Stock Woodwork Versatile Owners Add Personality To Look-Alike Homes

It’s still possible in these days of standardization to achieve individuality in a home without facing the high cost bf custom carpentry. The imaginative use of Stock wood Windows is cue way to do . it. Sliding Since windows of ponderosa pine are factory-produced in a wide range of styles and sizes, a home owner has a choice of many window effects. Windows of various styles, like furniture of various periods, can be used in combination to give a home a pleasantly interesting yet integrated atmosphere. Double-hung There are six basic types of wood windows, available ready to install. They are: Double-hung—the most pop*

Engineers See to It —a^—■ More to Today’s Window Than Meets The Eye x

Dry air is as necessary to proper functioning of some modem windows as is glass itself. While the best windows made for homes today might seem to consist only of glass and wood, they incorporate many specialized components selected by engineers so that the windows will operate properly for the life of the house. The dry air is found between the panes of insulating glass, which consists of two sheets of glass sealed together at the edges. The air inside is dehydrated to prevent condensation. For Long Wear Nylon bearings, vinyl gaskets, “non-galling” gears, water-re-pellent and preservative chemicals, and anodized weatherstripping are among the other refinements that make a significant difference between good windows and cheap ones—even though the two might look much the same. Operating hardware—for instance sliding hinges with nylon bearings that fit into stainless steel tracks — is designed to work smoothly and eliminate any possibility that the sash might sag or rattle in the wind. Locks are made not only for se-

curity but to draw the sections of a window tightly together to seal out cold air. Gears Don’t ‘Gall’ When gears are used, as in the crank that operates a case-, ment window, one gear may be made of metal, the other of plastic. This prevents the binding, or “galling,” action of metal-to-metal contact. All pbnderOsa pine window units are weatherstripped with specially anodized aluminum, stainless steel, or vinyl gaskets. Anodizing is necessary to keep aluminum from corroding and pitting. Water-repellent, preservative treatment makes wood highly resistant to the effects of weather, forestalling warping,' swelling, and shrinking. , Factory-assembled With old-fashioned house con- 1 struction methods, window sash i and frame were assembled at the site.

Kitchens Back in Style With Spaciousness, Color

After a limbo of soap suds and garbage bags, the kitchen has entered a glamor era. The heyday of the big, warm “country kitchen,’ fondly remembered as a family gathering place and the heart of household activities faded after World War 11. As houses went up with lightning speed kitchens became small back rooms. Considered little more than mere necessities, they were designed to usurp a minimum of floor space; when supper dishes were out of the way, they were darkened and forgotten. Overwhelmingly, the predominant note was white. Today, the kitchen has come back into style. Signalling this renewed importance, the chief characteristics are spaciousness and color. The modern housewife demands sufficient working and living space in the area —for meal planning and preparation and also for imaginative decor. Architects and

New Room Air Conditioner Goes Along If You Move

Famines who postpone air conditioning because they plan to move are letting themselves in lor hot-weather discomfort needlessly. - Chances are they haven’t taken a good look at the compact electric room air conditioners now on the market. Many window models require no special wiring and can be installed without special skills or tools in a few minutes. When it’s time to move, they can be removed just as quickly. Many modem room air conditioners go along to a family’s new hbuse just like their television set or portable electric dishwasher. AH modern room air conditioners are designed to do four basic things: cool, circulate, dehumidify and filter the air. But capacity to provide cool comfort varies from model to model. Since a unit that’s too large is uneconomical, and one too small won’t provide satisfactory cooling, a family planning to buy a room air conditioner can ask their appliance dealer for help in getting the cooling capacity just right for their needs. The dealer can do this accurately, but needs a few facts about the area to be cooled: its size and use, number o£ windows and Which direction they face, and whether circuits are 115, 208 or 230 volts. Based on this information, the

Wood Remains Top Material In Remodeling Demonstrating the architectowner’s feeling that living does not stop at the walls of the living room, exterior siding and interior paneling of this home are identical — redwood channel rustic pattern, roughsawn and stained. The horizontal lines of the siding effectively carry the eye through to the patio—with barely a hitch at the glasswall. The home was designed by architect Paul Hamilton for his own living. Despite the constant development of new building materials by modern technology, the natural materials — wood and stone — remain popular. People still want the warmth of these materials in their homes. Recent surveys of housewives’ tastes indicate that wood paneling is still one of the first things a woman thinks of when planning her ideal living or family room Archil tects, too, prefer wood when designing a home for their own use. While compiling information for the latest edition of Redwood Association found that three out of four of the architects who replied had used redwood in their own homes. An accent wall of redwood paneling is an economical and effective redecorating device. Redwood paneling can be smooth surfacing or saw-textured, it can be applied in a number of patterns, horizontally or vertically, it can be left unfinished,, varnished waxed, stained or painted. Architect Paul Hamilton, for his own home chose a channel rustic pattern, applied horizontally, for a shadow effect. He chose a rough-sawn surface for its warm texture and for ease of maintenance. Since he used the same pattern for exterior siding and interior panelnig, Hamilton stained his redwood in a natural tone. If he had not stained the exterior wood, it would have gradually weathered to a buckskin tan, and perhaps a driftI wood gray. Although this effect is desirable in many instances, Hamilton wanted both interior and exterior wood to be the same, for a i more complete merging of interior and exterior. Like many architects, Hamilton chose redwood because of its versatility when he had absolute design freedom — when he was his own client. The Redwood Association’s new bdoklet, Redwood Interior Finishes discusses several different applications and finishes of redwood paneling. Both the Redwood Homes booklet and Redwood Interior Finishes are available from Dept. HI, California Redwood Association, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11, California. Timber Species Five species comprise 90 per cent of the timber in the West Coast Douglas fit region. In order of commercial importance, they are Douglas fir, west coast hemlock, true firs (including five species', western red cedar and Stika spruce. • •
