With the help of Sarah. I wanted to see how the scrib would look with plaster. I imagined the pattern would still be visible and hold its shape.
It wasn't as clear as I thought it would be but it was an interesting experiment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Photos of the end result with a black background and artificial light in the photograph room. The white and bright orange scrib with plaster on some gave a different effect that what I was expecting, I expected the plaster to hold the shape better and let more light through.
Experimenting with builders scrib and plaster I learned how the plaster interacted with scrib.
I noticed that in some places it held it texture of squares and you could see through the scrib.
In other places it covered it up completely.
Also the scrib was flexible and when the plastic was added it broke or came off in places.
Interested to know how they interacted with each other.

Importance of Hiring The Right Commercial Roofing Contractor in Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach, FL
Every property requires a study roof on top, regardless of the purpose it is used for. Sure, a homeowner may take a long time to pick and choose the right roofing materials and go for the most affordable one, but the commercial building owner is likely to think differently. The building owners should consider installing the commercial TPO roofing in Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach, FL. This is a material that is held in high esteem today.
There is no secret reason for selecting the TPO roofing, though. The end-user is pleased to check the facts and receive assurance on multiple fronts. It is essential to know that TPO, an acronym for thermoplastic olefin, is resistant to UV damage and the ill effects of weather. It is interesting to learn that the material consists of three distinct layers: the TPO polymer base, the polyester-reinforced scrim, and the TPO compounded top ply. It is also heartening to know that this material is one of the top environment-friendly roofing materials ever.
This roofing material has grabbed the attention of commercial property builders and developers because it comes with multiple advantages. The best gains that convince the commercial property builder or investor include the following:
· Flexibility- TPO is a flexible material that can be used ideally on various roofs that experience setting and movement. While it is the chosen material for commercial projects, the user may also install it on residential buildings
· Zero Leaks- One should not be scared about the roof leaking once the roofing material is installed perfectly. The hot air welding makes the seams come together amazingly, eliminating all risks of leaks. Moreover, repairs are easy even when an untoward incident happens, causing the seams to part.
· Simple to Install- The commercial property does not have to shut down for days at a time when the roof is being installed. The TPO roofing is available as sheets, making it incredibly easy to install. The time taken to complete the installation is much less than that of traditional materials and even PVC.
· Energy Efficient- The TPO roof reflects heat, thus ensuring cooling during those hot & humid summers. Moreover, they are energy efficient, enabling users to lower their utility bills substantially. The UV Rays are thwarted successfully by the roofing material that prevents the entry of ozone and harmful chemicals.
· Aesthetics- The commercial establishment does not have to settle for a mundane-looking roof courtesy of the TPO. On the contrary, the property developer can create an aesthetically appealing roof by playing with black, white, and grey shades.
· Affordable- Most commercial projects have the developers cutting corners to enhance profitability. Providing inferior-quality roofing material is not required when one goes for TPO. This is surprisingly cost-effective, apart from being both fire and puncture-resistant. The low maintenance makes it an ideal roofing material in comparison to PVC
It is imperative to engage a well-known commercial roofing contractor in Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach, FL, to ensure the perfect completion of a new roofing project or necessary repairs.

Types of Flooring Protection Papers
Flooring protection paper rolls can be used for a wide range of applications. There is no right or wrong way to use these products, however, at Quick Pak, flooring protection paper is a staple in the surface protection industry. Flooring paper provides temporary surface protection for hard surfaces, including hardwood floors, laminate flooring, and carpet, during construction jobs, paint applications, and remodeling projects. It can be rolled out and taped down quickly to protect all types of flooring from foot traffic, scratches, dust, dirt, and spills.
Where is flooring protection paper used?
Although primarily used to protect floors, flooring paper can be used on other surfaces during construction projects for total job site protection. Surface protection paper is great for covering countertops, bathtubs, windows, and even stairs. No matter the surface type, flooring paper can provide construction floor protection.
Not all flooring papers are created equal. Although similar, there are different options that have specific applications and should be used accordingly.
 1. Red Rosin Paper
The tried-and-true option. Red rosin paper has been in the construction and paint industry for decades. Rosin paper is a great surface protection paper and can be used on all types of surfaces to protect from minor spills and light foot traffic. In addition, Red Rosin paper can be used as a moisture barrier for flooring and roofing projects. Made from 100% recycled materials, red rosin paper does contain dye. Use caution on light-colored and delicate surfaces. Bleeding of color may occur when wet, so we recommend testing before use.
2. Builder’s Paper
Another staple in the construction and painting industry, Builder’s Paper is a step above Red Rosin, making it a great alternative. Brown kraft construction paper protects floors, stairs, cabinets, countertops, and more. Made from 100% recycled materials, Quick Pak’s Kraft Paper is an economical surface protector that can withstand foot traffic and light paint spills.
