Differential temperature in the cement structure causes cracks, spalling and eventually allows chlorides, sulphates & other ions to penetrate through the porous spaces causing the structural problems. These detrimental factors are limited if the cement has the ability to repel water. Here water repellency is achieved through internal &external surface application of water proofing compounds. Existing durable materials such as metals and ceramics are generally hydrophilic & require polymeric modifiers to render them hydrophobic properties. Plaster drain provides a cavity drainage system, suitable for remedial works, and is used to provide a key for plaster and render finishes. Water is an essential ingredient in cement structures, but uncontrolled excessive moisture can create whole host damage. The purpose of this research is to give an idea about insulation of building with the finishing systems like plastering and painting. Using good quality of materials and sustainable materials increases the durability of the structural component. It also gives knowledge about R value of individual component used, how to create a crack free finishing systems with eco-friendly materials.
