Hollow Building Tile Gains Rapid Industrial Favor
Hollow building tile grows rapidly in use for load bearing walls in residences, flats, churches, schools, and skeleton frame buildings. Its light weight, fire and weather resistance, and ease of erection reduce need for solid masonry and frame construction while offering permanence and reduced cracking.
Chimney Height and Capping Guidelines for Roofs
Chimneys should extend above roof ridges by at least 2 feet on peak roofs and 3 feet on flat roofs and be properly capped. Flue lining must protrude 4 inches for a 2 inch wash and 2 inch projection to prevent freeze thaw damage. Wash should be cement mortar and can be concave to improve draft where practical.
Position of Room in Color Scheme
Harmony in decoration rests on blending colors. The room’s position influences the scheme. A dark outlook benefits from bright colors to attract light, while a bright room needs soft colors to reduce glare.
Structural Weight Reduction In Skeleton Frame Design
Fragment discusses greatly reducing wall weight on a skeleton frame to save structural steel or reinforced concrete, and easing demands on the supporting foundation. It notes the effect on overall frame efficiency and potential construction benefits.
Sun Room Brightens With Tile Design
Tiles make the sun room cheerful and attractive by adding color and texture. They suit any plan by owner or architect and endure with easy maintenance. A tiled floor in any shade or design complements furnishings and flowers while resisting stains and wear.