3. Kraft Reinforced Paper
The most durable and heavy-duty option. Reinforced kraft paper is twice as thick as builder’s paper and is designed with nylon scrim reinforcement making it durable enough for heavy foot traffic. In addition, Quick Pak’s Water Guard is water resistant, reducing the time spent replacing floor paper when spills happen. Tear-resistant flooring paper is great for protecting hardwood, marble surfaces, travertine, and ceramic tile.
Protection paper is necessary for any construction, painting, or remodeling project. Depending on the needs of your job and the work you will be doing on your surface will determine which paper is best. Still, need help deciding? Call 813 242 6995 or [email protected]

Air Rights
The French Church---         never much on looks, red brick leaning                  in the direction of Romanesque---
settled into modest circumstances         how many decades on West 16th?                  Nothing divine in the details,
veneer peeling from doors never         meant for here, never open. No light,                  evenings, through colored glass,
though by day you could discern,         twenty feet above the sidewalk,                 Christ stepping onto the waters of Galilee,
sea and savior oiled by exhaust,         nearly indistinguishable. Weeknights,                  downstairs, a dozen groups renounced
at length crystal or alcohol, skin or smoke,         and what each circle resisted glowed                  at the center of their ring of chairs,
nearly visible; there you could consecrate         relinquishment, or find someone already ruined                  to pursue whatever made you, for the night,
unsinkable. The rent, collected each time         they passed the hat, kept the church afloat.                  Of the congregation eight souls remained,
Haitian evangelicals. Only once         I saw someone mount the stairs                  toward those slapdash doors
---who could have missed her?         Under a plane tree clearly considering                  giving up all ambition, an idling towncar’s
rear door opened, she stepped out,         and I knew at once that if she’d ever                  been thwarted, she simply summoned
more of some alloy of metal and will         she drew up from beneath the pavement,                  maybe from Haiti itself, from generations
that stood unbending in her.         In her green hat, in the forgiving archways                  of her dress, her capacious black purse,
she conquered the stairs, and raised her hand         to open the door. Just once.                  The meeting schedule disappeared
from the basement entry’s wire-gridded glass,         the rooms stayed dark, addicts no longer                  smoking and talking under the miserable tree.
Twilights, before they were gone, I’d walk         through a climate so thick I could almost taste it,                  meet the gaze of men whose eyes locked
into mine. Was this the night they knew         was coming, the night they’d fall?                  I recognized them, I wanted
to put my hand into the wound         at their sides, that we might be real                  to one another. A barrier went up
around the entry, papered with signs         and permits, and an ‘artist’s rendering’                  ---fourteen stories clad in bluestone,
suspended above the somehow         freshened brick of the church.                  A flyer in our vestibule said they’d sold
the space between their sanctuary         and heaven for a cool eight million,                  and units in what would be
the highest stepped-back Nineveh tower         on our block: raise the faithful high,                  plunge the neighbors into shadow.
Lord thou preparest a banquet for me...         Workers boxed the plane tree’s trunk                  in a cage of 2 x 4s, heavy equipment scooped
a new foundation, hammered the pilings in.         How do they stand it, in Cairo or Rome,                  when any shaft in sand reaches down
five thousand years? Bad enough in New York:         artifacts of quarantine and revolt,                  bullets that did or didn’t strike rioters,
squatters or immigrants, Irish or black.         Cemetery slabs etched with the hex                  of David’s star. Oyster middens,
pipe-stems, crockery stamped with eagles         and shields. And in the Historical Society,                  dug from a site like this one,
an object I can’t forget,         nightmare thing, its plutonium half-life                  still ticking: brass shackles,
superbly made, locked into place         by a brass bar, sized to fit                  the wrists of a child.
That sign the angel placed outside         of Eden, forbidding re-entry?                  No arrow, but these joined zeroes
fetched up out of the mud,         their poison seeping into                  the groundwater. The backhoe clawed,
rebar spiked its way up, and some days         traffic stopped while the concrete mixer’s                  rotating drum poured into place more
of the solid substance of our block.         The city stopped work more than once.                  I saw, where they’d poured the footing
a little short, workers float a three-inch layer         along the top of the foundation: sure to crack,                  maybe one day bring the whole thing down?
Though walking home, after hours,         late winter, I found towering at midnight’s center                  a vertical representation of heaven,
nine episodes of the exaltations of light:         builders’ lamps diffused by silver ceiling joists,                  filtered through layers of tarps,
an unfinished model of the spirit’s progress,         a pilgrim ladder. Where did it lead?                  Each story occupied a rectangle
of what once was formless,         unglazed windows opening                  on a flecked and spattered galactic swirl...
Up there above the streets,         might not desire be articulated,                  spoken till seen through?
Half-finished, swathed in black netting,         translucent scrims veiling the lights                  left burning within, that building
would never be so beautiful again.         Thank you, Haitian evangelicals, for that.                  Now the Bradford pears open
dusty blooms against a scaffolding         crowning the new Barney’s down the block,                  and black girders sketch out more floors
above a French Church caged         in spars of steel, wave-walking Jesus                  shadowed by the bristling supports
of a terrace just above. Do the faithful         look up toward a future in a world of light,                  more square feet? More power to them;
who doesn’t want a privacy to fill with memory         or anticipation, room for the self                  to billow out in dreaming?
