Board identifies appendices and deeper guidance on paint and masonry

Mar 17, 2026

Board members reviewed which technical topics should be expanded in appendices to the design standards: an appendix on paint (breathability, linseed oil vs. latex, and conservator guidance), an appendix on masonry and repointing, and a bibliography/resource appendix.
