A new guide to installing particleboard and floor coverings for lasting beauty is now available from Weyerhaeuser Company.

The application instructions, which include step-by-step details both for an advanced method of glue-nailing the underlayment and conventional nailing (and staplirig), apply specifically to the firm's Versabord particleboard.

Weyerhoeuser Announces New primed Wood Siding to Cut Building Cosrs

.Starting April 1, Weyerhaeuser Company will produce a new primed wood siding to assure long-lasting beauty for the exterior of homes and bring lower building costs.

The superior baked-on prime coat will carry a money-back guarantee against blistering or peeling, the firm's first written warranty for this type of product.

Announcement of the new product was rnade by Alan T. Smith, Weyerhaeuser manager of softwood lumber products with Tacoma, Wash., headquarters. .,New primewood bevel siding has been developed expressly to nreet building needs," Smith said. "It is genuine wood siding, all vertical grain, with an improved-formula factory-applied primer that is compatible with all finish paints.

"The new primed wood siding will be priced to. cost less in place than substitute materials."

It will be supplied in lengths most convenient for builders to minimize on-the-job cutting and reduce application costs. "The new primer assures lower maintenance since it is a proved superior base for finish paints, is app'lied in uniform thickness and protects siding until final painting," Smith added.

The advanced building material is a direct result of the company's new marketing emphasis to "tailor products to customer demands rather than merelv oroduce commodi- ty lumber," according to the spokesman. It can be identified by its light bufi color and a continuous brand along the lap edge, a guideline that also speeds installation.

Priming of the selected wood bevel siding will be by a specially designed and highly automated plarrt at Longview, Wash., now ready for full production after rnore than a year of development operation.

The new siding will be packaged in units convenient to handle and store. 'Ihe protective wrapping of special polyethylene laminated paper is vapor-proof, water-proof, completely sealed against dust and displays the Weyerhaeuser mark of quality for added sales appeal.
