used in the period are: canal tiles, also called colonial tiles, cape and canal, cape and spout, "made on the thighs"; outside Brazil, they are known as Arab or Moorish tiles; French tiles, or marselha; Roman tiles. There were various types of roof truss, made of wood, sometimes supplemented by rafters. An important element of the roofs were the eaves, which protected the mud walls from rainwater. It was common for the rafters under the eaves to be carved as ornamentation, and called modillions. There were also elements that complemented or worked as an extension to the main roofs: the balconies and porches. Finally, the ceiling linings in general were flat. Frames Doors and windows (leaves) were made of wood, similar to contemporary ones. There were leaves made of rulers (straight lintels), of cushions, of lattices (urupemas), of wooden lace, with wickets, etc. More recently, pine leaves (with spaces for glass) appeared, which replaced blind leaves. The leaves had several modes of operation: horizontal opening, or French-style, now called tilt-and-turn; vertical opening, called gelosias or rótulas; guillotine or English-style opening. In the case of thick walls, it was common to chamfer (cut) the wall around the window. The larger opening space obtained increased the room's luminosity, and could be used for seating (conversation chairs). Among additional elements were parapets, balconies, muxarabis, arrowslit, door knockers, etc. Floors Internal floors could be dirt floors, clay tile floors, plank floors (floorboards, especially on raised floors), or slab floors (of marble, in the case of noble buildings). Among the external ones were: slabs: stone slabs (sandstone, gneiss, or limestone), laid with clay mortar; pés-de-moleque: laying of pebbles (river stones) on the beaten earth; capistranas: the laying of a continuous strip of large slabs in the middle of a public road, flanked by pebbles or small slabs. Others The paintings on the walls were usually whitewashed, made with lime obtained from shellfish, stone or tabatinga (a white clay). The wood, on the other hand, was painted with glue, tempera, or oil. Among the dyes used were indigo (blue), dragon's blood and urucum (red), safflower (yellow), braúna (black), ipê and cochineal (pink). The foundations were generally direct (shallow), made of stonemasonry. However, in the wattle and daub and timber framing buildings, there were fire-treated wooden struts buried 2 to 4 m deep.
