Dimension Stone Design Manual available on MIA web site
CLEVELAND, OH--The Marble Institute of America (MIA) has announced that its Dimension StoneDesign Manual has been added to the "Members" area of its Web site. This is a significant policy development for the MIA, who previously distributed the standards document via online sales of hardcopy or in a downloadable format. While new MIA members will still receive a physical copy of the Design Manual when they initially join the MIA, they will now also be able to access a "view only" version of the book by logging onto www.marble-institute.com.
"I had been hearing for years that we needed to figure out a way for members to be able to access these technical specifications 24 hours a day," said Chuck Muehlbauer, MIA technical director. "There was also the obvious issue that most employees did not have a physical copy of the Design Manual sitting on their office or home desk. This development solves all of these problems and provides a tremendous amount of value for members of the MIA."
