Painting the newest building stock among Durham's satellite communities
Research Triangle Park's first companies arrived in 1959, decades after most of Durham County's surrounding towns were already established, which makes RTP's building stock among the newest in the area. Exterior surfaces here are more likely to be modern low-rise corporate materials than the layered wood siding found on older frame buildings in towns like Bahama or Hillsborough.
Piedmont heat on modern low-rise construction
Durham County's hot, humid summers affect RTP's newer buildings the same way they affect any Piedmont structure, but modern coatings and materials generally hold up differently than the century-old wood siding common elsewhere in the county. Matching a coating to a building's actual construction era and material still matters near RTP, even though that era is more recent than in most of the surrounding towns.
