Features: This book primarily introduces the basic composition, performance characteristics, quality standards, practical applications, and usage methods of various decorative materials in construction engineering. The content includes inorganic cementitious decorative products, decorative stones, ceramic decorative materials, decorative glass, metal decorative materials, wooden decorative materials, plastic decorative materials, building decorative coatings, building adhesives, and sealants—common materials used in modern building decoration engineering. In the final chapter, it specifically explores the relationship between decorative building materials, building decoration design, and architectural aesthetics. It introduces the application of commonly used decorative materials both internally and externally in buildings, including structural design, construction methods, and artistic effects, and demonstrates the economic benefits and decorative outcomes of applying these technologies through engineering case studies. For the convenience of teaching and review, review questions are provided at the end of each chapter. The book references the newly issued national standards and specifications, includes some engineering case study images, and is highly practical. This book serves as a textbook for elective courses in "Civil Engineering" at higher technical colleges, as well as a reference for related disciplines such as architecture. It can also be used as a reference for designers, construction personnel, and project managers in the building decoration industry.
