Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur A sourcebook designed to take the pain out of selecting floor coverings. Wherever you live and whatever your budget, Alan Berman offers advice and information on how different floor treatments can transform the mood of a room. All types of flooring are discussed and illustrated, including: rugs, carpets, grass, coir and sisal, plain and patterned, tufted and woven; innovative uses for linoleum, rubber and glass; and traditional fired earth tiles, cut stone paving and painted floorboards. Design inspiration is combined with solid and practical advice on techniques such as measuring and estimating, laying mosaics, grouting tiles, sanding and varnishing floorboards, and removing stains. Biographie de l'auteur Alan Berman practises as an architect in Oxford. He has extensive experience of renovating older properties, as well as in the design of new buildings and interiors. He has also taught at several architectural schools and is a regular contributor to architectural periodicals.