The shadow pooling the street’s grown cooler,         gained in depth. Sometimes I walk                  a city block and notice everyone’s
looking at a screen, or talking to someone         who’s somewhere else, so that here seems                  to thin out, dispersed and characterless.
I miss the addicts. I’ve done time         in that school of longing and resistance,                  a sometime citizen of the knot
I threaded nights on my way to anywhere,         under what the builders have chopped                  to a lame, broken arm of a tree.
Nearly everything we said beneath it         concerned our endless desires,                  the thing that doth shine and so torment us,
our coins passed from hand to hand until         their inscriptions all but wore away.                  Those old longings---at least we said them
to each other. We are of interest to one another,         are we not? The evangelical woman,                  in her superb hat, will she look down
from that glassy paradise and find me         of interest, or the men and women who unroll                  blankets over flattened cardboard
under Barney’s stainless awning,         its steel-cloud sheen? They sleep and dream                  before a chamber gleaming with refusal
all night, inviting no one in,         sealed plate glass displaying                  ---ready?---necklaces, shown on featureless,
streamlined busts, under relentless halogen,         to foreground shine. Ten feet away, tulips                  fenced in iron spear-tips wrap
wings around their furnace flames, heat         drawn up from the center of the earth;                  a strength never bridled yet,
even the mutilated tree aura’d         in a froth of green. No intention                  to quit, none whatsoever.
The new tower’s blank surface         offers fewer chances to engage,                  an old church’s ramshackle intimacy
shrinks beneath what we all see coming:         a seamless façade interested only in itself,                  dwarfing the red brick it doesn’t crush
because---why should it? The air rights         are for sale. Fit yourself around whatever                   it is you want, pay them some fraction
---enormous, in their eyes, but nothing         to the unreal numbers you’ll accrue;                   build, and keep on display what you
swallowed to erect this chilly Babel tower         on my block. I’m all judgment, I know;                   the Congregation won’t regret the sale
of light and air, and those who sleep         on Seventh Avenue, their midnights raked                   by precious glitter
---on the space between their skulls                and the empyrean, no one puts a price.                   The new tower’s a glacial expanse.
The tulips ember in their spiky bed.         We dwell down here in shadow                   and in spring.
Mark Doty, The American Poetry Review (Vol. 49/No. 6, November/December 2020)

Furniture Upholstery Styles Definitions And Applications
New Post has been published on https://www.homeguide411.com/furniture-upholstery-styles-definitions-and-applications/
Furniture Upholstery Styles Definitions And Applications
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Image by/from Benjamin D. Esham (bdesham)
Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The word upholstery comes from the Middle English word upholder, which referred to an artisan who held up their goods. The term is equally applicable to domestic, automobile, airplane and boat furniture, and can be applied to mattresses, particularly the upper layers, though these often differ significantly in design. A person who works with upholstery is called an upholsterer. An apprentice upholsterer is sometimes called an outsider or trimmer. Traditional upholstery uses materials like coil springs (post-1850), animal hair (horse, hog and cow), coir, straw and hay, hessians, linen scrims, wadding, etc., and is done by hand, building each layer up. In contrast, today’s upholsterers employ synthetic materials like dacron and vinyl, serpentine springs, and so on.
Upholder is an archaic term used for “upholsterer”, but it appears to have a connotation of repairing furniture rather than creating new upholstered pieces from scratch (cobbler vs. cordwainer).
In 18th-century London, upholders frequently served as interior decorators responsible for all aspects of a room’s decor. These individuals were members of the Worshipful Company of Upholders, whose traditional role, prior to the 18th century, was to provide upholstery and textiles and the fittings for funerals. In the great London furniture-making partnerships of the 18th century, a cabinet-maker usually paired with an upholder: Vile and Cobb, Ince and Mayhew, Chippendale and Rannie or Haig.
In the US, Grand Rapids, Michigan and Hickory, North Carolina are centers for furniture manufacture along with Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire (England) and many of the best upholsterers can still be found there. Nottinghamshire is also home to Webs training Ltd, a furniture training company that specialises in training apprentices in the furniture manufacturing industry. These artisans continue to create or recreate many antique and modern pieces of furniture.
Furniture re-upholstery continues to thrive in the UK with several businesses small and large providing these services.
Traditional upholstery is a craft which evolved over centuries for padding and covering chairs, seats and sofas, before the development of sewing machines, synthetic fabrics and plastic foam. Using a solid wood or webbed platform, it can involve the use of springs, lashings, stuffings of animal hair, grasses and coir, wools, hessians, scrims, bridle ties, stuffing ties, blind stitching, top stitching, flocks and wadding all built up by hand.
