Teco lo Mork SpeciolNoils
Timber Engineering Company (Teco) has announced that it is now marking with a "T" the heads of all special nails used with the tfirm's extensive line of framing anchors and joist hangers,
The move is intended to (1) assist builders in making certain they are using the correct nails, (2) facilitate job inspection by building inspectors and (3) give greater confidence to architects, and engineers that the products they specify will be purchased and used as intended.
Where design loads are predicated on the use of nails in shear, Teco has consistently followed a policy of packing special nails with its fasteners. To effect a lower selling price, some fastener manufacturers leave it to the user to procure nails, which means that there is a strong possibility of the w:nong'size nails being used. Most engineers and architects consider this a risky practice fcr it could lead to the recommended design Ioads not being realized in actual applicatio-n. It is Teco's belief that, in cages where the value of the fastener is dependent upon the nail in shear, the nail should be considered a- p?rt of the product and therefore sup- plied as such by the manufacturer.
A listing and description of nails used *ith Teeo preducts is eontained-in'thofrrrt's free comprehensive L}-page catatog.
Each display contains twenty cartridges -four each of five difrerent sealants. Spouting Seal, an aluminum colored nitrile rubber sealant; tsedding Seal, butadiene rubber aluminum mastic cement; Permanent Sealer, no-sag. nitrile aluminum sealant; Flashing Seal, a nitrile rubber base sealer, and Pan-L-Bond, designed for ap- plying 4'x8' wall panels permanently without nails.

A sauna basically is a wood-paneled, insulated room with a wooden bench and a special tylle of heater used to take the temperature up to 175 degrees or higher. Unlike a steam bath, the humidity in a sauna room is extremely low-the air is dry and comfortable, allowing the occupants to perspire freely. The efrect of this intdnsely dry heat is to relax tense muscles and speed circulation,
Saunas now are to be found in most health and swim clubs, and are becoming commonplace in hotels, motels, ski resorts, and even private homes. The recent advent of compact, low-cost domestic sauna heaters has placed the home sauna room well within the financial reach of most families. And, the basic simplicity of design of a sauna makes it a practical project for the home handyman of average skill.

"Frosty Oak" is the latest addition to Getz Bros. & Company's Beauti-Grain, VGrooved, prefinished paneling line. "Frosty" is one of four in the new oak-patterned series that also includes light, medium and dark tones.
The exclusive Getz BeautiGrain nrefinished process employs 100 percent Fnnip- pine rnahogany plywood stock and is said to be unique in a number of ways. "For one thing," according ta a Getz spoke-sman, ,,our process combines the natural warmth of Lauan with a dominant grain pattern, such as oak or walnut. The end result is a vibnant grain effect with all of the true wood character people want." He added that, "since the cost is just above that for prefinished Lauan, we feel it represents a remarkable value."
Paneling for a home or office wall area of 16' x 8' can be sold retail for about 930 with a good prorfit margin.
