PATHOLOGICAL MANIFESTATION IN INTERNAL CERAMIC COATING: A CASE STUDY IN A BUILDING IN GOIÂNIA–GO

Abstract

Ceramic coatings are a hallmark of Brazilian construction culture, enhancing buildings with their aesthetic impact and being widely used in the national context for several decades. The appropriate selection of materials, combined with precise application processes, directly reflects on the durability and longevity of buildings. This study emphasizes that specialized knowledge not only in the selection and application of coatings, but also in the identification and understanding of possible failures, is a key factor in preventing future problems. The relationship between the individual characteristics of materials, installation methods, and exposure to environmental conditions is crucial to avoid pathologies such as detachment, which may compromise structural stability. Therefore, by deepening the analysis of ceramic coatings and presenting a case study that illustrates these concepts, this work contributes to improving the understanding of coating systems and to the continuous evolution of construction practices in the national scenario, promoting more resilient and durable buildings for the future of Brazilian construction.