In the Middle Ages, domestic interiors were becoming more comfortable and upholstery was playing an important part in interior decoration. The decorations consisted mainly of what we would now consider as “soft furnishings”, though there were simple platforms of webbing, canvas or leather for stools, chairs and elaborately decorated coverings that already demonstrated the rudimentary beginnings of upholstered furniture. By the beginning of the 17th century chair seats were being padded, but this form of upholstery was still fairly basic. All sorts of stuffings from sawdust, grass, feathers, to deer, goat or horsehair were used, although in England the Livery Company forbade the use of goat and deer hair and imposed fines for misdemeanors. The stuffing was heaped on a wooden platform and held in place with a decorative top fabric and nails. This produced a simple dome shape sloping towards the seat. Only towards the end of the 17th century did upholsterers start to develop the techniques that would distribute and shape the stuffing into more controlled shapes. Curled horsehair was being used more consistently for stuffing that was easier to hold in place with stitches in twine that were developed from saddlery techniques. Thus layers of stuffing could be distributed evenly and secured to stay in place. On a basic level, squab cushions were made more stable by using tufting ties. Stuffed edge rolls appeared on seat fronts providing support for cushions to be retained and later for deeper stuffing to be held in place under a fixed top cover.:p12
What we now think of as “classic” upholstery shapes and techniques flourished in the 18th century. Frames of elegant line and proportion were sympathetically matched by expertly executed upholstery. By now, the upholsterers’ technical knowledge meant that stuffing’s could be controlled along upright and sloping lines, giving new levels of comfort and a simply stated elegance. Later in the century, the border was replaced by a single piece of linen or scrim taken over the stuffed seat and tacked to the frame. At the same time the locked blind stitch and top-stitching combination (pulling the side and top surfaces together and bringing the stuffing up to make a firm top edge) had evolved.:p15
In the Victorian era, fashions of opulence and comfort gave rise to excesses of stuffing and padding. Mass production techniques made upholstered furniture available in large quantity to all sections of society. The availability of better-quality steel springs and the development of lashing techniques enabled upholstery to be built up on seats, backs and arms quite independently of the frame shape. Stuffings became even more complex, edges became elaborately shaped into rolls and scrolls and fabrics were folded into soft padded shapes by means of buttoning.:p12
An automotive upholsterer, also known as a trimmer, coach trimmer or motor trimmer, shares many of the skills required in upholstery, in addition to being able to work with carpet.
The term coach trimmer derives from the days when car frames were produced by manufacturers and delivered to coach builders to add a car body and interior trimmings. Trimmers would produce soft furnishings, carpets, soft tops, and roof linings often to order to customer specifications. Later, trim shops were often an in-house part of the production line as the production process was broken down into smaller parts manageable by semi-skilled labor.
Many automotive trimmers now work either in automotive design or with aftermarket trim shops carrying out repairs, restorations or conversions for customers directly. A few high-quality motor car manufacturers still employ trimmers, for example, Aston Martin.
This is the type of upholstery work offered to businesses. Examples would be restaurant seating consisting of booth seats, dining room chairs, bar stools, etc. Also churches, including but not limited to pews and chairs for the congregation, hospitals and clinics consisting of medical tables, chiropractic tables, dental chairs, etc. Also common to this type of upholstery would be lobby and waiting-area seating. Upholstered walls are found in some retail premises.
Upholsterers may be called upon to repair or replace seating, cushions, cabin furnishings, headliners and even carpeting on boats.
Marine upholstery differs in that one has to consider dampness, sunlight and hard usage. There are many sources for marine grade vinyls such as Spradling and Morbern and they come in hundreds of colors and styles now.
Each style of marine grade vinyl is rated according to cold crack, rub counts, and mold resistance. Stainless-steel hardware such as staples, screws must be used to prevent rust and early break down of hardware and fasteners. The newest products for fastening vinyl in marine applications are Tenara thread and Monel staples. Any wood used must be of marine quality.
Usually a high-resiliency, high-density plastic foam with a thin film of plastic over it is used to keep out water that might get by the seams. Closed-cell foam is used on smaller cushions which can, sometimes, double as flotation devices.

