Clinton News-Record, 1972-02-17, Page 122A-Clinton Nevin-Record, Thursday, February 17, 1972 Furniture industry recovery optimistic barometer for 4 72 Put together plywood furniture from a Ply * Plan New roof, walls and a new way of life surcharge, and, particularly the evident -change in the consumer buying attitudes are expected to maintain the industry's sales impetus at least well into the late spring of 1972, • Contributing to the industry's prospects is the sustained volume of Canadian furniture being shipped to the U.S.' despite the surcharge. According to at least one major Ontario manufacturer not only have export levels remained unaffected since the .pick-up in the late summer of 1971 but also are now on the increase. Factory shipments of Canadian furniture in the second half of 1911 along with current production projections for the new year indicate the industry's most dramatic recovery from any recessionary period since the end of World War IL According to industry estimates and surveys of exhibitors at Canada's annual national trade exhibition now underway at the Canadian National Exhibition, carryover production for fall and early winter retail ordering is still running from 20 to 50 per cent behind. With the added impetus of advance bookings at the Canadian Furniture Mart - usually generating sales in the $45 to $70 million range (at retail) - the industry as a whole appears to be an optimistic barometer for the Canadian economy as a whole in 1972. Full-year contract production bookings from major Canadian furniture chain and department stores are re-emerging after the doldrUms of, the 1969.71 period as volume dealers are beginning to hedge their inventories for what many believe to be an upcoming record sales year. Current large scale retail buying follows a frantic Christmas season during which furniture plants were simply unable to keep up with consumer demands. Projected increases in housing starts, the expected relief from effects of the U.S. import If you want a new way of -lip without leaving your own home, look into the many ways plywood can help you to alter and improve your present life style, For more space, an up- dated appearance, or simply for more comfort and convert, fence, plywood is most often the solution, Because it is strong and rigid plywood adds strength and re- duces nailing on most jobs. It's convenient size and light weight Make it easily handled by one man and plywood is available in sanded and unsanded grades to meet every need. In addition ?MHO EXTERIOR plywoods are manufactured with waterproof glue bonded under heat and pressure. Douglas fir and west- ern softwood plywoods bear- ing the PMBC EXTERIOR edge- mark will stand up to extremes of climate and use. Sanded plywood is Available in grades for fine cabinet work or grades to provide a smooth floor underlayment, Unsanded plywood is the quickest siinpl. est way to enclose a new addi- tion or build a new house. Ply- wood with a tongue and groove edge is best for roofs and floors where the tongue and groove can reduce costly and time consuming edge blocking. Probably the greatest advant- age of plywood is its versatility. From s i m p l e bookshelves through room remodelling pro. jects to house additions, PMBC EXTERIOR plywoods can help you to something new and dif- ferent. Look at the many ways plywood can help to change your way of life without leaving your own home. SottibyLVIstntitb.'il , Douglas Fir is the largest tree in Canada, It is known to reach heights greater than 300 feet with diameters up to fifteen feet, The trunk is straight and free of limbs for seventy feet and more. The heavy, strong wood produced from Douglas Fir trees is ideal for large size structural timbers, and is ob- tainable clear from defect for a wide range of other uses. Wood frame cuts Have you ever looked long- ingly at some nifty modern fur- niture in a store-only to be turned off by the price tag? Well take heart, help is avail- able, in the form of an easy, to-follow Ply*Plan for this modern sofa and chair, It's Childs play to build it, and you only need two sheets of 4x8 fir plywood (1.-1/z if you use webbing for the seats). The furniture was designed And built by a young interior designer, Leah Errington, B.I.D., specially for the Ply*Plan series produced by the Council of the Forest Industries of Brit- ish Columbia. In addition to the clean modern lines of the sofa and chair, its bolted construction makes it easy to disassemble when you move. You can just undo the bolts and use the cushions as packing, Upholstery firms will cut and cover the foam cushions to size, or you can just buy the foam and cover it yourself. Construction is simple. You mark out the pattern on the ply- wood as shown in the plan dia- gram, then start cutting. You can round the corners with a sabre-saw, or cut the pieces square, make some straight cuts across the corners and sand them to shape. Drill 14 in. holes in the sides for the bolts. Paint it, and presto, it's ready for use, You'll have attractive modern furniture that you can be proud of, and the additional satisfaction of building it your- self. Ask for the "Occasional Fur- niture" Ply*Plan at your build- ing supply dealer. He'll have it and dozens more for easy to build projects you can do your- self. building costs The following excerpts from a speech by John W. Poole, President of Dawson Develop- ments Ltd, of Vancouver, are of widespread interest to all Cana. dians concerned about housing, "The building industry is ac- cused of being behind the times, of using antiquated, obsolete methods. We don't apply modern management concepts, we're told. We should introduce assembly-line building systems. Some sources would have us believe that factory-built hous- ing is going to sweep the coml. ,try, Now this would have to be some hell of a material because , the cost of a stick-built wall, that is 2x4's, plywood, siding and gypsum board represents less than 10 per cent of the total price of the dwelling. If we re- place the conventional outside wall with nothing, which is hardly a practical idea, the most we can save is 10 per cent. The fact is that no system ever de- signed to replace the versatile 2x4 costs less. It costs more, Wall panel systems with hard- board facings, aluminum fac- ings, foam plastic cores, spacer cores, etc., all proved to be much more expensive than conven- tional stud and skin construc- tion. The result is that not one of them is on the market today. it is a well documented fact that all efforts to date to indus- trialize the shell of a house have been unsuccessful. The most spectacular result of this endeavour to industrial- ize wall panels is the growth in the production,. Arid, sale