting". Various other additives are sometimes used.

7. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

   A water-based primer, used primarily on wood. A primer (/ ˈ p r aɪ m ər /) or undercoat is a preparatory coating put on materials before painting.Priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection for the material being painted.
