Prefinishing saves contractor g4 per opening edged benefit was achieved recently, McKeon reported, with installation of Roberts' new mirrored bi-fold doors in 76 single residence units at Blue Ridge Terrace in Sylmar, Calif.

Because the bi-folds are factory pre-finished on both sides, the contractor saved approximately $4 per opening in paint costs alone.

"Pre-finished doors eliminate the need for sizing, paint finishing, delay for drying time, trimming and touch up. In addition,,, McKeon continued, "women especially ap- preciate the decorative appearanrce, as well as the convenience of full-length mirrored doors in their bedrooms. The mirror panels can be so easily adjusted to provide fulllength front, back, and side-viewing.,, Roberts' minored bi-folds are available in three distinct styles: the fulllouvered Vogue (shown in photo above), the halflouvered Patrician, and the flush-style Moderne.

New Hordboord Ponels Added to Royolcofe Line

Two innovations in hardboard are being introduced this month by Masonite Corp. with its new Pecky Teak and Diplomat Paneled Walnut additions to the Royalcote line of decorator wall panels.

Pecky Teak is the first embossed woodgrained hardboard on the market, the company said, while Diplomat Paneled Walnut is the first hardboard developed with a "bookmatched" grain pattern.

Somewhat lighter than Masonite's present Royalcote Teak, new Pecky Teak is a rich medium brown, "warm and woody,' in appearance. Random grooves and color-coordinated fissures give the panels a patina of aged and mellow teak,

Offered in 4 by 8 ft. size, Pecky Teak is ideally suited for high-style decor in such

Diplomat Paneled Walnut areas as -dining and living rooms, foyers, accent walls and dens.

Diplomat Paneled 'Walnut, in comparison, is a contemporary designed panelirrg of ocroBEr, t965 completely natural walnut tones' It features "bookmatchedt' grain patterns with a "mirrored" repetition at 16 in. intervals. Deep half-inch wide black grooves at each 16 in. segment give the appearance of planked paneling set out from the wall in relief.

The new type walnut panels are ideal for professional, commereial, institutional and office interi6rs where a clean, uncluttered contenporary rnotif is wanted, as well as living areas of the home. The product is offered in 4 ft. widths and lengths of ?, 8, and 10 ft.
