Finishes should take into account the intended uses and be highly durable. They must
meet the requirements listed in NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. Also coordinate the
interior (and exterior) design with the following Service-specific standards or agencies:
Army. DG 1110-3-122, Interior Design Guide and Installation Design
Guide Standards;
Navy and Marine Corps. UFC 3-100-10N, General Architectural and
Interior Design Requirements; and
Air Force. USAF Interior Design Guide and applicable Major Command
and Installation design standards.
3-4.2.1
In moist climates, do not cover the inside of exterior walls with impervious
materials such as mirrors or vinyl wall coverings. This is due to a concern over mold
development in the wall.
3-4.2.2
For more information on finishes in specific areas, see the Functional Data
Sheets in Chapter 4.

The Functional Data Sheets in Chapter 4 provide minimum sound transmission
coefficient (STC) ratings for the appropriate spaces. Typical STC ratings range from 35
to 55 STC depending on the space and its intended use. During design, special
consideration should be given by the design team to achieving the minimum required
STC values by treating wall surfaces, wall openings, and the structure with sound
attenuating materials.
Per DoD Instruction 4165.57, Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ), when a
Fire Station is located near the flightline, comply with the AICUZ noise reductions for the
facility location. If an AICUZ map is not available for the location, an acoustical
engineer must conduct an acoustical analysis to determine the exact type and extent of
the additional acoustical treatments needed to address aircraft noise.
