| This essential reference helps readers choose and install floors, walls, ceilings, cabinets, countertops, trim and stairs. Just as Rob Thallon's Graphic Guide to Frame Construction is the standard for residential frame construction details, this carefully researched volume is the authoritative guide to interior construction details. A must-have for the libraries of designers, builders, architects and anyone involved in residential construction or remodeling.
Thallon covers hundreds of interior assemblies appropriate for light frame construction, including plaster and drywall, wood flooring, tile, terrazzo, solid-surface countertop and more. All information comes from actual job sites and has been reviewed for accuracy by architects and builders from across the country.
