PRTSSURE TREATED LUMBER
use in the House of Good Taste include:
(I) New oil-finish teak Craftwall paneling.
(2) New cinnamon cherry Forestglo pre' finishing paneling. (3) Architectural grade walnut paneling. (4) Plywood wall and roof sheathing.
Weyerhaeuser is one of the first wood product firms to produce dry framing lumber to the more exacting specifications, and construction of the exciting HGT idea homes at the Fair brought the very first use of the material. The new framing lumber provides hidden-value to contribute to low-maintenance, comfort and lasting beauty of the home.
By contract, the handsome prefinished hardwood panelings were chosen to be exhibited prominently, the warmth and beauty to contribute to the gracious interiors, the wear-resistant finishes to provide freedom from care.
The delightful home of modern design is by Architect Edward Durell Stone of New York City. Architect Stone, who is best known and acclaimed lor outstanding public buildings including the Cultural Center in Washington, D. C., and the Museum of Modern Artin New York, agreed to design the modern house as one of the few homes he creates each year.
Gtass Dome
The plan is based on a central room which is brightly skylit from above through a 22-foot glass dome. This home provides architecturally dramatic space with completely private and controlled environment. Screened courtyards at each of four corners of the generally square plan afford intimate garden views from every room.
All walls of the study are to be of teak Craftwall. Its subtle color variation from tawny yellow to brown is newly favored both for paneling and furniture. The wood is imported from Burma. Random grooves in panels add interest. The finish, complete' ly new by Weyerhaeuser, is the first to embody the low luster of penetrating oil and the high stain resistance and abrasion resistance of a supreme quality resin pro' tective surface.
This paneling is an advanced wood prod' uct. It is far thicker (7 /16" rather than y4") than other quality plywood panelings, thus providing greater sound insulation and permitting installation without costly backitrg.
For the master bedroom, new cinnamontoned cherry Forestglo prefinished paneling will provide a luxurious backdrop for fur' nishings. This cinnamon hue adds an extra hint of brown to the characteristic red' brown of natural cherry; again, the soft' sheen synthetic resin finish of hand'rubbed appearance is highly resistant to wear or other damage.
