Whether you live in a Georgian town house, a Victorian terraced property or a 1930s semi, when it comes to carrying out repair & refurbishment work it is always better to use original materials. Salvaged items of the same vintage as the house are more likely to be in keeping with the building because their surface ageing makes them match & blend better than modern materials, & they may be of higher quality & craftsmanship. This informative guide tells you everything you need to know about tracking down & purchasing reclaimed building materials of all kinds, including bricks, roof & floor tiles, slates, timber, doors & door furniture & much more. This book has 160 pages & is 24.6 x 19.4 x 1.8 cms
