Wood Siding
Still Choice of
Home Builders
Chances are when you buy or
build your new home that it will
be covered with wood siding.
Wood continues as the favorite
material of Americans for finish
ing the exteriors of their homes,
the National Lumber Manufac
turers Association points out
And, according to the U. S. For
est. Products Laboratory, there
are -many good reasons for this.
Wood is economical to buy and
use. It fends off the attacks of
both hot and cold climates, with
. little or no perceptible wear It
comes in variety of patterns and
sizes 'to fit either traditional or
modern styles of architecture. It
has natural beauty and richness
of color, or it can be painted any
color .that pleases the individual
The "three most -popular types
of siding are bevel, ; drop and
vertical. "' v-
Lenger, Wider
Since bevel and drop siding are
applied horizontally, they tend to
make a - house look longer and
wider. Vertical siding empha
aizes the height lines. Both hori
zontal and vertical applications
ire frequently used together to
dramatize different portions of
the house.
Bungalow siding is a wider
and thicker type of bevel siding.
A typical size of bevel siding is
316 inch on the narrow edge.
716 inch on the butt edge and
5H or IVx inches , wide. The
bungalow type is up to 3a inch
thick on the butt edge and up
to 12 inches wide. At least IV'
inches of overlap is recommended
for boards IVx inches tnd wider.'
JHany Patterns r
Drop siding . is available in
many patterns, including shiplap
joints and tongue-and-grooved
t center-matched joints. Rustic
siding is a variant of drop siding.
The usual thickness is 2532 inch
or inch and the usual widths
are 4, 6 or 8 inches. Vertical sid
ing may be either square-edged
boards, used with narrow strips
;ealled battens to cover the joints,
or center-matched tongue-and-grooved
boards.
Shingles and shakes are used
for siding in about the same way
that they are applied as roofing.
Shakes are machine-cut shingles
with a scored face.
Wood siding contributes to the
rigidity and stability of a house
and will withstand severe shocks
without shattering.

PERFECT circulation in a bouse -passage from one room to
another -without passing through another room is one of the
goals of smart architects. Here it is achieved to a high degree,
including convenient passage to and from a two-car garage under,
porch roof. Two baths and space for expansion in the attic are
among othet features of this plan B-2155AP by Alwin Cassena
Jr., architect, 14$ So. Franklin Ave., Valley Stream, N.Y. The
house covers 1,633 square feet, without garage, and has
38,542 cubic feet.
Panel Doors Help Enrich the
Appearance of Newer Homes
Doors play an important' part
in interior design, and panel doors
of considerable variety are being
used widely 'in contemporary
architecture to I harmonize with
modern interior styling.
For the most part, the , new
ponderosa pine panel doors fea
ture equal-sized panels in sym
metrical arrangement, in keeping
with the dean-lined dimensions of
modern furnishings.

ness in preventing loss of heat

for long-time service at house
siding are as follows:
Temperature changes, that af
fect metal appreciably, have no
perceptible effect on the size of
wood. 'Likewise wood siding, if
properly installed, can, withstand
any range of moisture change
from long-continued-high humid-
without, shrinking or swelling
enough to destroy its service
ability. . -
Seed! do not demand water
when planted. In most - areas
seeds will get sufficient water
from the spring showers to speed
germination soon after they are
planted. The general rule is:
water in quantity for transplanted
seedlings, but not seeds.
Spring is clean-up time.
No one can accurately estimate
the do-it-yourself trend, but latest
available figures show that there
are more than 11,000,000 home
workshops in the country today .
The installation of these home
workshops can be traced to the
fact that the middle-income, aver
age family is putting a heavy ac
cent on economy in home build-

more, aside from money-saving
and economic necessity, there is
a lot of fun in the process, too.
The availability of tools and
equipment priced for the middle-
income group and simple enough
to operate, has enabled the aver
age homeowner to perform house
hold construction and mainten
ance chores heretofore considered
too difficult for an untrained
craftsman.

The warmth of wood can do
much for a room finished in nat
oral materials. A room with stone
floor, or paneled walls is enriched
by panel doors finished in' one of
the many colored stains now
available.

What to Look
For in
And Carpeting
The crest variety of new car
pets and rugs, while wonderful.
can be confusing! When it comes
to buying a carpet or rug, there
are a few simple hints that should
make your selection easier.
Pre-planning . . take a look at
neighbor's homes, model rooms
in stores, carpet ' displays and
study home furnishings and deco
rating magazines.
Study the room for which you
are buying the new floor cover-
ng. A carpet or rug may repre
sent a big share of your budget
and you want it to last far longer
than draperies or upholstery fab
rics. .
LIKEABLE COLOR
Choose a color that you really
like ' and one that complements
the room. Don t compromise with
a neutral go-with-everything color
that may grow tiresome.
Bear in mind the kind of wear
that the floor covering will re
ceive. Heavy traffic rooms should
have the best carpeting.
Remember these three factors
that indicate the quality of a
carpet; density and quality of pile,
resilience and weight
Broadloom is not a particular
weave or quality of carpet Broad
loom means that the carpet has
been woven on a loom that is six
feet or wider, making it possible
to have roor-size carpets or rugs
without a seam.
Select a reliable dealer . . . one
wb3 stands back of the merchan
dise he sells and correctly states
its quality. A reputable firm can
not afford to misrepresent its
stock. Be sure before you buy!
CUSHION FLOOR COVERING
FOR BETTER LOOKS, WEAR
For a more luxurious appear
ance, softer treaa, ana longer
service, use a rug cushion. From
a beauty aad comfort standpoint
a rug or carpet cushion makes
your floor covering richer to the
eyes, and more pleasing to the
step. That is true whether the
carpet or rug is the least expen
sive or the highest priced in the
market
Padding under your carpet and
rugs also reduces noises and clat
ter of heels and adds long years
of service in lasting loveliness to
your soft floor covering.
CARPET HALLS, STAIRS
Carpeted halls and stairways
are practical as well as beautiful.
They add to the peace and quiet
of your home by absorbing the
sound of footsteps. They add to
the safety of your home, too, by
preventing tumbles, and cushion
ing a fall if it should occur.
TURN RUGS AROUND
Turn your room - size rugs
around once or twice a year. This
will add extra years to their life
by distrubting the year over the
entire surface, thus avoiding lanes
at doorways, near the television
and in front of sofas. Or, place a
small rug on top-of basic carpet
in heavy wear areas.
