Kitchen and Bath Products and Materials describes the
typical materials, equipment, and surfaces used in all facets of
residential kitchen and bath design. Part of the National Kitchen
and Bath Association's Professional Resource Library, this
comprehensive reference is fully updated and expanded to include
new technologies, materials, and finishes, with considerations of
sustainability throughout. Full color illustrations and a revised
design help visual learners better absorb the information, and the
companion website provides an image bank and instructor's guide for
classroom use. Each chapter includes a summary and review
questions, allowing readers to test their grasp of the material at
every step.
Kitchen and bath design is the most popular and lucrative area
within residential interior design. As such, the enormous amount of
options available for surfaces, fixtures, and materials is far too
vast to be navigated by taste and aesthetics alone. Kitchen and
Bath Products and Materials provides the background designers
need to choose what's best for the client and the space, based on a
number of objective factors and technical details. This complete
handbook allows readers to:
* Explore material options for storage systems, fixtures,
fittings, and surfaces
* Become familiar with sizing systems, efficiency ratings, and
certifications
* Consider factors like manufacturing processes, engineering, and
configuration
* Learn the terms and nomenclature used to describe materials,
fixtures, and appliances
Design is about more than just aesthetics - whether the
project is a remodel or new construction, there are codes,
standards, and functional requirements that must be met. Kitchen
and Bath Products and Materials is a practical reference,
providing the information designers need to make informed
decisions.
