By using a number of highly illustrated case studies, the author answers questions such as: What causes premature staining? How can it be avoided? The book suggests measures that should be taken to prevent the appearance of ugly staining. The appearance of ugly staining early in a buildings life, ruins an otherwise pleasing appearance, tarnishes the image of the owners and gives rise to costly refurbishment works. In this book Phil Parnham raises a number of questions that should be considered whenever a new building is being designed or built.
