Redwood-and the permanent beauty of the white house
ARCHITECTS know that the continued attractiveness of a
white house depends largely on two things — the quality of the paint used and the surface on which the paint is applied.
When Redwood is specified, the most attractive and long-lasting painting job is assured. There’s no pitch in Redwood to “bleed” through, nor hard and soft spots to mar the painter’s work. Redwood’s uniform texture provides surfaces which take and hold paint well.
Properly dried Redwood — painted, stained or unpainted — does not warp, shrink, swell or decay. It assures both permanence and beauty.
Our Redwood “Construction Digest” and our “Engineering Digest” contain much useful data for architects, builders and engineers, indicating the exceptional suitability of Redwood siding, shingles, trim, columns, mouldings, pickets, balusters, gutters, window and door frames — for all exterior construction work where resistance to decay-producing fungus, boring insects and the ceaseless warfare of the elements demands the most enduring wood.
Our Chicago or New York office will gladly send you these digests and any detailed information you may desire.
