Shutter line Adds Coloniol Sfyle

In line with the current popularity of Colonial styling in homes, the'Weathermate line of vinyl-covered styrene shutters has been expanded to include a Colonial raised panel style.

The new addition was announced by New

Vinyl-Covered Styrene Shutters in Colonial Style Castle Products, which also produces three different Modernfold liues of folding doors and room dividers for residential use.

The decision to produce the Colonial style 'Weathermate was due to the broad accept- ance and demand indicated by builders who were shown a prototype of the new style at the Modemfold booth during the exposition held in connection with the recent annual meeting of the National Assoeiation of Home Builders in Chicago. fire Colonial finish is available in white' or black and is being ofrered in a full range of 'sizes for standard windows and entrances, from 36" to 79" long and 16" wide.

The pre-ffnished Weathermate is built to give lasting, maintenanrce-free service. trt will not dent, warp, rot, blister or peel and ne€d never be painted. However, if a color drange is desirable, it can be easily painted, since its vinyl finish gives a good bond and prevents moisture from penetrating and pushing ofr paint.
