Synopsis

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.
