Devoted entirely to textiles for interiors, Textiles for Residential and Commercial Interiors, Third Edition, focuses on the most current fiber and fabric information including new fiber technology and nanofibers, the role of the interior designer in selecting textiles, and the environmental impact of textiles. The scope of the book has been expanded to include in-depth coverage of household and institutional textiles, in addition to commercial and residential textiles for upholstered furniture, windows, walls, and floor coverings. Newly added full-color line drawings and photographs enhance the text, clearly illustrating fibers, yarns, fabrics, manufacturing equipment, coloring, finishings, and end products and end-use settings.
