Aspects of salt and moisture transport in restoration renders (plasters)
conference paper
There is a need for obtaining more knowledge about renders (plasters) used in restoration because of cases of damage observed in the field. The currently applied and available restoration renders do not always meet the requirements By analyzing damage cases it becomes clear that the performance of modern and traditional renders, under salt load is not fully understood. In oreder to gain a better understanding of salt migration through renders and to promote better practices regarding the application of resoration renders, the European research project COMPASS (compatibility of renders with salt-loaded substrates in historic buildings) was launched. In this paper, preliminary findings from project are presented.
