You'll find a scene like this in nearly every village town
and city throughout the country Burma hopes and dreams of everyone.
There's a home they can call their own home brings a sense of security to a man
and to every woman her home means a setting for gracious living.
How do I know well I'm a contractor
and over the years I've helped a lot of people realize their dreams building new
houses and remodeling old ones too.
And probably the most important step because the one these young people are going
through right now in the hands of moving them around here in the kitchen baking
to continue children teen life.
Yeah the children and children say how many you planning on not more than sex.
I hope. Maybe I better add a few morons back here.
Then tell me
when you have shall be a crisis banking on your own darling it's going to be tough
to see you. That's right.
It's the planning that makes all the difference between happiness
and headaches as the years go by. For instance.
Have you two decided what material to use on the outside world.
Would provide a number of possibilities or you might choose stucco
or brick
or stone all of these materials have been adapted for sidewall use for hundreds of
years
but suppose we look at a material designed especially for side walls funeral
or industrial research is given us a lot of materials designed to do a specific job
that are made to blend huge
and instant
and then nylon materials which make fabrics more beautiful
and easier to care for the natural ones
and new plastic materials like this are light strong
and durable industry to what has created new materials for the home.
Today's floors for example are made of a modern resilient material which is more
colorful more durable and easier to clean
and science also created asbestos cement roofing which is made building safer
and more durable this material available in many types
and colors is not only attractive
but fireproof to this same kind of scientific thinking was applied to the problem
of side walls for the homes of America in the development of a better siding
material riches specifications were set up.
It must be attractive easy to handle adjustable to architectural design
weather proof and rock proof.
Furthermore it must be safe from the hazards of fire
and above all free from constant maintenance expense.
It was natural that the scientists would turn to asbestos for this is a.
Kaboul mineral actually stone.
It is made up of tiny but extremely strong
and flexible fibers combined with Portland cement these fibers act as a
reinforcing agent just as steel rods are used to reinforce concrete being stolen
asbestos will not burn in fact it is best known for its use in all fields of fire
protection
and to the great success of asbestos combined with Portland cement in the roofing
field made a natural choice in research for a better siding sold from long
testing and experiment that came asbestos some inciting strong and tough.
It could be handled and applied like ordinary shingles.
It was given every conceivable test it was absolutely fire safe
or even a torch couldn't burn it
and water couldn't harm it it withstood all kinds of weather sun when the snow
and sleet this machine called a weather ometer in a few days duplicates years of
weather conditions this material won't rot or decay.
So it doesn't need paint to preserve it.
However it can be painted if the homeowner desires laboratory tests are only half
of the story the actual use of this material on Holmes over the years is the final
convincing proof here is an asbestos siding shingle nearly fifteen years old
and here is a brand new one as you can see the old Chinglish still attractive.
Still as strong and sturdy as the day it was made in fact it is actually denser
and harder
and so as best as cement took its place with other sidewall materials would break
stucco. And stone
and because this material was created specifically for the job of home building it
not only combines the advantages of the other materials
but makes possible important economies in building
and maintenance cost from the standpoint of appearance this type of sidewall
creates new and pleasing effect
but its use is not confined to new construction here it is being applied to an old
home right over the existing side walls under the critical eye of an application
contractor a specialist in modernisation these application contractors using
great talent
and imagination are turning old houses often eyesores into beautiful
and gracious homes the side walls have no limitation as to styles size
or geographical location for example.
This is what would very gardens development in Long Island where wide use of
asbestos to mention girls is made
and here in the Southern homes development these colorful side walls
and beauty to the community this contemporary home shows how modern asbestos
materials can be adapted to any style
or design notice now the asbestos cement side walls help add dignity
and charm
and this is the best two hills development in St Louis here in the heart of the
Midwest amid the rolling foothills of the Ozarks how citing is subject to extremes
of heat and cold and here in Glasgow village.
Neither high humidity
nor winter ice affect walls covered with asbestos cement siding.
Now let's move to California.
This is the Eldorado Ranchos development in Southern California these homes reflect
the colorful west coast trends as best as cement side walls are either.
Deal here where they come in many colors that are rich in tone colors
that will stay beautiful for a lifetime
and one of these walls will never need protected painting they can be painted if
the owner should ever desire a new color scheme
and so it is from New York to Los Angeles from Miami to Seattle in every
climate in every community this new sidewall has brought better homes to get a
better idea of what people in the building business think of asbestos cement side
walls.
Let's visit Mr Randolph Evans a nationally known architect Mr Evans.
What do you think of asbestos cement siding as a sidewall for the homes you
designed. I like it very much. If it is waiting for a long time.
Finally modern recession has come up with a color and a texture
that is just as modern in its contemporary as the how it is
that we are trying to do to combat it with a vertical siding to get a balance
and here on the small hours to horizontal lines.
