From the Back Cover

The increasing range and sophistication of building components has meant the necessary division of the original single volume, Components, into two books: Internal Components and External Components. This format has enabled the new authors to extensively revise and update the content and to describe in detail the variety of forms of construction that are now available. Internal Components integrates logically with the theoretical aspects explored in other titles of the Mitchell's Building Series e.g. Finishes and Materials; encourages evaluation of alternative methods for putting components together; fully illustrated throughout with diagrams and photographs; uses contemporary case study material to relate component design in the context of real buildings; includes references to specialist suppliers and the latest British Standards and Building Regulations. Coverage includes: component design; demountable partitions; suspended ceilings; raised floors; joinery; doors; ironmongery; stairs and balustrades. This informative book has been written for students of building, surveying civil engineering and architecture. It will also serve as a useful reference source for professional engineers, building managers and architects.