740 Park - Michael Gross
740 Park The Story of the World's Richest Apartment Building Michael Gross Genre: Sociology Price: $11.99 Publish Date: October 18, 2005 Publisher: Crown/Archetype Seller: Penguin Random House LLC For seventy-five years, it’s been Manhattan’s richest apartment building, and one of the most lusted-after addresses in the world. One apartment had 37 rooms, 14 bathrooms, 43 closets, 11 working fireplaces, a private elevator, and his-and-hers saunas; another at one time had a live-in service staff of 16. To this day, it is steeped in the purest luxury, the kind most of us could only imagine, until now. The last great building to go up along New York’s Gold Coast, construction on 740 Park finished in 1930. Since then, 740 has been home to an ever-evolving cadre of our wealthiest and most powerful families, some of America’s (and the world’s) oldest money—the kind attached to names like Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Bouvier, Chrysler, Niarchos, Houghton, and Harkness—and some whose names evoke the excesses of today’s monied elite: Kravis, Koch, Bronfman, Perelman, Steinberg, and Schwarzman. All along, the building has housed titans of industry, political power brokers, international royalty, fabulous scam-artists, and even the lowest scoundrels. The book begins with the tumultuous story of the building’s construction. Conceived in the bubbling financial, artistic, and social cauldron of 1920’s Manhattan, 740 Park rose to its dizzying heights as the stock market plunged in 1929—the building was in dire financial straits before the first apartments were sold. The builders include the architectural genius Rosario Candela, the scheming businessman James T. Lee (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s grandfather), and a raft of financiers, many of whom were little more than white-collar crooks and grand-scale hustlers. Once finished, 740 became a magnet for the richest, oldest families in the country: the Brewsters, descendents of the leader of the Plymouth Colony; the socially-registered Bordens, Hoppins, Scovilles, Thornes, and Schermerhorns; and top executives of the Chase Bank, American Express, and U.S. Rubber. Outside the walls of 740 Park, these were the people shaping America culturally and economically. Within those walls, they were indulging in all of the Seven Deadly Sins. As the social climate evolved throughout the last century, so did 740 Park: after World War II, the building’s rulers eased their more restrictive policies and began allowing Jews (though not to this day African Americans) to reside within their hallowed walls. Nowadays, it is full to bursting with new money, people whose fortunes, though freshly-made, are large enough to buy their way in. At its core this book is a social history of the American rich, and how the locus of power and influence has shifted haltingly from old bloodlines to new money. But it’s also much more than that: filled with meaty, startling, often tragic stories of the people who lived behind 740’s walls, the book gives us an unprecedented access to worlds of wealth, privilege, and extraordinary folly that are usually hidden behind a scrim of money and influence. This is, truly, how the other half—or at least the other one hundredth of one percent—lives. http://dlvr.it/R3D5cX

Atelier Dau adds kinetic bronze facade to Chimney House extension in Sydney
Architecture studio Atelier Dau has created an infill extension with a perforated bronze facade for the refurbishment of a heritage-listed building in Sydney.
Chimney House was designed by the Sydney-based studio as two interconnected volumes after the owners decided to extend the existing house to create a gallery-like interior for their art collection.
The original three-storey brick terrace house was given a rear extension and an interior renovation, and an infill building was added on the vacant plot next to the house.
This holds a garage and a self-contained apartment hidden behind its perforated bronze facade with hinged panels that can open and close like shutters.
Only the facade and two front rooms of the terrace remain in their original state.
"The brief involved finding a solution for inserting a separate apartment and off-street parking upon the adjacent vacant block that was used for years as an exposed parking space," principal of Atelier Dau Emma Rees-Raaijmakers told Dezeen.
The studio conceived of the existing house and the apartment as one entity and added the perforated bronze facade to the new build to provide a sculptural element.
"The owners wanted the veneer of the new addition to read tonally as a consistent surface to the street's terraced row. It's a respectful but adventurous connection that will age gracefully," said Rees-Raaijmakers.
"From a security perspective, it's a fortress – a metal sheath with small perforations, yet they read artistically," she added.
The screen's bronze panels needed to serve a practical purpose as well as being decorative. "It's a kinetic construct given that its shutters are operable and it incorporates a Juliet balcony," the architect explained.
Rees-Raaijmakers' aim was for the extension's facade to give something to both the client and the inner-city neighbourhood it sits in.
"It's like a theatrical scrim – its diagonal graphic, which is enhanced at night via internal lighting, subtly references the pitched roof outline of the street – a sculptural element to be appreciated by those who pass by," she said.
The perforated design of the bronze facade was also a nod to the bold diagonal floor tiling pattern in the terrace house's stair hall.
Inside Chimney House, Atelier Dau worked with a restrained palette to serve as a backdrop to the clients' art collection.
Some art pieces also influenced the design, including an Aboriginal totem that forms the central spine of the house.
Atelier Dau complemented the terrace's original floorboards with polished concrete floors for the rear extension and used porcelain tiles by Patricia Urquiola to demarcate the combined laundry and bathroom.
The studio also installed a new central fireplace, with a chimney that informed the building's name.
Upstairs, the ensuite bathroom in the apartment was given the same colour scheme and glazed a deep terracotta red.
The studio added upper-level windows that frame the clay rooftop chimneys on the neighbouring terraces, as well as windows to open the rear extension out towards a courtyard. A new, curved central staircase replaced the existing steep stairs.
Atelier Dau is a multi-disciplinary Sydney-based studio established in 2019 by Emma Rees-Raaijmakers.
Other designers to complete residential projects in Sydney include Welsh + Major, which designed a residential extension with patterned window screens, and James Garvan Architecture, which added timber-batten screens to a house in the back streets of North Bondi.

