PRE-FINISHED ALUMINUM SI1JIN<, in brown cedar shake style restored this old house and eliminated need for periodic paiting. Liglter color aluminum trim and accessories (siffit, fascia, gutters, down- spouts, shutters, storm windows and doors) contrast attractively with darker iding. New colora and tex- tutres, haked into the aluminum panels, last up to 40 years. Photo: Ahuinmum Association. Brealthrough Mn prefinished siding... Newfi colors and rich textures add beauty, No matter what the period, style or wall surface of your home, extenior decoration is no longer limited to increas- ~iWgy expensive painting cy- Pre-finished siding has corne of age, and whether the house is Victorian, Colonial or contemporary, there's a siding to match it. Color breakîh r"egh The biggest news, particu- larly in aluminum siding, is the wide range of colors and textures now available. Shades of brown, green, blue, ivory, avocado, red and the earth tones are beginning to rival the ever popular white finish. E-mbossed textures range n, Wednesday, October l8th, 1978 from a smooth finish to repli- cas of almost evelry style wood finish, even cedar shakes. These styles and paints are often guaranteed for 20 to 40 years, while maintenance is reduced to a minimum. Pre-finished siding also provides other design alternatives - horizontal panels to accentuate the long, low lines of a ranch house, vertical panels to break up a too-long horizon- tal swveep, or accent the gable ends of a colonial home. Trim and accessories, such as corner posts, columns, soffit, fascia, gutters and downspouts, are available to match the siding. If yours is an older bouse that boasts prized detail, aluminum fittings can most often be formed to duplicate them. Even gingerbread on a Victorian treasure can be re- finished to blend with the new siding and look perfectly at home. New "charm," Far from diminishing the character of older houses, aluminum, properly in- stalled, can help retain their charm with the added be- nefits of reduced mainte- nance. While pre-finished siding also comes in vinyl plastic, hardboard and steel, alumni- num offers the widest range of colors, styles and acces- sories, and has the most suc- cessful track record. On the market for over 30 years, it, lias been used to re-side over 1 1,00w,000 homes. Pre-finished hardboard is available in a wide range of colors and textures but it re- quires more care than other sidings. With steel, the exposed edges of the pre-flnished sid- ing may be affected by weather. Vinyl plastic is usually available only in w *hite and pastel colors. It may become brittie -at low temperatures a nd wavy when the tempera- ture goes Up. Long-term characteristics of vinyl siding are not proven since it has only recently be- come available. Look around! Whatever ýiiding you choose, be sure your exterior decorating- scheme not only pleases you but also blends well with other bouses in the neighborhood. Decorators suggest limit- ing your choice of colors to three, including siding, roof and trim, and keeping thema complementary. Hlaving decided on siding, go a step further and choose the insulated kind because it mnay pay for itself in energy savings and add to your com- fort, winter and summer. Plain siding does not have much insulating value, but when properly installed with insulating backer over alu- minum foil it can cut your fuel use. Choose carefully Choose your contractor as carefully as you select your siding, because his reputa- tion and expertise will de- termine the quality of the job. Check with people who have had their homes re-sided, with local bankers, the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce.

Smoke detector installation important to protect family To provide maximum pro- tection, fire and smoke de- tectors must be installed in the right locations in your home, says a major mnanufac- turer of the safety devices. For basic protection, ac- cordingto Honeywell, a smoke detector should be placed between each sleep- ing area and the rest of the house. This midght be at the head of the stairway leading to bedrooms in a two-story house, or in a hallway of a ranch house, apartment or mobile home. A multi-level home should be equipped with a smoke de- tector on each additional level-incluiding the basement-for the minimum of recommended protection. The best fire-safety mea- sure is to add detectors to liv- ing and famaily'rooms, as well as workshops, utility and furnace rooms. As a final safety measure, put one in every smoker' s bedroom. Installation, of the Hon- eywell battery-powered smoke and fire detector con- sists of ýthree simple steps. The unit is attached to wall or ceiling 'W ith the screws and anchors provided. Next the battery ýis connected and clipped into the detector. When the cover is snapped on the detector is set to give' you an 85-decibel warning of the earliest stages of a fire.
