About this product
Product Information
Building features and materials are being lost or replaced on older houses at an alarming rate. The appearance of this book is, therefore, most welcome for it enables the reader to identify original features and materials that have been used on houses from the Georgian period, through the Victorian and Edwardian periods and up until 1939 - a period when building techniques and architectural styles changed significantly. The book is divided into three parts. The first helps identify types of building materials and features associated with the exterior of the house. It provides information about regional building materials and the range of textures and design details. Roofs, walls, doors, windows, external architectural and stylistic features and the general setting of the house are all examined. The second part looks at a range of interior features associated with ceilings, walls and floors, as well as internal doors and windows features. Individual items such as staircases, fireplaces and architectural and decorative features are considered as well as fittings in the kitchen and bathroom and the fixtures and fittings associated with the utility services-gas, water and electricity. The final part is devoted to sustainability and energy conservation, and discusses how period houses were designed to achieve high levels of what we would now call 'sustainability'. AUTHOR: Janet Collings is an architect who specializes in the conservation of historic buildings; she jointly runs an architectural practice and has written several books about the care of old buildings. She also co-founded the website www.oldhouse.info and is a visiting lecturer and external examiner on building conservation at UK universities. After gaining a Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings scholarship, Janet took on a house on the 'Buildings at Risk' register.
