Aluminum Among
More Versatile
Building Material
Aluminum-the miracle met
al that was virtually unknown
in home building and home
Improvement until few years
ago-ha rapidly come to be
the most versatile of building
materials.
And there'! good reason for
aluminum's enthusiastic re
ception among building pro
fessionals and homeowners
themselves; as the Home Im
provement Products Associa
tion points out, aluminum has
a combination of important
qualities that makes it superi
or to any other material for
most residential uses.
The first is that aluminum
Is lightweight. You can saw
it like wood-work it with or
dinary hand tools for count
less do-it-yourself projects. Yet
It can be factory-treated and
turned into products that are
strong as steel.
Countless Alloys
Available in countless al
loys, tempers and finishes,
aluminum lends itself to vir
tually any home-building job.
It is non-magnetic, nontoxic,
nonrotting, nonrusting and
vermin-proof. It can be per
manently colored. Once in
stalled, aluminum products
protect your investment in
your home, cut maintenance
to a minimum to give you a
lifetime of chore-free week
ends. Aluminum harmonizes and
blends with other building materials.
Homes remodeled with
aluminum are easier to live
In, easier to rent and sell,
easier to insure and mortgage.
They cost less to heat and
cool. And, perhaps the big
gest plus of all, they're safer.
For aluminum is non-sparking
and, of course, fireproof.
In houses going up today,
dozens of aluminum products
are used. Siding, roofing and
reflective Insulation, duct
work, doors, windows and cus
tomized bullt-ins . , . these
products need no painting and
no maintenance. Not when
they're aluminium!
The greatest benefit of all.
according to the H1PA, ts that
aluminum Is permanent.

Gives All Floors
Distinctive look
Many new and distinctive
floor treatments for any room
in the house, are now possible
with "Scored Tile" - a new
product of the American
Olean Tile company.
This new, glazed ceramic
tile boasts a tough, long-wearing
crystalline glaze developed
for use on floors in the home.
They are easy to clean, and
offer permanent beauty.
"Scored Tile" Is a 4V."x
414" glazed interior tile with
straight grooves cut into the
surface; the cement grout
flows Into these grooves Just
as it does in the joints around
it. This creates an effect in
which the grooved sections
seem to be smaller, individual
tiles.
Each scored tile can be
combined with Identical tiles,
with other scored designs or
with unscored crystalline
glazed tiles. It thus offers a
potential of literally hundreds
of patterns.
These are set as individ
ual 4V4" units; they have
self-spacing projections which
enable them to be set quick
ly. . . . uniformly and with
straight Joints.
For tiling walls - and also
the prefect complement to
"Scored Tile" floors-Is Amer
ican Olean's "master . set" -new
type of mounted glazed
ceramic tile.
These tiles are mounted on
a specially-developed paper
thin sheet, permitting place
ment of as many as twelve at
one time.
Twelve, 4'4" tllrs may be
Installed in one unit - or - 9
larger size tiles-and they go
from carton to wall without
soaking.
Individual tiles or sections,
can be cut or snapped from
the master sheet, easly and
quickly.
This new tile permits sub
stantial savings of time and
money, on glazed tile installa
tions, particularly on large
areas.
Sound Financial Program Is Important in Modernization
Home modernization and
Improvements planned for
1960 should be based on sound
Individual family financial
programs, and on considera
tion of present and anticipat
ed Income in relationship to
current and anticipated living
expenses. These include such
items as mortgage and car
payments, taxes and food.
Responsible e o n t r actors,
material dealers, and lenders
have a cooperative interest In
helping homeowners In their
communities realize their
hopes of doing such projects
as enlarging kitchens or build
ing more bedrooms for their
growing families, because
such improvements add to and
maintain property values.
However, If accomplish
ment of such projects Involves
substantial loans, it will pay
to take a well considered look
at the overall family financial
situation in view of possible
uncertainties that could de
velop in the Immediate fu
ture. Family financial well be
ing is of primary importance.
Supply of Credit
The supply of credit avail
able for home modernization
and improvements should be
adequate to meet all soundly
based family programs during
the coming year. A homeown
er has several sources for
loans at his disposal.
An important one is the
holder of his mortgage. Some
mortgages include "open end"
provisions that provide for
advances which do not exceed
the original amount of the
mortgage.' In cases where
mortgage contracts do not con
tain such provisions, lenders
may suggest some other solu
tion. One would be: in cases
when a mortgage is well paid
down and the proposed Im
provement would involve a
substantial amount, then the
mortgage holder may suggest
recasting the mortgage instru
ment entirely. This process
could be expensive.
In any event, the homeown
er peeking to incorporate his
modernisation or improve
ment costs in his mortgage
will pay interest on the new
funds borrowed, at rates ex
isting at the time the new
loan is made.
Volume of Loans
By far the greatest volume
of home modernization and
improvement loans is made
by banks, either by their own
plan or in conjunction with
Title I of the Federal Hous
ing Administration.
Bankers realize that the re
pair and improvement of real
property conserve its value,
contribute to the development
of a sound economy, and make
the community a better place
to live.
This view is supported by
recent studies made by the
Advisory Committee to the
Instalment Credit Commis
sion of the American Bankers
association, in which banks in
all parts of the country re
ported the volume of their
home improvement loans as
Increasing, despite "advanc
ing prime rates and interest."
When it is considered that
these loans are usually made
on a 36-month term, the pay
down on outstandings pro
vides new money for lend
ing every month.
Plant small groups of bulbs
in an oval pattern for best
effect. Prepare soil by spading
it up, breaking clumps, then
raking it smooth.
SMALLER PROJECTS a mortgage involved in the
Smaller home modernizing transaction. And, as in the
projects, requiring expendi- case of the bigger jobs, there
tures of less than $3,500 can are a number of possible
usually be financed without sources of money.