of mo- bile homes. A mobile home is -a truly industrialized unit. Car- pets are laid, even the furniture is installed in the plant and it costs less than a conventional house of the same size. This could perhaps be called a suc- cessful example of cost control by industrialization except for one thing, By any existing yardstick for housing the mobile hoop` is sub- standard. The significant point is that a conventional home will truly last a lifetime. If we look, not for the life of the unit, but just fifteen years down the road, chances are a conven- tional dwelling unit will be worth double its original cost, A mobile home in the same time period is virtually worthless. A lot of people buy mobile homes and will continue to buy them because they are shelter, and there isn't anything else at the price, but the mobile home industry is not intended to be, and cannot be, the answer to housing needs in this country. A number of people, convinced by the wide acceptance of mo- bile homes, believe that conven- tional housing units could be built on the same assembly lines as the mobiles. To some extent this has been done. Manufac- tured 'sections' , as they are called ,have been available for some time. But there is one major drawback to their use. In order to qualify for gov- ernment guaranteed mortgage financing, sectionals must be built to conventional specifica- tions. The result is that they are considerably more expensive than similar homes produced on site by volume builders, The .cold, hard fact is simply this. An efficient builder who knows what he is doing,, given a chance to mass produce hous- ing using conventional materials, by organizing his job, develop- ing an efficient system for mov- ing his material ,can still pro- duce housing substantially lower in cost than any industrialized technique known to date." What to look for when purchasing plywood Experts estimate that through wise and efficient management, the productive forest land of British Columbia will sustain a harvest three times greater than today, and still maintain an adequate supply 'of high- grade timber for years to come. a limited number of patches and minor sanding and patching defects, Plywood can be purchased Good Two Sides, Good/Solid, Good One Side, Solid Two Sides or Solid One Side, A Good or Solid One Side will have a 'C' veneer on the back which al- lows minor open defects, limited size knot holes and pitch pock- ets. These defects have no ef- fect on the panel's strength. In genera] Good Two Sides is used where a high quality paint finish is intended and where both sides of the panel will be exposed to view, e.g. partitions, cabinet doors. Where relatively good but riot exacting appearance is required, a Solid grade is used; Good/ Solid, Solid One , Side: or Solid Two Sides depending on whether or not both sides will be seen and the importance of the ex- posure. For instance a Good/ Solid grade is often used for kitchen cabinets where the in- terior finish is less noticeable than the exterior, Solid Two Sides is ideal for shelving or where an opaque paint finish is intended. For panelling, sof- fits, or sliding doors where one excellent surface is required, use Good One Side, Solid One' Side is ideal as an anderlay'for thin vinyl floors. All panels with 'A' or 'B' veneers on the face or back are sanded to a smooth uniform finish. Panels with 'C' grade faces or backs are left un- sanded for economy. Unsanded plywood, graded Sheathing or Select Sheathing, is used in structural applications such as roofs, walls and subfloors. Special use plywoods that the home handyman should know about are Marine grade, which has high quality 'B' veneers in its inner plies, and overlaid plywoods, Overlaid plywoods are manufactured with resin-fibre overlays which improve the ap- pearance and durability of the panel. Panels are designated High Density or Medium Densi- ty Overlaid according to the resin content in the cellulose fibres. Medium Density is used for any job requiring a super- ior paint surface. High Density Overlaid is ideal where a hard finish is required, e.g. table tops, signs, container tanks. Knowing plywood grades and quality will save you time and money. Douglas fir and western softwood plywood bearing the edgemark PMBC EXTERIOR are manufactured with fully water- proof glue meeting CSA specifi- cations. Canadians buy and use 1.5 billion square feet- of softwood plywood annually but some- times the jobs they do cost more than necessary.. or the finish doesn't meet their ex- pectations because they were unfamiliar with plywood types and grades when making their purchase. There are many plywoods manufactured throughout the world. There are also signifi- cant differences in methods of manufacture, species. of wood used, type of glue, and in the standards to which.' manufact- urers adhere. To manufacture plywood, thin layers or plies of veneer are glued together with each layer running at right angles to the one immediately above and be- low it, This cross lamination ac- counts for plywood'S exceptional two-way strength and dimen- sional stability. Each sheet of plywood has an odd number of layers so that the grain on the outside plies is parallel for a uniform appearance, Foreign manufactured soft- wood plywoods are available in two types: interior and ex- terior. Interior types are not suitable for conditions where moisture or humidity _are pres- ent, and even when manufact- ured with waterproof glue, ex- terior types graded according to the minimum U.S. standards do not meet the specifications of the Canadian Standards As- sociation, The specifications of the Can- adian Standards Association reg- ulate the manufacture of ply- wood. Only fully waterproof glue bonded under heat and pressure is acceptable to CSA standards, and they require that the quality of the plywood ve- neers be strictly controlled. Plywood veneers are graded into four categories. Using these categories in various combina- tions, twelve standard grades of plywood panels are produced and graded according to the quality of the surface veneers. The name of the grade often indicates its end use; i.e. marine, concrete form or sheathing grade plywoods, but the home handy- man will most often come upon the words 'Good' and 'Solid' as grades on the plywood he pur- chases, A 'good' side has a sur- face of 'A' veneer. This is the highest quality of smooth sound veneer free of knots, splits, pitch pockets or other open de- fects. A 'solid' grade of ply- wood has a 'B' surface veneer allowing sound tight knots, tight splits, slightly rough grain and Weight for weight, Douglas Fir is three times stronger than CLINTON ' rot Tai tlwe alat 1111•41111, • YOU COULD I. tl •.
