TECHNICAL ARTICLE Cold Weather Painting

From Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn-Edwards Paints

Over the past few years, a number of paint companies have developed latex paints that will cure at temperatures below 50º F, thereby allowing painters to extend their exterior painting season. The purpose of this article is to provide a better understanding of how application conditions can impact the overall appearance and performance of an exterior paint job.

Latex Paint Film Formation Latex paint consists of dispersed pigment and resin, along with some additives and liquid, which is mainly water.

When the paint is still in its liquid state, the particles of pigment and resin are evenly distributed and spaced out.

After application, the water begins to evaporate, and the particles of pigment and resin come closer together. As the remaining liquid evaporates, the resin particles gradually become more densely packed, causing them to fuse and bind the pigment into a continuous film. This process is, called coalescence, and is shown in the graphic below. (Source: DOW Paint Quality Institute) The mechanism of latex paint film formation has some limitations. Because the resin particles are thermoplastic (tending to get softer at higher temperature, and vice-versa), lower temperatures harden the latex particles preventing proper coalescence. In severe cases, this may result in the film actually cracking. In milder cases, the film may exhibit poor touch-up, holdout, color uniformity or uneven sheen.

The Truth Behind Low Temperature Paints The reality of using low temperature paints is that they can be impacted by other environmental factors, such as substrate temperature, humidity, dew point, or drastic temperature changes during the curing phase. For this reason, coatings should not be applied when the air or surface temperature falls below 50º F. Just because a paint will cure at low temperatures doesn't mean that the job will be without any issues. Stable conditions and temperatures are needed early in the paint’s drying schedule with the first 48 hours being the most critical.

Both the air temperature and the substrate temperature must remain above 35º F while the paint cures.

Condensation can also pose a problem in the fall and spring when the temperature drops during the evening causing condensation to form on freshly painted surfaces. As the water builds up on the surface, it runs down the wet film taking with it part of the paint and leaving streaks. The whole point is that it is impossible to control atmospheric conditions when painting in cold weather, and problems may occur even though the paint performs exactly the way it is designed to do.

Precautionary Measures  Check the weather forecast. Determine the weather pattern for the days you are going to paint. Cold-weather paints may take up to two days to dry, and the minimum temperature must be maintained during this time period. If the temperature is going to dip below the minimum mark during the drying phase, painting must be suspended until stable temperatures can be guaranteed.  Pay special attention to the substrate. Both air and substrate temperatures should be above the specified minimums.  Work midday. Focus on prep work in the early morning and late afternoon, and apply paint between 10 am and 2 pm to allow surfaces to warm up and to allow time for curing before dew falls.  Follow the sun. In the summer, the rule is, don’t paint in the sun and follow the shade around the house. But in cold weather, it’s the opposite. Follow the sun around the house as you work. Stop work around mid-afternoon, or when the temperature starts dropping.

BYLAWS UPDATE By: Mark Yarish, CSI Phoenix Chapter Secretary

In July 2010, Institute President Dennis Hall formed the Membership Classification Update Recommendation Task Team charged with evaluating the issue of combining the three voting member classifications - associate, industry, and professional - into a single member class and submitting a recommendation to the board.

After reviewing bylaws of AIA, AGC, CSC, USGBC, as well as several engineers' organizations, the task team submitted its recommendation to the board in September 2010.

The recommendation was to:  Combine the three groups of voting members into a single group named Professional Members.  Change the name of intermediate members to Emerging Professional Members.  Make it possible for Emerging Professional members to vote and to hold office at the chapter and region levels.  Create a bylaws review task team to help the Institute Secretary process the large number of chapter and region bylaws.  Change the membership occupation codes to a structure that would better match the "four teams" concept.

In 2011, CSI members approved an amendment to CSI’s bylaws implementing the recommendations. As a result, our Chapter bylaw provisions based on the old member classifications are no longer valid and therefore the Phoenix Chapter Board is proposing a change in our bylaws to bring them into compliance with the Institute bylaws.

Additionally, several grammatical corrections/clarifications are proposed to make this revised document more CLEAR, CONCISE and CORRECT. In this newsletter, we have published the proposed amended "Bylaws of the Phoenix Chapter of The Construction Specifications Institute" for our members’ review and welcome any input or questions you may have. A formal vote to accept these revised bylaws will be held at the April member meeting. Click on the link to view bylaws. http://tinyurl.com/phxcsibylaws

TECHNICAL ARTICLE Air Barrier Considerations in Commercial Roofing By: Tom Urich, Section 7 Marketing, Manufacturer’s Representative

Since the early1990’s, considerable attention has been paid to the air tightness of our residential and commercial buildings. Many new products and procedures have been introduced to help eliminate air leakage in these buildings resulting in more manageable utility costs. Products ranging from rigid boards, films, sheet goods and liquid applied barriers have been introduced by a variety of manufacturers with growing success.

Manufacturers of commercial roofing systems have also incorporated air and vapor barriers in their systems.

These changes have been driven by wind uplift ratings supplied by code authorities and insurance underwriters.

Factory Mutual and Underwriters labs are two of the leaders in this field and actually provide ratings that many times will require and air barrier to meet their uplift requirements. Application methods have also changed creating more air- tight roofs. An example of this would be the double layer application of the rigid application of insulation once it reaches approximately 2.5 inches. This creates a tighter roof due to the elimination of direct heat or cooling loss through one seam in the insulation.

With all of these improvements, there is one area that gets little attention and is a frequent problem for us in commercial roofing. I am speaking of the transition from the horizontal deck to the vertical parapet. Depending on the construction type, many times this area is not given proper attention by the architect, consultant and contractor. The major problem rests with metal deck systems and wood deck construction. These decks are often supported independently of the wall. Even with the wall supporting the deck, there is usually an area designed for movement. This area also becomes an area of air-leakage.