Take an object , do something to it, do something to it repeat
Bathroom tile and added some builder scrim .
I bought the image into procreate and manipulated the image and distorted the size of the scrim.
I used this as a background image, with the influence of Bridget Riley. I used lines and shapes to form my O.P.
I feel after reaching Russian Constructivism Art , that I was definitely influenced.

Flat Roof Leak Repairs
You will find the first release of this post Flat Roof Leak Repairs right here: DC Roofing website
Flat Roof Leak Diagnosis
Today we'll be walking through a case study of a flat roof leak diagnosis and repair. Understanding the process that a qualified roofing contractor goes through can give you insights into your own roof and problems that may arise.
There are two types of flat roofs. The ones that leak and the ones that are going leak. Additionally, many flat roof leaks are misdiagnosed and many times, unnecessary expensive repairs are performed.
The owner of this flat roof case study has had flat roof leaks since the day the building was purchased, which was roughly 10 years ago. The building owner employed many roofing contractors to make roof repairs which included the installation of new roof membranes, installation of new flashing, and the installation of new top reflective sealant coating. After all these repairs, the roof membrane still leaked. The building owner and his secretary would control the roof leaks with buckets. The last roofer decided to get an opinion from a building scientist (Marko Vovk) to help diagnose the root cause of these roof leaks.
Upon arrival and beginning inspections, the roofer cut the roof membrane and found trapped water. Water was running between roof membranes and leaking at two different room locations below. While on the roof, the maintenance man was adked to bring up a 5 gallon bucket full water. Several cups or water were thrown to an upper elevation brick wall. The water beaded off.
The maintenance man was asked who sealed the brick. He said, that 10 years ago, when they bought the building, the previous owner disclosed that the window at this location leaked and it was repaired. He wasn't sure about and brick sealing. He stated that since this repair, the window has not leaked.
Well it was quite obvious that somebody 10 years ago knew it was the brick that was leaking and not the window. This is why they sealed the brick with what appeared to be a water resistant coating.
While walking and inspecting the roof it was noticed that a higher elevation roof brick wall also existed at this area. Several cups of water were thrown onto this brick. This time, the water was absorbed or sucked into the brick. Brick and mortar joints are naturally absorbent; this is why you need weep holes in brick.
This brick upper roof wall did not have weep holes. This brick wall was once an exterior wall of an older building. The building roof that has the two flat roof leaks was an addition that was built over 20 years ago. The brick was getting saturated during long duration rains. This wall also faced the southern and western exposure which is more susceptible to weather. The water was getting sucked into Brick and mortar joints and running down that back side of the brick in the ¾ capillary space.
This newer addition building had roof joists that rested on pocket ledges that were cut into the brick 20 years ago. Instead of water running down into lower levels, it escaped at these cut pockets.
This was going to be an easy fix. Simply by sealing the exterior brick would fix this leak.
The owner was warned though, that when you seal brick, it no longer breaths and the potential of brick spalling may occur. I told the owner to control indoor humidity by running a dehumidifier during cold climates.
The reason for this is that if you have high indoor humidity it will travel to the exterior through a vehicle called vapor diffusion. If the brick is sealed on the exterior, it will act like an exterior vapor barrier. During the winter, when it is cold, it freezes, and brick spalling can occur. So controlling indoor humidity when you have sealed brick walls is very important.
The second leak diagnostic was also simple. Directly above this second leak was 12 year old HVAC unit. We cut into the roofing membrane at this location and encountered moisture. When a 5 gallon bucket of water was dumped into the HVAC unit fan area, it wasn't long before the water started dripping into the room below.
In the room below you could see a roof fasteners rusted and dripping water. The secretary said, the roof would leak for several days after rain storms. This leak existed for 12 years due the HVAC installation contractor not being a roofer.
Go hear to read about How To Patch A Roof Leak
This roof top unit had a roof duct penetration that was poorly sealed. The HVAC installing contractor created this leak 12 years ago. This was also an easy repair.
The HVAC unit needed to be lifted and roof membrane needed to be replaced.
Sometimes when looking for leaks you need to apply some building science knowledge, not just roofing knowledge. Sometimes, roof leaks are not roof membrane related as they were in this case.
