Blg Increose Reported In Porticleboord Use

Demands for particleboard, for use as ffoor underlayment in both residential and commercial building, have risen sharply in recent months, according to reports from the country's leading particleboard manufacturers.

"More and more builders and floor people are becoming aware of the extremely smooth surfaces and solid core offered by particleboard," pointed out W. W. Aftolter, general sales manager for Wood Fibreboard Company, at Albany, Oregon, one of the country's largest producers of wood-formed board.

One of the major reasons for the recent growing acceptance of particleboard as a floor underlayment is because it complies with FHA home insurance standards. In its "Use of Materials Bulletin UM-28," dated November, 1960, the Federal Housing Administration sanctioned the use of particleboard which conforms to the standards of the National Particleboard Association for floor underlaymeflt.

One major West Coast retail drug chain, Pay Less Drug Stores, has specified the use of Duraflake lJnderlayment, produced by Wood Fibreboard Company, in all of its new or remodeled stores.

Duraflake IJnderlayment, in addition to meeting the standards required by FHA and the National Particleboard Association, also is guaranteed in writing by the manufacturer. This smooth, sturdy and low moisture-absorbing board will not indent when used as underlayment. It is available in all standard underlayment thicknesses.

Duraflake Underlayment, as well as its furniture and woodworking counterpart, Duraflake, include the best features found in wood particle and flake boards. Wood Fibreboard Company's $1,750,000 plant at Albany, Oregon, is the first in the United States to use the famous German-developed Bison system. This method has been used successfully in Europe for many years, but was just introduced in this country in late 1960, when Wood Fibreboard Company began operations.

One of the features which make Duraflake and Duraflake IJnderlayment superior to other boards is their smooth surface. This is achieved through the Bison system, which ingeniously forms the boards with the larger wood flakes in the middle, progressively graduating these particlbs so the "fines" automatically form the top and bottom surfaces. This gives the board its exceptionally strong internal bond, as well as its extremely smooth surface.

In addition to Duraflake Underlayment, Durafllake is manufactured for use in cabinet work, single wall construction, closet doors, toys, furniture, tables, and kitchen counters. It will not telegraph through any veneer or chemically-impregnated papers, and is also available in a variety of thicknesses.

The unique formation of Duraflake Underlayment and Duraflake allows close machining of the edges, in the case of beveling, for example. Both boards have excellent nail and screw-holding qualities.

Duraflake is produced in one of the largest presses in the country, allowing panels as large as 5 by 1.6 feet, which permits a great latitude of sizes.

"Both grades of Duraflake board," according to Affolter, "are tested and approved by TECO Laboratories of the Timber Engineering Company of Washington, D.C., an affiliate since 1933 of the National Lumber

Manufacturers Association. It is recognized as one of the finest engineering organizations in the broad field of wood technology. A TECO Laboratory "quality control" technician is present every day in the Wood Fibreboard Company plant at Albany, when Duraflake and Duraflake Underlayment are being produced, to make sure the products meet rigid standards.

Heql Trsnsmission Reduced 73olo On Fibergloss Panels

A new process, called "Heat-Block," in the production of Ornyte Fiberglass Panels has reduced the unwanted solar heat transmission characteristics by as much as 73 per cent, according to Mr. Maurice Horn, vice president in charge of sales, Ornyte Division, Berdon, Inc.

The new fiberglass panels, reports Mr. lforn, are ideally suited for applications where heat transmission ,problems affect personal comfort or the full performance of cooling and air conditioning systems.

course. Available only to companies whose general management has had RMS training, the sales course costs $250 per man.

Richheimer emphasized that participants in the revised training program will receive all the materials distributed previously to graduates of the $2,000 course; the RMS General Management Manual, Price Book, Cost Book, Design Pak and other items. Similarly, all will be eligible for continuing RMS services, including showroom design, monthly advertising service, grand opening promotions, management consultation and supplementary training.

During the first day of the General Management Training program, the student is fully oriented in the organizalional methods employed by Richheimer Modernizing Systems. Also included on the opening day agenda are detailed discussions on the steps necessary to launch a remodeling operation, the management and organization of a typical remodeling job, and the use of the Design Pak, a drafting instrument that allows the salesman to illustrate the proposed home improvement.

On subsequent days, emphasis is on cost analysis, labor and materials for remodeling operations, how construction and production schedules are set up and fulfilled, and product knowledge and sales techniques needed to sell home remodeling. Five year bank plans, FHA plans for customer financing, and 30 year mortgage refinancing are also thoroughly discussed.

The concluding sessions are devoted to raising the ridge of a trussed-roof home, the importance of the urban renewal program to the home improver, as well as the RMS services that are available to the graduates of the program;

"Heat-Block," it was pointed out, varies with the panel color and its inherent ratio to light transmission. The color pink with Ileat-Block has a light transmission value of 2l per cent to 28 per cent, with heat transmission value of 27 per cent to 33 per cent; whereas white, a Heat Block color, has light transmission value of 56 per cent to 6l per cent with a heat transmission value of 31 per cent to 34 per cent, giving the best heat-tolight transmission ratio. Ornyte has 14 difierent stock colors to provide a complete range of light and heat transmission values to meet all needs,

Ornyte Fiberglass Panels are available in corrugated, flat, flat stock in rolls, and panels in lengths over 72 feet. Ornyte also has a color matching service.

Reichheimer Modernizing Sysfems, Inc., Offers Manogement Tnoining

Richheimer Modernizing Systems, whose training program has turned out more than 100 graduates from all parts of the country in the past six months, has announced plans for a greatly broadened effort.

The general management training program "will reach thousands, rather than hundreds" of lumber dealers, builders, spe- cialty contractors and others eager to enter the burgeoning home modernization field, Herbert Richheimer, founder and chairman of the RMS activity, explained.

The course for general management trainings is five and a half days. Cost is 9500.

In addition to the general management training program, RMS has developed, and has twice tested, a five-day sales training

In the Sales Training program, the greatest emphasis is placed on actual demonstration and performance by the student. It is based on the concept of acquainting the salesman with the available sales tools and teaching him how best to use them.

In conjunction with this, the student is first given a Design Pak and Price Book and is familiarized with a typical contract.

The remaining four days of the program are concerned with student demonstration of sales calls, presentations, the pricing and sketching of typical jobs, and writing up the sales contract. The student is also acquainted with consumer financing and the technical knowledge required for such jobs as extensions, attics, dormers, kitchens and basements.

"There is no SUBSTITUTE for EXPERIENCE!"

Cooperating informally under ti-re theme "Partners in Progress," the country's three leading plywood producers are participating in the new prefinishing program. In return for its technical t,raining and guidance, PWP will retain exclusive sales and distribution rights for the Satin-Tex oanels.

- The finish itself utilizes two thermosetting synthetic resins supplied by the O'Neil Duro Company of lVlilwaukee and Reliance Varnish Company of Los Angeles. Designed by Grenco, Inc. of Portland, the prefinishing line employs an infra-red drying oven which produces a baked-in finish described as ;'tli[nty resist,ant to heat, moisture, and abrasions."
