Study of life expectancy of home components

To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
The life expectancies of the components of a home depend on the quality of installation, the level of maintenance, weather and climate conditions, and the intensity of use. Some components may remain functional but become obsolete due to changing styles and preferences or improvements in newer products while others may have a short life expectancy due to intensive use.
