The demonstration is jointly sponsored by the U. S. Forest Service, HUD and APA.

Composite panels are combinations of veneer and reconstituted structural cores. The aim is to combine relatively low-value wood materials from logging and milling waste with veneer to produce higher-value building materials utilizing up to 90% of the log.

New composite building materials for both panels and studs offer the potential of greatly improving the supply of plywood and lumber for residential construction by substantially increasing the amount of usable wood products derived from a tree.

The 2,860 sq. ft. house has a floor of 314" composite underlayment panels glued to joists 24" o.c. The roof sheathing is of 7/16" composite panels attached to rafters 24" o.c.

Both floor and roof panels are being produced in Idaho by Potlatch Corp., which is playing a leading role in pioneering introduction of composite panels. The new products have been extensively tested by APA. Research has established that the composites can be used interchangeably with conventional plywood sheathing and underlayment.

Another demonstration house featuring both composite panels and Com-Ply studs was recently completed in Vancouver, Wa.

New G-P Marketlng Program

Georgia-Pacific Corp.'s new 1976 marketing program will emphasize a single source supply with the addition of new product lines to its extensive selection of wood and gypsum building materials at most company wholesale distribution outlets.

New product lines to be distributed include fiberglass batten insulation: resilient vinyl asbestos floor tile for industrial and institutional as well as residential flooring: roofing: brick; nails, and even polyethylene film. Ceiling tile, kitchen cabinets and carpeting are also being added. Most are already available at G-P local warehouses from coast to coast with selections seared to local markets.
