Synopsis

This title takes a practical look at floors and their possibilities. This source book contains hundreds of ideas coupled with hardworking, easy-to-follow instructions on how to lay every type of flooring. The floor is often the largest area in a room, and in terms of expense it can be one of the greatest outlays when decorating. Different treatments can totally alter the mood of the surroundings, for example, compare an expanse of polished bare boards with thick, luxurious carpet or tiny, brightly coloured mosaic tiles. This volume is packed with numerous ideas and suggestions on laying and decorating various types of flooring. It combines style and imagination with informative advice. A comprehensive reference section includes useful information on durability, underfloor heating, wear-and-tear and cleaning, as well as a list of suppliers.