DIY Flat Roof Repair
Transcript
Today we'll be discussing making repairs to an old flat roof which, to be fair, is long overdue for a total replacement, but the owners haven't quite decided what to do with it yet. It's had a few minor repairs over the years including a temporary repair with an acrylic based paint on sealant, and in fact that's still waterproof and holding good, but what we'll be considering this time is a low-cost paint on repair that's within the grasp of most people, and it will seal the whole roof not just small areas. The first place to start is with a clean dry roof and as you can see it's dry but not very clean. All we're going to do is thoroughly sweep the surface with a stiff bristle brush, and if any of the dirt or moss is really stuck, it may also involve scraping with a paint scraper as well. What we need is a dust free, dirt free contact with the roof surface so we can prime it up in a moment. You'll probably find the tiny mineral finish or mineral edging like this grips onto dirt really well so it's important to remember that any debris you leave on the face of your roof will into the bond we're looking to achieve. When you've removed as much as feasibly possible just sweep it up or into the guttering ready to removal later on. This is a bitumen primer and all sorts of makes are available. The fastest and easiest way to apply the primer is with a standard 9 inch roller. And if you haven't got a dedicated roller extension you can make one. Simply sure a broom handle straight inside the roller and here I'm spinning a roller into place but you could also use gaffer tape if you really wanted. To just pour out some primer into a puddle about a mugful or two at a time don't go berserk this stuff goes a very long way. As you can imagine, it's not worth bothering to cut in neatly with a brush. I'm just doing the whole lot with a roller because I'll be stripping this roof off in the next year or two anyway. But if you want to do neat but full sheets best for the outside edges.Now let me explain at this point how much primer you want on the roof, and the answer is as little as possible to do the job. By all means be generous on your first pass, but on the second or third what you're looking for is the least amount of primer as possible. Once it's done its job by bonding the loose particles on the surface of the roof, that's it. Any puddles primer is not only a waste it's going to take longer for your roof to dry. The exact same applies to the mineral edges or drips. Once you have it primed roll it out to get rid of the excess less is more. With that done you just need to let it dry or flash off. In the summer this can be as little as 20 minutes but in the winter it can take a couple of hours. So go and have a tea break and come back when it's done. Now this is a roll of glass fiber scrim and it's just like rendering or plastering scrim. And if you want to you can skip applying this stuff totally but I'm going to show you how it's done in case you want to. What I'm going to do now is place this onto the prime roof and roll it out. Just make sure that you get it nice and parallel now roll it to the outside edge of the roof and cut it just short of the drip edge. Next roll back the other side all the way back to the halfway mark and when you get there pin it in position with something just to stop it springing back or blowing around. Fantastic now we're ready for the roof sealant and this is what I'll be using again there's many manufacturers but this is basically a solvent based bitumen roof sealer, and 25 liters of this should be enough to coat this roof twice. Once you've popped the lid off you're going to need to give it a stir a good one the solids always settle to the bottom and the liquids to the top and obviously you want a consistent even coating. So with a flat sided stick nice and carefully pull up all the solids from the bottom and only when you're happy stop mixing. Applying the roof coating needs nothing more elaborate than a decent soft bristled brush. A nice natural fiber like this works best not too stiff and not too soft. If you don't want to work directly from a 25 liter container consider putting a couple of inches off one side of your brush with a hacksaw. Not only does he make it slightly easier to work with but you can also get it in a standard builders bucket. Handy if you don't want to look a whole 25 litres up the roof you. Back on the roof we can now start applying the roof sealant to the room and because we've already primed it it should stick like an absolute beauty. It's just a matter now of applying about two millimeters of sealer over the roof everywhere that the scrim will sit when it's rolled back out. That way when we apply more bitumen on top the scrim will effectively be sandwiched between the two layers. Now using a scrim like this does make this type of repair slightly harder and messier than not using one, but there are two distinct benefits. Firstly it guarantees a minimum depth of coating of two millimeters, meaning no drama spots or missed areas. Secondly when dry it will add additional strength which is important if you have lots of cracks in your roof or it has a slightly soft feel to it. This as you can imagine helps to stop most cracks reappearing as the bitumen sealant dries out with age in the years to come. When you have the first half done roll back the other half and start the process again. Now there are two disadvantages of using a scrim and here they are. Firstly it's a messier job and you have to keep pressing over the roof filling up any holes that reappear. This obviously takes a bit more time and you will use a bit more product. Secondly if your roof isn't flat or has nasty hollows or ridges in it the scrim can resist following these contours which will make it a lot more difficult otherwise known as a pain in the arse. Okay so here on the second run I'm going to do exactly the same process this time making sure that one scrim overlaps the first scrim by two to three inches. Then we're going to cover it up, just as we did before. On the third one though I'm going to show you a slightly easier and lazier way to apply the scrim. Here I've just placed a couple of dabs of sealant onto the roof and I'm going to stick the scrim in it and roll it out into position. This time though I'm just pushing the bitumen straight through the scrim from the top surface alone whilst this isn't as good as the previous method it does still work. But like I said it's a lazy method not quite as good. Your roof your choice at the end of the day. And of course there's the no scrim method. If you're looking for a repair that's a little easier and cheaper just apply the compound directly to the roof. Yes the depth of the sealent becomes harder to judge and it doesn't add the strength that we've talked, about but you can always have a second coat later on and to be honest I would do that as a matter of course anyway. Now all we're doing is covering the whole roof with a nice even coating trying to achieve the two millimeter depth that we require. Covering the whole roof and working back to the ladder or exit point. With that done you should not have something that looks like this. On a summer's day it will be fully waterproof in about an hour, and re-coatable in five to twelve hours. What you want the surface to look like if something like this, nice and even with no pinholes. But sometimes especially if you've used scrim you might get some small pinholes like me near the edges where I was trying not to flip bitumen into the gutter or on the floor below. A second coat of sealant here we'll pay absolute dividends and because the hard work has already been done recoating will be so fast it's almost embarrassing. Any small flecks of bitumen that find their way onto the floor can usually be dealt with by applying building sand generously to them and treading it in. Let it absorb the bitumen for as long as possible and then just sweep it off. For a really nice finish and to protect your hard work for longer consider applying solar reflective coating. Again this stuff settles to the bottom and it will need a darn good stir until the solids flow freely. Then it's just a matter of cutting in around the edges with the two inch paint brush and applying the solar reflective coating with a cheap 9 inch roller just as we did with the primer.

