Description
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.
