Wood House Now Can Be
Fire-Safe and Insulated

Making a wood-frame house safe
from fire is problem that has oc.
cupied construction-conservationists
for many years. Despite the fire.
hazard inherent in the atwood
house. experts have been reluctant
to abandon the best parts of it be
cause Of the many excellent fea.
lures it possesses. Among these are
ease of erection, adaptability and
relative cheapness.
The solution finally has been
found in what has come to be
known as protected frame con-
struction," which is analogous to
protected steel construction. And
the system is simplicity itself, Where
combustible wood sheathing was
used over the wood frame an in.
combustible sheathing of mineral
lumber now is used. On the in
side of the frame a rock lath is
used as base for plaster instead
of tinderlike wood lath.
This protects the wood frame
both inside and out. To stop UP
and fire-protect the space between
the inner and outer covering of the
wood frame. an incombustible dry
fill insulating material is installed.
The same insulator is installed be.
tween floors and under the roof
where 1t acts as a fire barrier and

Every feature that makes for easy

that it shall be dependable.
In addition to these considerations
the element of beauty makes a
strong appeal to the people OF this
age. Color schemes must be har-

In such a manner as to form rich
