Timber in refurbishment draws on TRADA's and other specialists' experience to demonstrate how timber is used to restore historic buildings and refurbish modern buildings.
It explains the best ways to realise timber's benefits in floors, panelling, doors, windows and cladding. Illustrated with some 60 photographs and drawings, this book is a rare combination of imagination, flair and sound technical advice.
A selection of case studies, demonstrating the use of timber in refurbishment feature in the book, including: Ightham Mote, Windsor Castle, 'Out of the Hat' in Tewkesbury, Derby Roundhouse and Lambeth Garden Museum.
Ruth Slavid is the author of several books on wood architecture and regularly contributes to architectural journals on this topic.
