INTRODUCTION
The last and fifth section, devoted to the use of concrete, deals with the problems of demolding and protecting concrete walls.
The appearance and assessment of surface characteristics of unfinished facings are then developed, with the necessary cross-references to previous chapters to ensure the best quality appearance.
Lastly, we look at the different surface finishes that can be used to create animated effects to meet various architectural requirements.
