Specific Advantages Of Palco Rustic

REDWOOD RABBETED BEVEL SIDING:

ls air-seasoned:

Air-seasoning for many months before being run to pattern removes most of the moisture from the wood slowly and naturally. This process dries the wood without stresses. Knots are held in place better and check less. Seasoning helps sustain the beauty of redwood's natural color. The reduced weight provides easy handling and significantly reduces shipping costs.

Has redwood's inherent characteristics:

1. Unique natural beauty with attractive grain and knots. Sapwood and heartwood together provide a pleasing color contrast.

2. Dimensional stability with minimum warping, cupping or checking.

3. A cellular structure that provides superior workabilityeasy sawing and nailing.

4. Superior finish-holding of stains and paints.

5. Decay and insect resistance of redwood heartwood make it very durable.

Resistance to damaging weathering effects.

Excellent insulator-'l " redwood has the same thermal insulation as 5.8" thickness of brick, 9" concrete block, 13.7" concrete. 1.706.0' aluminum.

Low flame spread rating, means more resistance to flame spreading than most other species of wood products.

Has top quality saw-textured surface:

Not just roughed up, the surface will hold stains and paints up to twice as long as many smooth surfaces.

Has exceptional thickness:

Manufactured with a hefty overall butt thickness, the exposed portion of the rabbeted butt is s/e"- much thicker than that of the traditional rabbeted sidings. Knots remain in place better than in thinner sidings.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS :

For sheathing use fiberboard, plywood, or lumber, etc. Rigid foam plastic sheathing can cause misperformance of wood sidings. Until the problems are solved, we have to recommend our siding not be applied over rigid foam plastic sheathing.

Use only corrosion-resistant nails to avoid staining of the wood: top quality hotdipped or hot-tumbled galvanized, or stainless steel nails. Nails must penetrate 11/2" into studs or 1lz" combination of wood sheathing and studs. lf sheathing is not solid wood, use long enough nails to penetrate studs 1%".

Spacing of Ve" for expansion clearance.

FINISHING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Palco's Rustic Redwood can be linished with a variety of appearances.

1. Stains: Oil-base semi-transparent stains, very popular, provide color but don't hide the grain, knots or texture. Oil-base opaque stains will usually obscure the grain and knots but not the texture.

2. Paints: Top coat can be either latex or oil base and must be applied over a compatible prime coat. Prime coat must be an oil or alkyd-resin base, or a stain-resistant latex base.

3. Water-Repellents: A non-pigmented water-repellent coating will minimize the darkening. The sur.face will become a buckskin tan. lf reapplied, water-repellent can keep the buckskin color; if not, driftwood gray will be reached in time.

4. Do not use shake and shingle paints, low lustre alkyd paints, or varnishes.

Hardboard Production

(Continued from page 24) products. We are presently learning how to adapt to that production on the equipment we now have. Of course, we will also maintain our position as a hardboard manufacturer. "

Less than a year ago, Evans introduced a new Dominion Line of prefinished, woodgrain-paper hardboard panels. The success of the new product line has been reported as unusually good. The initial seven designs are slated to be expanded to l0 or 12 before mid-1982.

The product is a paper overlaid hardboard which simulates a number of different kinds of woods. And while the hardboard industry is predominately oriented to l/4" thick panels, Evans pioneered and led the industry with the l/8" panel concept.

These hardboard panels are in- tended primarily for application over existing wallboard or other solid backing. They offer an advantage to the d-i-y homeowner with easy handling.

Home improvement dealers also experience an advantage in handling the panels since they require less storage space and are half the weight of standard hardboard panels. Point of sale handling is also claimed to be easier.

Evans Hardboard concentrates its marketing efforts West of the Mississippi River. At the present time, the Hardboard Division accounts for about l09o of the production on the West Coast.

Evans has been in the hardboard manufacturing business for 28 years. "The basic philosophy remains pretty much the same as ever: look for ways to serve the market, do it better and offer a more complete service in a long term customer relationship," says Hoffman.

Positive Discipline

A warning about job performance and possible dismissal can be positive if the manager maintains control of the situation.

Employees should be encouraged to talk. This way they usually disclose the true reasons for the misconduct. The manager should listen carefully without sympathizing.

The manager should act naturally, staying in character, whether he is normally tough or soft spoken. If a difference of opinion is involved, a compromise should be sought.

Reaction to discipline is usually more effective if the initial penalty is less harsh than expected. Performance often improves when the employee feels that management tried to correct the situation, not punish him.
