The new Architectural Woodwork Standards is one of the
most helpful resource tools you will ever use. It’s a
must-have for every architect, design professional, Specifiers and contractor who designs with wood in any size,
or shape .
The Architectural Woodwork Institute, the Architectural
Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada and the
Woodwork Institute worked together the create the joint
unified standard for the specification of qualities,
methods, and workmanship to produce and install
architectural millwork.
This first edition of The Architectural Woodwork Standards
is a definitive reference manual designed to simplify and
clarify guidelines, information and principles required for
fabrication, finishing and installation of architectural
woodwork. It provides design professionals with a logical
and facile means to comprehensively specify woodwork
elements.
The AWS includes compliance criteria to ensure that all
millwork manufacturers are competing equally when bidding on
projects and they are obligated to perform work of equal
quality. The Standards, as in both previous publications,
encompass three grades of quality: Economy, Custom and
Premium. The AWS also includes a comprehensive glossary of
terms. |
