CLEVELAND, OH, DECEMBER 10, 2008 — On January 4, 2009, The Marble Institute of America will release a newly revised and expanded Q&A—Expert Answers to Technical Questions about Working with Natural Stone. The updated module now features over 200 questions from MIA members, contractors, architects and others that have been addressed to the MIA technical department over the years. Topics include: fabrication by stone type, installation, flooring, vertical surfaces, countertops, general topics, explanations, definitions, and troubleshooting.

"The 2008 edition is an update of the popular 2002 version," said Technical Director Chuck Muehlbauer. "We've doubled the size from 100 to over 200 questions and updated all references to Dimension Stone Design Manual version VI to version VII."

Muehlbauer also noted a balance of both residential and commercial topics in the new edition.

The questions featured were selected from the hundreds received annually by the MIA technical department from the past 10 years. Every natural stone professional should have a copy!
