Repair & Renovation Guide 5 However, the selection of new innovative materials and methods that come to deal with chronic problems in an exceptional way provides, in the majority of cases, strong comparative advantages and benefits for all involved. The need for information about such materials, first for their properties and then for their appropriate use according to instructions and specifications, is useful for everyone. Most damages that occur to homes and buildings are directly related to the exposure of the building surfaces to moisture, industrial and air pollution, salt (coastal areas), vibrations and earthquakes, expansion and contraction due to rapid temperature variations, building settlement, and UV radiation. Damages are also correlated to oversights, failures, and bad workmanship during construction, repair, or maintenance, either by simply not choosing the right materials or by not following the PM (preventive maintenance) that is required based on the structure’s needs. Our homes and buildings are our shelter, our safe haven, that provides us with comfort to live, work, and do business. They are our valuable assets. The value that a house has for its owner is connected, among other things, to its existence over time with the fewest possible problems. Maintaining and even increasing the lifespan of a structure and avoiding the technical, aesthetic, and commercial devaluation due to damages and wear and tear in general is extremely important, maybe even more important than the original construction of the structure. You are holding in your hands the technical manual ‘REPAIRS & RENOVATIONS’ of DUROSTICK. All the application instructions and directions for use of the products you will find in this manual are based on up-to-date technical knowledge, experience and research from DUROSTICK. We obtain this knowledge for each of our products separately but also in possible combinations, as it pertains to the correct application and their excellent performance afterwards. The solutions and recommendations that are contained in this manual are indicative and a limited spectrum of solutions and combinations. As such, they should only be adapted to the specific circumstances and parameters of the actual, real individual problem, when it is clear that the responsibility of the implementation lies with the installer and/ or person adopting these solutions. DUROSTICK can and absolutely guarantees the quality of its products, which carry all the necessary and appropriate certifications, as required by both Greek and European legislation. DUROSTICK is not able to control all circumstances and parameters that truly are outside the realm of its own responsibility, for example: • the storage conditions of the products (temperature, humidity, etc.), • the ambient conditions during application of each product and afterwards, until complete curing of the products (temperature, humidity, wind, etc.), • the proper preparation of the substrate, • the selection of the product for any particular use and its suitability, • the correct and total adherence to the proper implementation procedures of each product, • the specific parameters that may exist within the problem and causing it, • the ability and skill level of the person implementing the solution. For that reason, DUROSTICK cannot and will not guarantee the satisfactory outcome for each specific application and does not carry any legal or otherwise liability towards the purchaser/ customer and to any other directly or indirectly involved the third party. In general, it would be advisable, appropriate and the best practice to first test in advance the product or combination of products on a small-scale application, and second to use the products by adhering to the technical instructions that accompany them. We recommend the testing to check for both the suitability and more importantly the feasibility of the specific DUROSTICK products for the particular project. Please read carefully the installation instructions and directions of use for each product that you selected for the solution to your problem.
