Rob Thallon
A standard reference for
residential framing details
This essential reference helps readers choose and install floors,
walls, ceilings, cabinets, countertops, trim and stairs. Just as Rob
Thallon's Graphic Guide to Frame
Construction is the standard for interior residential frame
construction details, this carefully researched volume is the
authoritative guide to interior construction details. A must-have
for the libraries of designers, builders, architects and anyone
involved in residential construction or remodeling.
Thallon covers hundreds of interior assemblies appropriate for light
frame construction, including plaster and drywall, wood flooring,
tile, terrazzo, solid-surface countertop and more. All information
comes from actual job sites and has been reviewed for accuracy by
architects and builders from across the country.
