The Huron Expositor, 1960-06-16, Page 9Archit�ct's Unusual Design Frovides Four -Level Interior 1lfll', Gregor, Heads Investment Group 11101011 niin This four -level design by archi- tect John Bird, of Westmount, will be of particular interest to the prospective home owner seeking a roomy house with garage without requiring a very large lot. The interior plan, of the house has many attractive qualities. The combination family 'and dining room, the practical U-shaped work- ing area in the kitchen, the con- venient washroom and large living room make the plan appealing. The basement, which contains heating and storage areas, extends only under the living room. The bedrooms are eight steps up from the living room and the family room and kitchen seven steps be- low. The total floor area is 1,173 square feet and the exterior dimen- sions are 35 feet by 32 feet, six inches. Working drawings for the house, Design '762, may be obtain- ed from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. FAMILY ROOM •O1 `IN4 ROOM ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Good Fitting Doors and Window Help provide Interior Comfort This is the 21st in a series • of articles by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Fed- eral housing agency, on build- ing a house. Once the roof is on, the next step • is usually to install the win- dow and exterior door frames. However, no two buildings follow the same pattern rigidly. Schedul- ing of work is sometimes dictated by delivery of materials, some- times by the weather, or by the subcontractors who cannot always arrange their timetable to suit the builder. Frames and sash are usually or- dered during the early stages of construction, especially when they are made to specification. In or- dering the frames the builder will calculate the depth of the frame from the thickness of the finished wall. Window and exterior door frames for brick veneer construc- tion, for example, will not be the same depth as .framesused with wood siding or stucco finish. The builder must also take into account the type of interior finish called for in the specifications. Once the window frames are installed, or even after they have been order- ed, it is a little late to think of changing the interior wall finish. Ifl measuring for an exterior door frame the sole plate at the bottonp of the opening should be cut away. Some builders neglect to do this with the result that when the frame is installed, a step must .be hurdled to get over the threshold. The proper way of in- stalling the door frame is to have the top of the door sill flush with the finished floor. The saddle then fits flat over the edge of both. Windows come in a multitude of shapes and sizes. Most of them can be classified under one of four types: double hung windows, hing- ed windows, horizontal sliding win- dows and windows with fixed sash. Double hung windows have been used for many years. The sash is divided into two sections, top and bottom. In many cases both sashes can be raised or lowered, although the top sash is often fix- ed. There are several .types of hing- ed windows. Casement windows? also called French windows, have two sashes hinged on the side and opening left and right. 'They are normally built to open outwards. Other common types of hinged -win- dows are awning types that open outwards on specially designed sliding hinges, and basement win- dows which are usually hinged at the top. Hopper windows which are used in conjunction with fixed sash to provide ventilation are also hinge type. Horizontal sliding windows are becoming increasingly popular, and if carefully designed, are not drafty. - Fixed sash, particularly with windpws designed by architects, allow for better natural lighting. If a single pane covers a large sur- face, plate glass should be used wherever possible since it is less likely to produce distortion. Window fratnes or sash can be of either metal or wood, both hav- ing proven satisfactory. The choice depends largely on individual taste and the determining factor will. MAKE THEM FIT—Well adjusted window and door frames can mean a saving in fuel consumption. Doors and window sash should open freely but too wide a gap next to the frame can cause uncomfortable drafts. If wooden frames and sash are used they should be treated against moisture. often be the amount one is pre- pared to spend. However, a poorly built window, whether of wood or metal, is never a bargain at any price. If improperly seasoned wood is used or if the sash and frame are not assembled carefully, the initial saving may be nullified. Metal type windows usually ar- rive from• the supplier complete with storm sash. If the manufac- turer's instructions are followed, installation is simple. Further- more, there is little or no main- tenance involved. Wood window frames and sash, on the other hand, may be shipped in a semi -rough condition. Before being installed they should be giv- en a priming oat of paint or other acceptable preservative as a pro- tection at the factory, In areas where storm sash are a necessity, window arrangements that do away with the spring and fall chore of changing fly screens and storm sash are a modern in- novation that home -owners appre- ciate. Over the years they offer a considerable savings in home labor while eliminating the problem of storage.
