ANOTHER VIEW OF BOY'S BEDROOM IN SHOWROOM Wood Panel Planning Pays Off In Beauty An important item in many ome building or remodelling plans, this year, will be the wood panelled room -- a finished fam- #ly room, living room or den. At the outset, planning to panel & room presents a major prob- jem in selecting the right panell- ing from the wide variety on dis- play in the building supply show foom, A staff designer for a U.S. ply- wood firm has offered the follow- ing hints on making ihe selection. First, prefinished panelling has many advantages. Finishing your own panelling is not only expen- sive and time consuming, but has uncertain results, . A factory applied finish, for only a few dollars more than an- #imished panelling, is comparable with that on the finest furniture, It is also easy to maintain, with an occasional wipe down with a damp cloth and infrequent wax- ing. Since it is a permanent finish, its initially higher cost over paint-on-plaster or wall paper will more than pay its own way during years in which no refinish- ing or repairing is necessary. Second, prices for panelling vary widely. There are a num- ber of low priced "textured' woods. These are woods from whieh the softer Spring growth has been scoured out of the grain, creating three - dimensional pat- terns, with a driftwood effect. Among the colors available are: frosted ebony, silver - grey, havan green and fawn Cherry, walnut and oak are among the woods of higher price, with their traditional popularity creating a comparative scarcity, Third, a major consideration in selecting panelling, should be the use to which the room shall be put For a children's room, which will take hard usage, for example, one of the textured woods, designed for hard knocks, might be advisable; for a master bedroom, perhaps color styled, in one of the new decorator colors -- coral rose, biscayne blue, sher- wood green or dove grey; for a formal living room reflecting traditional warmth and a feeling of substance, it may pay to go into the higher range for oak or walnut. Four, in selecting the variety of wood, consider whether the room to be panelled has plenty of OSHAWA WOOD - PRODUCTS LTD. on the opening of your new plant and showroom STAR VALUE PRODUCTS OSHAWA WOOD PRODUCTS LTD IS HEADQUARTERS FOR: JOHNS - MANVILLE 7 STAR VALUE BUILDING MATERIALS J-M SPINTEX INSULATION J-M ASPHALT SHINGLES J-M INSULATING BOARD PRODUCTS J-M ASBESTOS FLEXBOARD light, If natural lighting is bright, Ah important item in many home building or remodeling plans this year will be a wood paneled room, Selecting the "right" paneling from the wide variety on display in the lumber dealer's show room, however, presents a major problem. Here are hints from the United States Plywood Corporation for making your selection: Prefinished paneling has many advantages. Finishing your own paneling is not only expensive and time - consuming, but results are also uncertain, Most finished panels are easy to maintain with an occasional damp - cloth - wipe - down, and an infrequent waxing. And, since finishes are permanent, its ini- tially higher cost over paint-on- plaster or wallpaper will more than pay its own way during years to come. A major consideration in select- ing paneling should be the use to which the room will be put. For a children's room, which will take hard usage, one of the fex- tured woods -- designed for hard knocks -- might be advisable, For a master bedroom, panel- ing in one of the new decorator colors would be lovely. For a formal living room reflecting a feeling of substance, it may pay to choose higher priced oak or walnut, 4 In selecting the variety of wood, it is advisable to consider whether the room to be paneled it may be panelled with one of the darker woods such as ma- hogany or walnut. If the room is naturally dark, a lighter wood may be indicated, such as oak, Korina or Dove Grey Samara. Five, take furniture into con- sideration. If you will use furni- ture you already own, make sure the panelling does not clash, It is often possible to instal panelling of the same wood as the furni- ture, If new furniture is to be pur- chased, it may match or compli- ment the wood in the paneHing. Important Item In Remodelling has plenty of light. If natursl lighting is bright, it may be pan- eled with one of the darker woods such as mahogany or wale nut, if the room is naturally dark, a lighter wood may be indicated. If you will use furniture yom already own, make sure the pan eling does not clash. It is often possible to install paneling of the same wood as your furniture, If new furniture is to be puse chased, it may match or come plement the wood in the panel ing. Many woods have overtones of red, pink, yellow or brown which may clash with pre-conceived color schemes. On the other hand, it is now possible to obe tain the luxury of a fine hard- wood grain tinted in a color around which a decorating scheme may be planned, There are several panel styles from which to select. V-Plank, with grooves cut into the face vertically to give a random plank effect, is especially good for large areas and for somewhat informal types of interiors. Colonial V- Plank gives a decidedly Early American effect because of the pegs inserted above and be- low horizontal V-grooves which are spaced like those in old peg planks, The standard panel, usue ally 4x8' in dimension, fits most applications, formal or informal, Wood paneled walls reflect the warmth and prestige which mosé of us prize so highly in our sure roundings. They are a lifetime investment and should be cone sidered as carefully as the pure chase of a fine piece of furni- ture. ~ rr ---- DID YOU KNOW? The forests of tomorrow ase the seedlings of today.
