When is a square MORE than a square?

Four bundles of Red Cedar Shingles are known as a "square" because these four bundles, when laid at standard roof u.eather exposure, u'ill cover 100 square feet of roof area.

However, rvhen shingles are appliecl Double-Coursed on si<lervalls, four bundles will t:over considerablv more than 100 square f€et, because of the wicler weatl.rer exposures u,hich are permissibie. (Thus, less than 3lbundles of 16-inch shingles, laid DoubleCoursed 12 inches to the u'eather as recommended, u'ill cover 100 square feet. Slightly more than 3 bundles of l8-inch shingles, Double-Coursed 14 inches to the u'eather, are required.)

The fact that fewer shingles are needed is one reason for Double-Coursing's economy. r\nother in-rportant reason is th:rt one-half of the shingles used-those rvhich go on the inner :rnrl completely concealed course-may be the economical No. 2, No. 3 or No. ,l grades, the outer course usually consisting of pre-stainerl or untreated No. 1 or No. 2 grade shingles.

These two factors-fer,ver and less costly shingles-account for the remarkable economy of a Double-Coursed sidewall. Send f or free Double-Cour.ring blucpri,nt. zlddress
