LUMBER LOOKS AHEAD TO '55
BY JUDD GREENMAN
President. National Lumber
Manufacturers Association
Washington. D.C.
Look for greater use of wood
in new home construction next
year!
You’ll S3e more of it on the
outside of n w homes and more
of it on the inside. What’s be­
hind this trend’’ Public demand
Today’s home buyers are de-
mand-ng the beauty, warmth and
dignity that only wood can offer.
They want a home of functional,
advanced design that fits their
needs and has a cheerful, friendly
and comfortable atmosphere.
Today’s home buyers are turn­
ing more to wood paneling—to
relieve the glare from picture
windows, to lend variety U their
rooms, to cut down redecorating
costs.
MORE WOOD WINDOWS
They're turning more to wood
windows—to escape the starkness
of aluminum and steel, to mini-
mize condensation,
to avuid
drafts.
They're turning more to wood
floors—to give their homes last-
ing, practical beauty and the
tread-resilience missing in most
floor substitutes.
They're turning more to wood
furniture—to accent style and
durability in their home furnish­
ings and because the desire to
"touch wood" is ingrained in all
of us.
They’re turning more to wood
siding and wood shingles—to give
their homes individuality and dis­
tinction, to save on construction
costs, to cut down their heating
and cooling expenses.
The demand for lumber in all
types of new construction should
continue brisk next year. But
home budding is lumber's bright­
est spot in the construction pic­
ture.
STUDIES SHOW USE
Recent studies indicate that the
average U. S. dwelling unit con­
tains approximately 10.530 board
feet of lumber
If as many as
1.3 million new homes are started
next year—as many government
and private housing experts have
predicted—the lumber used in
home construction, alone, should
total in the neighborhood of 13
billion board feet. That's rough­
ly one-third of our industry's
average annual production in re
cent years.
We expect the trend toward
greater use of wood in homes
to be given added impetus next
year by the Fed ‘ral Housing Ad­
ministration
FHA officials have
indicated that they plan to give
greater recognition in their ap­
praisals to homes of contemporary
design and quality materials.
Wood fits these specifications per­
fectly.
NEW POLICY HELPFUL
f HA s new policy will permit
builders to take full advantage
of the economy, versatility and
i livable qualities that wood
I parts to a home.
im-
As this is being written, furni­
ture plants app -ar to be working
out of the slump that plagued that
industry during the early months
uf 1954. From the standpoint of
hardwoods sold for furniture
manufacture and other domestic
I uses, 1955 is expected to be bet­
ter than th ■ year now draw.ng to
I a close.
Hardwood flooring d.-mand has
been high during 1954 and should
continue strong in 1955. Total
hardwood flooring production in
1954 was up about 12 per cent
over 1953.
The new housing law will give
a boost to home repairs, altera­
tions and additions, another im­
portant lumber market. Recent
Census Bureau figures indicate
that home owners, alone, are
spending $7.2 billion a year to
fix up their properties. The Na­
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards estimates that owners and
tenants of rental properties, who
weren't covered by ths Census
Bureau survey, are putting an
additional $5 billion into fix-up
work.
DO IT CONTINUES
That makes more than $12 bil-
lion a year b.-ing spent to îm-
prove and modernize resid. ntial
structures, or about equal to esti­
mated expenditures for new hous­
ing construction in 1954.
do-it-yourself movement
i will The continu.-
to figure promin­
ently in the home repair and im-
provement picture, and lumber-
men will continue to go all­
out to service this important
market.
Lumber production for 1954 is
expected to total about 36.5 bil­
lion board feet—seven per cent
below 1953 output. Lumb-r con­
sumption, which includes exports
and imports as well as changes .-n
distributors’ stocks, is figur’d at
approximately 39.7 billion board
feet for 1954—three per cent be­
low 1953. Exports for the year
are estimated at 660 million
board feet—six per c -nt above
1953. Imports are calculated at
2.6 billion board feet—one per
cent above 1953.
Extended strikes in the Doug­
las fir region were chiefly re­
sponsible for the decline in lum­
ber output during 1954. If simi­
lar shutdowns can be avoided
during 1955 and if construction
prospects hold up, lumber pro­
duction and consumption next
year should at least equal—and
may very well exceed — this
year’s figures.
