According to the present disclosure, methods and techniques for generating preferred concrete block products are provided. The methods and techniques involve providing addition of color to selected section within the blocks (1), as described herein, to generate enhancement effects. Typical applications involve spray applications for color pigment to visually distinct sections of the block (1) on one or more decorative surfaces.

In general, the present invention is directed to a building panel, such as a gypsum board, comprising a core having a first side and a second side opposing the first side and at least one facing material having a coating comprising at least one fungicide, at least one polymeric binder, and at least one pigment. The panel satisfies at least one of the following: the board exhibits a rating of 2 or less when tested in accordance to ASTM G21-15 or the board exhibits a rating of at least 8 when tested in accordance to ASTM D3273-16. The panel may also exhibit at least a Level 3 finish.

The disclosure is directed to thermal and moisture insulated interlocking brick comprising natural, in-situ carved stone faade coupled to a backing layer comprised of a massive and lightweight portions, as well as methods of forming the brick and methods for cladding and using the bricks in load bearing walls and in non-load-bearing walls (light construction).

A method comprising applying a reflective silicone-containing composition to at least a portion of a surface of at least one architectural substrate, wherein the silicone-containing composition-applied surface faces an exterior wall of a building or an exterior roof of a building.

A masonry system having a primary masonry unit with final coating and thermal and acoustic insulation, with several derivations. The masonry system guarantees the construction of a wall providing final finishing and thermal and acoustic insulation simultaneously. The system is based on a primary masonry unit having a coating layer in its outer face and an insulation layer which, depending on the version adopted, can be situated in the inner face thereof or in the outer face, covered by the final finishing layer in the latter case. The primary units present a tongue and groove fitting system which allows an easy and quick fitting, allowing the placement of these same units by wet or dry process. The masonry system further foresees secondary units and metallic reinforcements, to prevent phenomena of cracks and fissures and to improve the anti-seismic behavior of the wall.

The present disclosure describes modular blocks configured to give the appearance of natural or cut stone. An aesthetic coating composition may be applied to one or more surfaces of a block having a low-density, such as an insulating concrete form (ICF), to form an modular block having the appearance of cut stone. The aesthetic coating composition includes a binder component, such as a cementitious binder made from white Portland cement, or a polymer binder such as an acrylic binder, an aggregate component, such as a limestone aggregate component, and optionally an adhesive component. The aggregate component includes a fine sand portion and a coarse sand portion that effectively enable the appearance of cut stone after finishing of the aesthetic coating surface via sanding, polishing, sandblasting, acid etching, acid finishing, or exposed aggregate finishing.

The invention relates to a protective element for connecting to a concrete element of a tunnel extension, which has a protective section having a first side facing the concrete element (10), on which first side at least one connecting element (17) is provided for establishing a retaining connection of the protective section to the concrete element (10), wherein the protective section is made from at least one plastic material, characterized in that the protective section (20) has at least one drainage element (40) through which a fluid can pass from the first side of the protective section (20) to the opposite side of the protective section (20) facing away from the concrete element (10).

Provided is a low-emissivity coating comprising successively: a first dielectric layer comprising a first metal oxide; a low-emissivity layer; and a second dielectric layer having first and second layers stacked on each other, the first layer comprising a second metal oxide, and the second layer comprising a silicon aluminum nitride, wherein each of the first and second metal oxides has a refractive index ranging from about 2.2 to about 2.6 with regard to a wavelength of about 550 nm.