With air- tight pressurized buildings, this void in the structural deck will create a substantial airflow at the base of the parapet wall. Since the base flashings of the roof system are adhered or mechanically attached from the deck to the parapet, the air - flow is creating pressure directly against the attachment from behind the membrane. This causes the base flashing to come loose over a period of time and billow out from the wall. This condition is present in new as well as re-roof applications.

The solution to this condition is very simple and inexpensive. An air barrier needs to be placed over the void.

This can be done with the insulation, sheet barriers, and it can also be filled with a foam application. It just needs to be done prior the base flashings being installed. An additional termination bar can also be installed at the base of the wall to help support the pressure created by the air- flow.

Most manufacturers have specific details and specifications for this condition.

We just need to use these details and procedures.

GREENS AND BLUES HEADLINE 2013 PAINT COLOR PALETTE Originally published by Paint Quality Institute Submitted by Tim Garver, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, Dunn Edwards

It’s fitting that green is expected to be one of the top paint colors used to refresh and renew the interiors of homes and buildings. Green has always been symbolic of new life.

Only now, it will be giving new life to tired interiors.

That’s not to say, however, that the “pure” green we see on the color wheel will be the people’s (or designer’s) choice. With the growing complexity and sophistication of the palette offered by most paint companies, “green” today refers to an extremely wide spectrum of hues.

To visualize the options, think of the many colors that appear in a garden or grove of trees: apple, asparagus, celery, fern, honeydew, lime, mint, olive, and willow may come to mind. Wherever you buy your paint, you’ll likely find some tints and shades of green named after such familiar flora.

Then there are the greens that gravitate toward blue, which just happens to be projected as the other popular paint color this year. Bluish-greens like teal, turquoise, aquamarine and cyan are expected to be hot designer choices. By selecting one of these hybrid colors, you can in a sense co-opt both of the trendy color choices.

That’s not to say we won’t see a lot of true blues this year. We will. And many will be drawn right from mother nature: lighter tints such as sky blue and robin’s egg to darker shades like slate, navy and midnight blue...and everything in between.

Because various greens and blues work so well together, virtually any combination from these extended color families can be used to create a visually pleasant interior. To that end, do-it-yourselfers, and even professional painters and designers, might mix it up when working with these hues.

Some of the ways to do that include using different blues or greens on the walls and trim, painting an accent wall in a slightly different color from the others, and even incorporating patterns into the paint color scheme used on the walls. Another idea: painting one or more items of furniture in a contrasting or complementary green or blue.

Just as they do in a garden or landscape with the sky up above, the various greens and blues will tend to harmonize into a cohesive picture that will be as serene and tranquil as the beautiful scenes we see outdoors.

THE CHAPTER NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT TODAY THE CHAPTER NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT In order to cut costs to keep the chapter profitable, the Board of Directors decided to outsource the newsletter and web site to a publisher – Your Computer Lady.

Your Computer Lady had been creating the newsletters and updating the web site for over a year for a fee. But with this change to a publishing agreement, YCL sells advertising to cover the costs of each month’s newsletter and each month’s updates on the web site.

Each of you have received numerous emails about advertising. Each newsletter for six months has included advertising info. Many calls have been made.

But advertising is still not covering the basic costs of either the newsletter or the web site.

These communications are important to the chapter.  The newsletter promotes each monthly meeting not only to encourage member attendance but to encourage guests and potential members to attend.  The newsletter provides educational information including the opportunity for you to educate the members about your industry and your issues.  The web site provides a gathering spot of technical data, chapter information such as by-laws and the member roster. Do business with other chapter members!

YOU NEED THE BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING WITH THE CHAPTER  The newsletter has an Open Rate between 31-42%. That’s well above the national average of 25%. Your target market reads the newsletter!  Click-through rates on the newsletter run between 16-28%. Again, well above the national average of 5%.

Your target clients visit web sites and read articles from the newsletter!  For the 3rd Quarter of 2012, the web site averaged 4,049 visits a month with 9,783 page views.  In November 2012, a traditionally slow web site month, the site had 1,494 unique visitors who viewed 4,138 pages.  Web traffic has consistently grown in 2012 over the 2011 numbers.

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY Three table tops are available at most meetings. You get a table top to display your products or services before, during and after the meetings. But you also get a 5 minute presentation to the entire chapter! Put your best foot forward and contact 80+ prospects at one time.

CODE CORNER Applying the Building Code During Design: A Step-by-Step Process By: Ronald L. Geren, AIA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, SCIP

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.”

John Ruskin, author and critic of art and architecture

Nobody likes to redo work that he or she has already completed. However, time and again, some design professionals seem satisfied to let the building department review their designs and then make any corrections that are noted. This may work well for very small projects, where the impact of a correction has minimal effect on the overall design. Large, complex projects, on the other hand, will likely suffer delays and significant changes if code compliance errors are left for the building department to find. For example, if the design professional for a multistory building miscalculated the occupant load on the low side for a restaurant on the top story, the error might require widening of stairs, or worse, the addition of another stair.

Checking or inspecting work after completion is referred to as quality control, or QC. For construction, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) defines quality control as the “procedures for evaluating completed activities and elements of the design for conformance with the requirements.” Although some design firms use the local building department to perform the QC review, other design firms may have internal reviews conducted at the end of document production either by in-house staff or third-party peer reviewers to perform the QC review. However, relying only on QC to ensure a quality project is neither efficient nor cost effective— regardless of who performs the review.
