Plans
Interior Design viii
Affect Exterior

The type of interior plan. Sc
fected necessarily modifies the eX-
terror design of the house, and the
placement of the house on the lot
has a similar bearing on its out
ward appearance. according to Of
ficialS of the Federal Housing Adj
miniStration.
Many types of traditional design
require a balanced floor plan. A
colonial plan. for example, is gen.
orally designed around a central
hall. The two main rooms, the liv-
ing room and dining room, are
placed on either side of the hall at
the front of the house. This prac-
tice permits the architect to bal
ance the number of windows on
each side.
Whatever the type of exterior
design selected, it should be
changed and modified to fit the
desired floor plan. If large win
dowS are needed for light airy
rooms, it will not be possible to
use true replica of architectural
types that require small windows.
1t is wiser, FILA officials say. to
change the exterior design in such
way as to obtain the features
desired rather than TO modify the
interior plan.

Roofs
Consider Appearance
and Durability

The roof of a house should be
considered from the standpoint of
appearance and durability.
According to the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, the ideal roof
is one that is permanent, protec-
tive, attractive, and INTELLECTUALLY
in character with the structure.
Roofs in poor repair detract
from appearance and constitute
one of the most annoying and
damaging sources of home de-
terioration. A leaky roof is soon
felt throughout the entire house
in dampness of ceiling and walls,
damage to wallpaper or paint,
loosening or falling plaster, and
often actual damage to home
furnishings.
OF all home defects faulty roof
deserves prompt attention.
When regular inspections are
made of the home TO determine
where repairs should be made, the
owner should begin with the roof
Metal roofs should be examined for
spots that have rusted or where
the paint has peeled away.

Utility Rooms Add
To Convenience

First-floor utility rooms for
storage, laundry and other pur-
poses add to household conven-
fence and are often economical 10
build. A minimum size utility
room requires slightly more floor
area than a basement stairway.
Placing this room between the
kitchen and the bathroom con-
centrates the plumbing installa-
ton and permits location of the

Easy to Wash
NeD Style Windows Aid
Cleaning

Ever wonder why it is that your
car windshield can be washed sc
quickly and easily by the service
station attendant?
The answer. according 10
Maurice Goldenberg. local sales
of the Truscon Steel
Company. is that the glass is held
in a fiat, smooth frame Of steeI
which is so trim and so nearly
flush with the surface of the pane
itself that it's no more trouble
to clean the corners than to polish
the broad surface.
Much the same advantage is &c
be found. Goldenberg points out
in the new double-hung, or up.
and-down opening" type of resi-.
Dental windows that are now
available in steel.
THE average american
house." he said, has from Is to
80 windows. The good housewife
likes to keep them all looking
bright and shining. Yet anyone
who has ever washed windows
knows that IL isn't a simple task.
Even the ordinary window
with single. unobstructed panes
In top and bottom sash sections
has total OF eight corners from
which to ferret the dirt. As for
the windows with muntins, those
cross bars which divide the glass
into small panes and lend the
decorative appearance 10 the
windows used with Colonial and
Georgian types OF architecture,
the number of corners to be
cleaned may be multiplied by six
or eight more.
-Four possible arrangements
OF the glass panes are available
In the new steel windows made
by Truscon. One type Is with
out muntin bars at all. A second
type has horizontal muntins In
both top and bottom sash. A
third type IL made with hori-
zontal and vertical muntins In
the top sash only. The fourth
type combines horizontal and
vertical muntins In both top and
bottom sash.
"But whatever the combina-
ton of muntins, the ease of
washing the window panes Is I'M
impaired. These fiat steel bars,
as well as the outer steel frames
of the window, are so nearly
flush with the surface OF the
glass itself that there Is no tire
some digging into corners to
get the dirt out"
