Materials for Interior Environments
Corky Binggeli
(2007)
Hardcover - 352 pages
John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470114282
Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
There are thousands of products available for use in interior environments, every one with its assets and disadvantages. The process of selecting the right interior material for the job can be bewildering and - occasionally - perilous. This book is a guide to knowing, evaluating, and selecting materials that will look good, work well, and respect human and environmental needs. Organized by types of materials, and applications, this guide helps designers successfully address material evaluation and selection of interior components. Technical information for each material is presented in a concise reference format to aid designers in their design solutions. Covering all aspects of interior design materials, this book includes: health and safety codes; human factors and material selection; economic criteria; environmental criteria; and, finishes for walls, windows, ceilings, flooring, and millwork and furniture materials. Practical estimating and installation tools, industry standards, testing and code requirements, and written specification guides for each application.
Engagingly written, highly detailed, and helpfully illustrated with more than 250 color and black-and-white illustrations, "Materials for Interior Environments" is a comprehensive guide to everything a designer needs to know about the materials available for interiors - from aesthetic qualities to manufacturing and fabrication, applications, installation and maintenance, and specifications for materials used in commercial and residential applications.

 E-interiors.net
 http://www.e-interiors.net/
E-interiors.net describes itself as "a professional web tool for architects and interior designers". The site's catalogue includes products from companies in different European countries and America. Users must register to access the download section and to obtain 2D and 3D CAD files, technical information and printable images, but this is free of charge. The site is rich in material, well illustrated, and highly customisable, with clear instructions - users can browse through different types of product (kitchen, bathroom, lighting, flooring, etc.) using the main menu, and then refine their results by product category, product type, brand, designer, country of origin, style or sector. The interface is fine, though the extensive use of frames, evidently optimised for 1024 x 768, makes the site difficult to use on a small monitor. Nevertheless, this is an impressive resource overall, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 3 Apr 2006].
