BS 6150:2019 gives recommendations for good practice in preparation, initial painting and maintenance painting of buildings (e.g. dwellings, offices, light industrial buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels and public buildings generally) internally and externally, in which decoration is a significant and often the major factor.
BS 6150 Painting of buildings-Code of practice, provides recommendations and guidance concerni paint application on buildings. All parts of a building to which paint and coatings are to be applied need to be designed to avoid, as far as possible, the creation of features or conditions that can cause difficulties in application, impair the performance of coatings, or promote decay or corrosion of structural materials.
Many modern building materials do not require painting. If, however, building materials are chosen which require painting for aesthetic or protective reasons, then design factors need to be considered by the architect at the earliest possible stage. Specifiers need to consider design aspects from the perspective of paint selection, maintenance and expected service life. Opportunities for design change after construction are very limited. For some new build components, e.g. window frames, initial painting is best carried out industrially prior to installation.
Correct selection of paint systems and clear, precise specifying of methods and processe are essential. However, this alone does not ensure that the chosen systems perform satisfactorily, and it is equally important that consideration is given to the factors described in Table l, including substrate,location and exposure conditions. The influence of design and detailing, proper organization and supervision is of particular importance, and, in some circumstances, an effective inspection procedure. Exposure conditions are the consequence of construction and climatic factors( e. g se BS EN 927-1: 2013, Table 2).The guidance on typical life to maintenance is system specific and applies to mild and moderate exposure conditions. Service life is generally shorter under more severe conditions.
