Chapters cover a wide range of options for do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike:
- 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
- Concrete and cement
- 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.
