Books by Alan Everett

A well-known and respected standard reference, this fifth edition provides a thorough treatment of the properties of building materials and their manufacture, both on-site and in the factory. The emphasis is on matching materials with the performance required.

The finish to a building not only gives it immediate character and quality, but is also the first aspect of a building that will need replacement or refurbishment. This edition brings the subject up to date with environmental legislation.
