Wood -- hard and soft, wood composites and veneers
Plastics, resins, rubber and linoleum
Metals, iron, steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, lead and gold leaf
Glass
Fabrics and papers
Leather and suede
Paints, varnishes, lacquers
Stone, ceramics and tiles

Plaster and plaster composites.

Each material is profiled with details about its properties, use and maintenance, safety tips, availability and relative cost. Jargon-free text with color photographs provide easy installation instructions and important advice on uses.

Interior Materials and Surfaces is an indispensable guide for homeowners and for professional renovators, decorators, interior designers and stylists.