Internal Rendering
Most self builders opt for plasterboard (sometimes known as drywall or tacking) and a skim plaster finish on the internal face of ICF walls. It’s quicker than traditional wet plastering, requires less skilled labour and avoids the usual 14-day drying time (a skim coat will dry in just two or three days).
As our Nudura system has fastening strips at 600mm centres, the boards can be screwed directly to the ICF wall (rather than battening out) to give a solid feel. The majority of our service runs are located in the ceiling voids, with hot-knifed channels in the polystyrene walls down to sockets and switches. We can also plasterboard directly onto the SIPs panels in zones with vaulted ceilings.
 In the basement, we’ve glued stud walls to the floor to avoid screwing into the waterproofing membrane. So we need to batten out the load bearing block internal wall in the vaulted hallway, to ensure the boards are flush all the way up. We’re also creating a recessed ceiling with LED lighting in the media zone, achieved using two different batten sizes.
Tacking
Plasterers are busy people, and ideally want to tackle projects in one big push so they can get the job done and move onto the next. On a gantt chart, you’d plan for them to come in once all first fix works are done so they’re basically the only trade working internally.
1. The ground floor part-way through tacking. The pink section in the ceiling is fire-rated plasterboard, which is required by Building Regs to protect structural steel
In practice, however, there are bound to be delays and overlaps somewhere (the eagle eyed among you will have noticed some images of tacked walls in last month’s update). It’s up to you, if you’re self-project managing, or your main contractor to try to minimise the impact of any setbacks.
One trick is to focus your resource on getting works done in sections to stay ahead of the game. Our tackers started in the basement and worked their way up – giving the rest of Drewett and Hunt’s team time to finalise prep on the storeys above.
2. We’ve packed Earthwool acoustic insulation into the first floor ceilings and all the stud walls
Plasterboarding is quick work. For example, with the exception of a few areas of boxing out, the walls and ceilings in the main basement zone were tacked in a couple of days.
In most areas, we’ve used conventional 12.5mm-thick plasterboard, which comes in 1,200mm x 2,400mm sheets. Different thicknesses are available, which can be handy if you need to correct any discrepancies.
We’ve used SoundBloc acoustic board at the main bathroom to reduce noise transfer, but reverted to standard gypsum sheets with Earthwool insulation in the stud walls and ceiling voids. In some places, such as where there are structural steels, there’s pink-hued fire-rated plasterboard to meet Building Regulations.
3. The main basement room, fully skimmed and complete with recessed ceiling
The main area we couldn’t tack until later on in the build was the vaulted hallway. The crew needed an internal scaffold tower for access here, but erecting this too early would have blocked other trades, such as the floor tilers. So we made the decision to hold back on this section and concentrate on the rest of the house.
As we send the mag off to print, this area is mostly tacked and due to be finished imminently.
Skimming
With the boards in place, your other trades can crack on with any remaining first fix works – for example, the electricians will cut out for light fittings and install back boxes for switches and sockets.
Getting this work done before the plasterers return to do the skim will ensure best results – but some small post-plaster tweaks are inevitable. Skimming is done in two coats: the first gets the wall near-perfect, and the second thinner layer gives that ultra-smooth finish.
Skimming underway in the ground floor living room. It’s best to do the ceilings first to avoid disturbing the wall finishes with any muck that drops off the trowel. The final stages involve ‘troweling out’ the skim multiple times to achieve a really smooth surface.
The main prep is fitting beading at window reveals etc, and covering any joints with scrim (a special mesh tape helps to prevent cracking). After that, it’s all guns blazing. Drewett & Hunt’s plasterers brought in a big crew for this phase – and most of the ground floor was done in a single day.
That’s partly necessity: once you’ve started applying plaster to a wall, you have to complete it. Seeing the process in action is pretty impressive.
There’s an art to achieving perfectly smooth walls and ceilings ready for decoration – and it’s not something I’d fancy tackling DIY (get it wrong and you’d have to start all over again). But it’s bread and butter to skilled trades who know all the tricks and do it day-in, day-out.
