Product Description
Architects, interior and industrial designers, building contractors and business management all need to know how to evaluate the materials used in interior design. Fashionable appearance is no longer enough, as working and living spaces must meet current performance and safety standards. This standard American reference work on regulations and liabilities, materials performance criteria and specification writing for interior systems has been revised and updated to include details on panelling, life-cycle costing, data management and fire-performance testing. Particular emphasis has been placed on fire and other safety issues. The book also offers up-to-date information on new codes and regulations.

 Awesome October 16, 2008
The book was perfect. In the description, it did not say that there was some writing in the book, but that's okay!

How wonderful to find a textbook that is not only factually detailed but so clearly written that ---believe it or not---I could hardly put it down. I do wish there were new supplements---it's a treasure. I teach at Pratt Institute's Interior Design Dept., and have assigned it as optional reading and am considering it as assigned reading. The line drawings and illustrations are useful and the sample documents and forms exhaustive.

This is a fabulous book and a must for any professional interior designer to have on their book shelf. The information it contains provides the designer with the basic information needed to evaluate the different types of building and furniture finishes. It covers all of the available types of finishes including floors, walls, and ceilings. The only concern that I have regarding this book is that it is from 1989 and a lot of changes have happened to the industry since that time. Hopefully, the author is in the process of revising it.
