Written in association with The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, the authors' approach is one of respect, restraint and repair rather than 'restoration', which can so easily and permanently destroy the special qualities of an old building. From the foundations to the roof, from the need for modern services to traditional paintwork and finishes, from windows and doors to breathability and damp in walls and floors, this handbook provides informed practical guidance. It is essential reading on maintenance and repair for all those with an old house"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Historic buildings $x Conservation and restoration. 650 0 $a Dwellings $x Maintenance and repair. 700 1 $a Suhr, Marianne, $e author. 710 2 $a Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (London, England) 941 $a 2 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240202021653.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231230010052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=187D31DEA6E111EEAD05C9A659ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
