Special Importance of Doors in Modern Home (BRy Expsrience, in Maclean‘s Building Annmnual) Of all the one hundred and one things that go into a new home, doors are perhaps most important. Few things about the home are used more often. One is constantly looking at doors. They are indes=d as much a piece of furniture as the radio, table, chairs. When a piece of furniture is wrong, or irritating, it may be replaced or disâ€" posed of. Not so with doors; to change cne door is never thought of; changâ€" ing all doors is a very expensive matâ€" ter. Few think of doing such a thing, though there are many otherwise beauâ€" tiful interiors almost ruined by clashâ€" ing, freakish, out of balance doors. Why make a sad mistake in the beginning? Like most things, if done right at first, it is finished with. * RBut selecting doors is not altogether a matter of design. There are many stock designs on the ‘market, designs that balance up perfectly with most any scheme of architecture or decorâ€" ation. â€" The all important thing is the door itself. Doors improperly conâ€" structed, or carelessly thrown together, are most certainly the real source of much dissastisfaction, and discontent. The making of doors is somewhat of a science, much the same as boots, radios, pianos, furniture, clothing, etec. â€" one would never think of going to a boot shop, radio shop, clothing store or furâ€" niture store to zuy doors; one would raturally go to a dealer in doors, a dcor shop, if you like. During the past 25 years, the manuâ€" facturing of doors has become a highly specialized industry, and much has been acccmplished through specializing. For example, it has been found that the finest door is a veneered door; on the cther hand. a vengsered door when imâ€" Doors Add to Appearance of the House or Detract from its Beauty.

Don‘t build without seeing these blocks. or reâ€"model, satisfactorily Need Good Core Let‘s see just what must happen durâ€" ing the process of manufacturing a good veneered door. First, suitable core stock must be provided. This should be sound, white pine, thoroughly air dried, then kiln dried to a moisture content of not more than five per cont. This, then, is cut into narrow strips, which must be glued together, with the best glue, under great pressure. We then have the core, which must be reâ€"d@ried back to the five per cent. moisture content, after which this rough core must ke perfectly surfaced two sides. Now we are ready for face veneers. These face veneers have been kiln dried, but they must be reâ€"dried so the moisture content is around two per cent. when glue is spread. The veneers are then placed and quickly subjected to great pressure in especially adapted presses. After glue is properly set, we have the semiâ€"rough parts of the door, but not yet ready for machining, for they must again be reâ€"dried, or in the parlance, sweated to prevent shrinking, warpage, or checking of far / veneers. Now we have the so neXxt comes machining, and we are immediâ€" ately face to face with the old, old properly made (as it is so frequently) is without doubt the worst thing in doors, and a veneered door cannot be preverly made, without proper equipâ€" ment and experience. Good and ‘bad look much the same at first, but in time, often a short time, improperly made doors will show up defects, clearâ€" ly the result of lack of experience and knowledge. . Therefore, in purchasing doors, the first consideration should be the door itself{; it must come from a door factory, a firm who know their doors, otherwise, well, it‘s just too big a chance to take.

Of course, it will swell, shrink, warp, etc. When we find a door that won‘t, it‘s the exception. If we don‘t spend the extra for a specially constructed outâ€" side vensered door, we can only use inill 1t IS 1 nust be hun job. It should solid pine, fir, chestnut or cedar. Be sure it is properly built (mortis and tennon construction is to be preferred). It must have at least three coats of good paint; be sure that top, bottom and edges have three coats after it has been fitted. The maker‘s guarantes is void if this has not been done. Cheap Paint No Good It is statsd above "that unless we pay exta cost for a specially constructâ€" ed outside veneered door." In the case of outside vengered doors the extra cost tant use, how quipped, it is et with greate of outside vengered doors the extra CcOSt is consid@rable. This is because it is built differently. First, keep in mind that the standard thickness of veneer for dcors is 1â€"8 inch, but veneered doors for outside use should be 1â€"4 inch thick, 5â€"16 inch even better. In either case, the service it gives depends greatly, in fact, almost entirely on the matter of finish, how and when. They must be treated exactly as outlined above for solid doors, and given a new coat of paint or varnish each year, top, botâ€" tom and edges as well; glass, if any, should be taken out, and finish applied to that part of the door as well.

