Abstract

This chapter discusses how to carry out interior finishes using wood, gypsum, wall coverings, floor tiles, and other related materials. Wall coverings can be used in virtually any residential or contract environment. A special category of wall coverings is used in highly specialized circumstances or for areas of light traffic. Many of these types of wall coverings have been replaced by vinyl wall coverings that simulate the same look with greater durability. The most important step in estimating wall covering is accurate measurements. Use a yardstick or cloth tape measure. Take measurements in feet rounding off to the next highest half foot or for doors, windows and ceiling height. Resilient floor tile is durable, easily maintained, comfortable and attractive, and low cost. It is made of rubber, vinyl, linoleum, and asphalt. Laminate flooring comes in both planks and square tiles. It is constructed with several different layers of various materials that are thermo-fused together to form the laminated flooring planks and tiles.
