Wood (most commonly Red-
wood, cedar, Douglas, fir and
white pine) is usually the first
material that comes to mind
when resurfacing a house is un-
der consideration. _ Practical
and economical, it can be cut
and shaped easily to almost any
existing wall.

| Wood siding is available in a
wide variety of types. The
main difference lies)in the way
they are cut.
Bevel or lap

ding is applied

horizontally, with the lower
edge thicker than the upper.
Most popular today are wide

|panels: eight, 10 and 12 inches.

Also applied horizontally and
lapped is drop siding, which has
a groove along one edge.

Board and batten siding con-
sists of wide vertical boards
with narrow battens covering
the joints. For architectural
relief, vertical tongue-and-

‘ove panelling is often used.

Glass block in solid colors <i: sa

For the first time, glass block
néw comes in a solid colour.
This development is the result
of a process which permits both
coloured and colourless glass to
be drawn from the same melting
pot at the same time. The intro-
duction of colour is a significant
forward step in the progress of
structural glass for the home.

The first colour to be used in,

this coloured block is called
“Shade Green,” a blue-green
colour selected because of its

cool appearance and its ability to
reduce sun brightness and solar-
heat transmission. The beauty
of this particular shade is com-
plemented by its functional

block may be used separately or
both sizes may oe combined in
any given area to achieve a de-
sired effect.

A combination of Shade Green
and clear block gives additional
latitude for the home decorator
and designer. By mixing an
equal number of clear and col-
oured block, the design can range
anywhere from a checkerboard
to alternating rows, either hori-
zontal or vertical—as featured in
the accompanying picture of the
patio, or a random interspacing
of the block for a modern Mon-
\drian effect. Combining the

WATERPROOF WALL

The block is joined with
mortar and hence becomes a per-

are placed. In any area of the
home, they make the most of
available natural light while

providing an interesting texture
and pattern of materials suitable
to any room or style of decor.
Being mortared, the glass block
forms a waterproof wall which
has an insulation vaule equiva-
lent to that of 8-inch masonary

shingles are often combined in
what is known as the double-

under-course is usually a low-
grade shingle. The result is an
attractive, highly weather-re-
sistant surface.

obtainable in many colors which

Plywood siding comes in dur-

Aluminum siding comes in

Insulating siding provides an
