This is the fifth volume of The Rehab Guide, a planned series of nine guidebooks to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The Rehab Guide series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques rather than projects such as adding a new room. When the series is complete, each volume will cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and feature breakthrough materials, labor-saving tools, and cost-cutting practices.

This volume, entitled The Rehab Guide: Partitions, Ceilings, Floors, and Stairs, was developed as part of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). It covers floor/ceiling structural assemblies, sheathing/subflooring and underlayments, finished floors, and finish materials for walls and ceilings.