I used to emphasize that with the house.
This is a very popular type of ranch house.
No other material would look as well on this type of house as asbestos cement
siding.
This is definitely a contribution to the Omagh it's durable it's attractive
and it's low in maintenance cost of thank you Mr Evans And now let's go to
Levittown a modern garden community in Long Island New York a community designed
for modern living and here we find another authority.
Mr Norman Denny vice president for materials of Levitt
and Sons builders of Levittown Mr Denny.
We see that your using its best to cement siding on your homes
and you tell us why yes the sidewalls help us create this tanker
and attractive home our customers like
that we've sold more than seventeen thousand homes here in Levittown
and in this business a very important point is to take your cost right down to the
bone this type. Sidewall is not only good if economical too and more important.
It helps us keep on schedule.
It has a long life and a low cost of maintenance and first last
and always our customers like that
and what they like we like Thank you Mr Denny
and now let's talk to still another person.
This is Mrs Adams and this is an image. We've been admiring your new home.
Well it's not so new. In fact it's it's over thirty years old.
However we did have a new Steigerwald put out about ten years ago the Tillis Mrs
Adams what has been your experience with these asbestos cement side was Well we've
been very pleased you know that my husband got an F.H.A.
Loan they have the job done. Figure is that.
Let me say by not having to pay the wrongs every few years has more than paid for
the new siding and it certainly has improved the value of the place.
So we're not thinking of selling mines you know.
Well I like the looks of it and it's never given us any trouble at all.
And so it is all over the country
or business buildings
and apartments for Farmall.
And building for churches for remodeling.
For big houses
and cottages the people who use asbestos cement siding report with satisfaction.
It keeps home snug and tight against all kinds of weather.
It gives real protection against the hazards of fire for example here is a home
protected with asbestos cement side walls
that withstood the intense heat of this brushfire
and skate on the norm
and so we suggest you consider this material for the lulz of your home designed to
last a lifetime trouble free lifetime
limit is subjective. Yes it'll stay that way too. That's what I like about it.
Here is cement goes for all who plan to build a new hole
or modernize an old one for here like your modern plastics like your asbestos
roof like your modern floor covering is a material made of courting to claim
a product developed to meet your needs
and designed for a lifetime of beauty the
ruling company was the first to make asbestos cement shingles for use exclusively
on side was these homes built with rubber I'd side was are all over twelve years
old. You'll notice that they're still fresh and attractive
and incidentally they're all quite today's home builders however are color
conscious with new production methods
and techniques with a real concept of color and style.
While asbestos cement side walls have become an important element in exteriors home
design and here is the newest
and most exciting development in the entire sighting field ruber Oh it's amazing
new color green sidewalls.
Notice the richness the warmth the charm of the sidewalls notice to the exclusive
below tone colors.
These were decorated designed for Oberoi by one of the nation's leading color
consultants these distinctive grain textured dual toned shades bring modern colors
starting within the reach of everyone the selection of rich colors unable to anyone
to be his own exterior decorator makes possible effect found only in the most
expensive homes note these colors produced by an exclusive new process.
This is the distinctive marks green notice the natural appearing texture so closely
resembling what shakes
and here is a rustic brown color green shingle see how the textured finish abs
richness
and depth to the shingle this is Birch grey the darker tone in the values of the
texture gives the dual tone shading which makes this siding outstanding
and this is the mission ivory shade so perfect for modern ranch house styles.
Notice how the straight grain finish with its highlight
and shadow with fact makes vertical joints invisible is these distinctive grain
texture dual tone shades bring modern color styling within the reach of everyone.
Yet the charm and beauty of the sidewalls are achieved by more than a color
and texture
that is built into the shingled it comes in part from the striking shadow line
which adds so much to the appearance.
This too is an exclusive patented rubber oid feature to get this effect the
applicator first installs the specially designed.
And asphalt shatter wedge weather strips.
They provide a tight weatherproofing seal for the war.
I felt backing is not needed.
Now
when the siding is nailed in place the lower edge of each Ingle is raised about a
quarter of an inch.
This produces a heavy Shadowline similar to those found with clapboard
or double course wood chain goads.
The same effect can be gained by using a tapered would strip or would last.
The backing of course is used in this case.
These would strips provide an ideal milling base for applying aspects deciding over
non wood cheating without the use of special fasteners.
Not the pleasing effect the combination do tone chain goes
and the distinctive shadow wage method of application bring a new concept of beauty
to today's homes.
And of course because they're made of asbestos amende they're practically
indestructible. And here's another rubber
or an asbestos cement product they started a stone wall board made for lifetime use
with new colors new styling new texture Ching those you too can be an exterior
decorator whether you wish to bring new beauty to old sidewalk
or to create a truly modern beautiful new home.
