Too Much Luxury, Says Soviet 1 Press Low-Cosf U. S. Home erf Moscow Show Is Expected to Dazzle Doubting Russians

“Splitnik,” the American-built home the Russian press says is “too luxurious” for the average American working man, will go on display July 25 in Moscow at the American National Exhibition. The 3-bedroom, ranch-style house, which would sell in this country for SII,OOO to $13,000 without land, is being built by All-State Properties, Inc., of Floral Park, N. Y„ on Long Island. Dubbed “Splitnik” because the Moscow model will be split by a wide central corridor to accommodate the expected crowds of Soviet citizens, the compact house provides a total living area of 1,144 square feet with kitchen, living room, dining room, three bedrooms, and one and one-half baths. Built on a concrete slab, the house has wide window areas, and a low-pitched roof of white asphalt shingles, Although this smart, white roof may seem “too luxurious" to the Soviets, asphalt shingles are in use on most American homes today, providing the “luxury” of longlasting protection from all kinds of weather, as well as the beauty of color and texture at low

Most Americans consider this a necessity rather than a luxury, since mineral wool helps keep winter fuel bills down, and keeps houses more comfortable in summer. It would, in fact, make even the cold Siberian winters easier to take.

Weatherstripping In Door Frame Really Does Job An important new development in home building today is a new door frame with built-in-weatherstripping. The new door frame, made of ponderosa pine, has weatherstripping of fabric-covered wood along both sides and the top. The strip is backed by a hidden metal tension spring that keeps it in constant weather-tight conMETAL TENSION DOOR * FULL CONTACT WEATHERSTRIP Metal tension spring built into new ponderosa pine door frame keeps weatherstripping pressed against door,. assuring efficient weather seal. tact with the door, sealing out cold drafts'irt'^winter,-heat in summer, and dust all year around. The new weatherstripping presses against the interior face of the door at its edges, permitting the door to fit more closely into its frame and avoiding wide, unsightly cracks.. This new frame is available in units consisting of frame and weatherstripping alone or as a complete entrance with jamb, sill, weatherstripping on all four sides, and door ready-hung with hardware. It can be installed in less than 15 minutes, ' ,

Ghoiceofßoof Can Reduce Cost of Home Costs of building a house can be reduced considerably by careful selection of the roof style and construction, reports ’ the Small Homes Council of the University of Illinois. The Council, which carries on continuous research to find better and less costly methods of home building, says that recent studies show the most economical roof has a 2-in-12 pitch •—that is, a slope of two inches for every foot of width—-on a house either 28 or 40 feet wide. A roof with a 4-in-12 pitch is a close second for economy. ’ Flat roofs, or roofs with a l-in-12 pitch, are more expensive, the Council's research shows. Costs Compared In their analysis, the university researchers showed that, based on average prices for. labor and materials, it would' cost SBB per 100 square foot of floor area for a flat roof on a house with a 28-foot span, and S9O per 100 square feet with a 1- pitch. A roof with a 2- or 4-in-12 pitch on the same house with overhangs of approximately two feet, could be built for S7B per 100 feet of floor area. On a 40-foot span, a 4-in-12 pitch is slightly higher in cost—sß6 per 100 square feet compared to SB4 for the 2-in-12 pitch. This means that a house with 1500 square feet of floor area and a 28-foot span can be erected for $l5O less with a 2-in-12 or 4-in-12 pitched roof than with a flat roof, and SIBO less than a roof with a l-in-12 pitch. The Council explains that the primary reasons for the difference in cost between pitched roofs and flat, or almost flat, roofs are: Trusses Save 1. Nail-glued trusses available today are more economical at many spans and pitches than the nailed and ring-connected trusses previously used. 2. The acceptability today of asphalt shingles for lower roof slopes. “Asphalt shingles," the Council points out, ‘‘can be laid at slopes as low as 2-in-12 if a double layer of 15-pound saturated felt underlayment is used and if shingle tabs are held down firmly by asphalt cement. Some asphalt shingles are provided with cement already on the tabs. Such shingles can be’ laid with virtually no increase in labor time.” 3. Although the primary framing for flat roofs is still cheaper than the economical nail-glued truss, the increase in sheathing and roofing.costs is more than enough to Override the savings in primary framing. On flat roofs,, %-inch plywood must be used while %-inch plywood is adequate for shingle roofs. • 4. Cost of labor to apply built-up roofing material on flat or nearly-flat roofs is higher than the cost of applying shin* gles on a pitched roof.
