The case studies cover a wide geographical area and examine various finishes including mural paintings in a Roman palace, a late19th-century US penitentiary and a fire-damaged English church; tiles in 18th-century Portuguese interiors; the properties of latex paint; a linoleum-covered table; internal and external finishes of the houses of a Ukrainian settlement in Canada; building façades in Gdańsk; and the preservation of graffiti.
