Task: Adding lattice All polystyrene boards on the whole façade are covered by a metallic lattice, which is sealed on the façade with mortar. This lattice will support the coating. This operation is done manually by the worker. He applies the mortar from a mason’s through with a trowel. Then the lattice is sealed into the mortar. |

Task 8: Finishes and removal of residues The façade is manually ground and sandpapered where needed. The waterproofing product is applied manually with a roller, and hydrochloric acid is used to remove the residues. More façade coat is applied manually with a smaller trowel where needed to obtain a smooth finish. |
