Manifestações patológicas em revestimentos cerâmicos no Estado de Goiás

Abstract

Ceramic tiles have been used in construction for decades, making them a hallmark of Brazilian constructive culture. This material is capable of valuing the building, as it adds an aesthetic increase to it. This way, these coatings must be chosen and executed in such a way that the processes are strictly controlled, guaranteeing the final quality of the system. This essay aims to characterize the most common pathologies in ceramic tiles in the State of Goiás, in addition to reporting the possible causes of these and how they are linked to the individual characteristics of the elements and/or to the executive process and/or to the actions of the weather at which the ceramic coating system can be subjected. Also, describe the proper process of handling and applying the mortar and gluing the ceramic tiles, including the appropriate tools used in the process and small useful tests carried out during the process, so that such pathological manifestations in the ceramic coatings are avoided.