Phillips) Moisture is at the bottom of most painting difficulties, New wood must not be left too long unpainted or moisâ€" ture will cause it to weather. But it must dry out sufficiently to prevent blistering, which results when the sun draws moisture to the surface after paint is applied. It is advisable to apply a priming coat as soon as possible after the carâ€" penters have finished working. Delay more than a week or two and the joints, cracks and nail holes may open up too much,. A piece of lumber is a piece of lumâ€" ber, shingles are shingles. and so on, but a door is not just aa door; it is something some one must look at and use constantly, We will replace rugs, chairs, tables, etc. We will change raâ€" dios, stands, cabinets, etc.; but doors go on and on. No one thinks of reâ€" placing doors. We need a new diningâ€" room suit*e: we get it; but the doors stay on. , There is something about doors; you bet there is; a great deal more than so much wood and so much work. Yet most buyers will order doors just as they order lumber, shingles, lath and other wood products. About Painting the Newlyâ€"Built Home The thermometer should register at least 35 or 45 degrees or above. In coldâ€" er weather the moisture present in the atmosphere condenses on the freshly painted surface. Although the paint dries eventually, its durability and life are impaired. Never should exterior painting be done during rainy weather or while the lumber is wet. Frost and fog on fresh paint kill the gloss and cause "ashing." Painting on a windy day will cause small particles to settle in the wet film. Succeeding coats will not entirely cover such daefects. The same arguments apply to the employment of superior workmen. A gocd painter understands his work and the precautions necessary to ensure a good job. An expert brush hand will cover about 25 per cent. more surface with the same amount of paint than one less experienced. He works faster so that while his charge may be more per day, it will prozably be less pet Job. Air infiltrates around the window frame, through the cracks between sash ‘and frame, and between two parts of \the sash. Leakage around wooden iframes can be materially reduced by |carefu]l construction. Metal frames, set in masonry walls, can be calked with | plastic material made for this purpose ‘and leakage entirely stopped. Crack | losses can be reduced by weatherstrips and storm windows, but few people realize how effectively. \ _ tests have shown the value of storm sash in no uncertain way. It was found, quite naturally, that the value of extra sash of this kind deâ€" creased with the tightness of the winâ€" dow sash. However, where â€" cracks around the windows were of normal width, the application of storm sash materially reduced the leakage. It is obvious that, as leakage is influenced by the velocity of the wind blowing against the surface, storm sash are of greatest value on those sides of the house most assailed by winter winds. Also it was found in these tests that storm sash applicd with four turnâ€" suttons was much more effective than sash hung with hook and eye fittings. Such details are well worth careful conâ€" sideration., ns oo it n in «e oo i im omm en mm on mm in on ns Do not attempt to skimp. Three or more coats are always necessary for new work, but they will cost less in the end than two coats. They last longer, look better and form a more effective protective coating. This applies to exâ€" teriors and interiors alike. Window Leakage Is Easily Prevented Approximately 53 per cent. of the total heat loss in our homes is through the glass of the windows and through infiltration. There is little to do about the first, for the loss through a plats #lass window, one of singleâ€"strength glass or one of double weight does not materially differ. Much Loss Through Infilâ€" tratron â€" ofâ€" Air Around Windows. Value of Storm Sash The heat loss through infiltration is one of the greatest individual losses, however, but one that offers many opâ€" pertunities for reduction. When a wind slows against the wall of the hous*®, the pressure against it forces the cold cutside air to come through every crack and cranny in almost unbelievable volâ€" ume,. Supposing a living room of averâ€" age siz°, having four double hung winâ€" dows of conventional size on one wall; with a 10â€"mile wind blowing against the wall, the incoming air would enâ€" tirely fill the room in 17 minutes, and with a 30â€"mile wind every 8 minutes. (By M . B.) For Success in Use of Stucco as Finish (By Wm. T. Ferran) Pecple ask about stucco. They want to know whether it will stay on the wall, what effect climate has, sea air, regions\ cf the Great Lakes, wint‘r, wood lath. Once we thought in order to get a good stucco coat it had to ‘be very rich, and, when it did not work out always, we thought the lath should be put on differently. Then many differâ€" ent devices for attaching the lath so as to get manifold keys were employed. Sonie economical soul managed a way of scoring boards to take exterior stucâ€" co. But none of these methods worked. Ncow we use metal lath. Metal lath fastencd with metal furring devices of wood frame construction is used, otherâ€" wise well burned brick or concrete blocks or tile. That‘s the beginning of the job. It has to be well done. Founâ€" dations have to be strong, walls braced. We can‘t have them moving after the stucco is on. Lap the metal lath, nail it well, run it around the houseâ€"not up and downâ€"turn it around corners, make it tight, don‘t over nail it, keep it away from the backing. Then use cement stucco. Put it on the way the manufacturers have workâ€" ed it out. Thousands of tests have ‘Deen made, specifications have been preâ€" pared by men who are compettnt, exâ€" perts, technical scientists. Thus all the mystery has been removed. Get the backirg on right, get the stucco on right, us> the right kind of materials. Satisfaction is assured, but there is a lot more to it than can be read here. It takes good workmen. This plastic material can be put on a half inch thick or more.

"We are on the verge of a new period in furniture," said a LondGon furniture manufacturer at the British Industries Fair last spring, "and it is to be a subâ€" dued period." Looking round at the exhibits in the Furniture Section of the Fair one was struck by this "subdued" note. The tendency toward the extreme which has besn so noticeable during the past few years is giving place to a restrained modern type, relying mostly for effect on the rich beauty of the veneer.
