Redwood Special
Sawn Shingles
THESE new style sawn shingles are fast coming
into use for side walls of residences in the Middle West and in the East.
They are 24 inches or 26 inches long, as desired, both sizes being 5½ inches wide and ¾ inch thick at the butt. Laid 13 inches to the weather and painted, they give the appearance of wide clapboards, as will be seen from the illustration.
Sawn from clear Redwood and properly seasoned, these shingles do not warp. They take paint well and hold it indefinitely. They are recommended for high class residential work, where their ultimate economy will be proved by a practically unlimited period of service.
While Redwood adds greatly to the permanent soundness and appearance of any frame structure, it can be had at prices little higher than for lumber which cannot compare with Redwood in rot-resistance, percentage of clear lumber, uniformity, or freedom from shrinking, warping or swelling.
For the convenience of architects and builders, we have recently issued our “Construction Digest” and our “Engineering Digest” which either our New York or Chicago office will gladly forward, together with any additional information which you may desire. Write for them.
