Durability by Design
Protection approaches and options
Sponsored by Inpro | Presented by Mark Alan, CDT, LEED Green Associate
Webinar On-Demand
Architects and interior designers pour their hearts into creating beautiful spaces. Facility owners and managers want their new buildings to look good long after the ribbon is cut. How can durability be built into the initial design?
This course offers an in-depth examination of the materials and systems used for all levels of wall and door protection in interior applications. It also presents placement strategies for effective protection based on damage potential, and argues that first-cost value engineering ends up costing building owners more in the long run.
