Number 2 Common Oak Flooring

Washington, D. C., April 14, 1949-If number 2 common oak flooring were substituted for the higher grades of flooring in low-cost homes, savings up to 20 per cent of the cost of flooring might be realized, a group of Federal housing experts were informed in Washington yesterday (April 13).

Representatives of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, Federal Housing Administration, and of Public Housing Administration heard Mr. R. A. Colgan, executive vice president of National Lumber Manufacturers Association state this at NLMA headquarters here.

The Federal housing men were inspecting trvo sample panels of number 2 oak flooring at NLMA offices. The samples were prepared to give HHFA and other officials an opportunity to see what economy flooring looked like.

Leonard G. Haeger, director of the Division of Standardized Building Codes and Materials of HHFA, commented:

"We were interested in seeing this example of No. 2 Common Oak as used for flooring. While such flooring is acceptable under FHA standards, when properly selected and used, we believe further study of it as a potential source of more wide-spread savings in moderate priced housing is warranted."

The flooring was prepared for display by National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association and the Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc.
