Common Materials, Finishes and Acoustic Materials

Common Materials,
Finishes and Acoustic Materials
The properties, finishes, applications and acoustic behaviour of every material you will commonly specify.

This guide gathers in one place what usually requires three textbooks and several supplier conversations to piece together: what each common material is, what finishes are available, where to use it, where not to, what it does to the acoustic environment, how durable it is, what it costs relative to alternatives, and how to specify it. The acoustic behaviour column is included throughout because acoustic design is one of the most underspecified areas of student work.
