DFPA Sturd-i-Floor Cuts Time, Moteriqls

A new floor system that reduces the number of joists required by one-third, and that can be used without blocking, bridging or a separate underlayment layer, has been developed by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Called Sturd-i-Floor, the system is engineered to function with joists spaced on 24-inch centers instead of the usual 16inch centers.

In many cases, the only upward adjustment in materials required is to the new Underlayment Grade B/a-inch plywood panel which acts as a combined subfloor/ underlayment in the Sturd-i-Floor system. (When 25/32-inch wood strip flooring is to be applied, r/2-inch plywood subfloor is an adequate base, provided strip flooring is laid across joists.)

All blocking can be eliminated by using the new DFPA-engineered tongue and groove joints for 8/u-inch plywood. The Douglas Fir Plywood Association lists these panels as suitable for Sturd-i-Floor construction 3/n-inch Underlayment Grade (Douglas Fir or WSP Groups I or 2) ; 3/n-inch PlyScord (Douglas Fir or WSP Group 1; or C-D grade, WSP Group 2 only) ; ov t/r-inch PlyScord with 25/32' inch wood strip flooring across joists.

When the joist spacing is increased to 24 inches, it may be necessary to increase the joist size or grade, although sometimes neither increase is required. For example, in a house 28 feet wide, allowing for the width of edge and center bearings, there may be two clear spans of 13 feet, 6 inches. The FHA-MPS Span Tables show Standard grade Coast Douglas Fir 2 x 10s would be required whether the joists spacing is 16 or 24 inches.

In the same way, a 34-foot house with two clear spans of 16 feet,6 inches, would require Coast Douglas Fir 2 x 12 joists of Standard Grade for either the 16 or 24' inch spacing.

In other cases, upgrading lumber from Standard to Construction Grade is all that is required-the higher grade permits the use of the same size member.

The savings inherent in the system are obvious: The price o1 t/, of. the joists is saved as well as the cost of installing them, blocking and underlayment are eliminated. Bridging is eliminated, if local codes per' mit.

Even greater savings would accrue:

1. In high labor cost areas.

2. In applications where no increase in joists size is required for the 2{-inch spacing.

3. Where hardwood striP flooring is used extensively.

Figures recently released by the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association disclosed that for the past two years Southern California has run second only to the enure European Economic Community (EEC) in imports from Japan. Dollar volume of imports from Japan over Los Angeles and San Diego docks has grown from $52,000,' 000 in 1955, to $176,300,000 for 196I.

Japanese exports to EEC countrres ln 1961, came to $212,700,000 and prehminary figures for the first seven months ot this year indicate that Southern California will continue to narrow the gap further in 1962.

Of all items received through the Los Angeles Custom District during the years 196O and 1961, imported hardwood plywood and veneers led the 35 commodity group with a $10,173,822 valuation. Closest runner-up on the list was transistor radios with a valuation ol $8,924,282.

With the Administration continuing to press for a more favorable balance of trade to bolster the Nation's ailing gold reserves, it is interesting to note that U.S. produced goods valued at $251,800,000 were shipped to Japan through the Los Angeles Custom District during 1961. In other words, for every $I00 imported from Japan, the district exported $143 in goods back to Japan.
