Finishes specified for Borivali, not a template
Borivali backs onto Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and buildings on the park-facing side sit in a genuinely different microclimate to the rest of the western suburbs: more tree cover, less direct sun on the shaded elevations, higher retained humidity, and consequently far more algae and fungal growth on north and east-facing external walls than you would see in, say, Andheri.
Green-black algal staining on a shaded Borivali wall is not a cleaning problem, it is a specification problem. We treat the surface biocidally and then use a fungicidal exterior system on those elevations, because a standard coat over live growth will be stained again within one monsoon. Internally, the same retained humidity shows up as musty cupboard-wall damp, which we treat at the wall rather than by repainting it.
What Borivali projects actually need
Algae & fungal growth on shaded walls
Park-facing elevations grow algae fast. Biocidal treatment plus a fungicidal coating system, not just a fresh coat over live growth.
Retained-humidity interior damp
Musty cupboard and north-wall damp treated at the wall, with moisture-tolerant interior finishes.
Society exterior schemes
Full-building repaint programmes for Borivali's large co-operative housing stock.
