This New Framing Anchor
Aims to Strengthen Roof j
By D. M. DERWIN
An unanchored roof that “took
off” under pressure from a hur
ricane. resulting in a million
dollar damage to the industrial
plant It formerly covered, caused
the largest single hurricane loss
of the year.
* Hurricanes Carol, Edna and
Hazel, with their combined ca
pers, piled up terrific losses and
put windstorm damages ahead
of fire damage.
With these hurricanes cutting
new and bigger swathes in the ;
Nation, insurance companies are
showing increasing interest in
construction features designed '
to make residences and indus
trial buildings more resistant to '
windstorms.
Now being marketed, after
considerable engineering and re
search, is a specially designed
framing anchor which ties roofs
down more securely against wind
uplift. It provides stronger,
more economical nailed joint in
wood framing of roofs, ceilings,
walls and floors.
A distinct advantage of these
framing anchors is that they
eliminate toe-nailing with all its
uncertainties and weaknesses.
For instance, a survey of 1.000
wind-damaged structures showed
that toe-nailing rafters to plates
and studs to sills and plates, was
entirely inadequate to withstand
excessive wind pressures and
suctions that lift roofs and twist
their supporting frames.
The research organization of
the manufacturers does not
claim that these framing an
chors will keep a structure intact
against any and all wind forces,
yet it claims azpple evidence that
they provide stronger, more;
irigid nailed joints that tie a
structure together with greater!
resistance to forces from any or
all three directions.
Effectiveness of proper roof
anchorage was evidenced at Wal
tham. Mass., during the hurri
cane season, where a roof was
died down on the south side
with framing anchors and on
the north side by conventional
toe-nailing. Last summer, when
Hurricane Carol blew up from
the South, she had no effect on
the roof. However, when Hur
ricane Edna came in from the
Mil 111 IHi I HI H ' MIMMMMIIIHIIIMMViIM MM M 111111, ~, ~ |. .... .i|. 1 ..|M 1 .1.,|.j
discussed on Page B-l. You’ll notice that living area
is placed on upper floor. |
North, she got under the eaves,
separated the toe-nailed rafters
from.the plate on the north side,
and deposited the roof upside
down on nearby railroad tracks.
With the roof went the south;
wall’s plate, still held securely
to the rafters by framing anchors.
Had the entire roof been tied
down with these anchors, it
might not have been dislodged.
These framing anchors are
made of 18-gauge, zinc-coated
sheet steel in three basic styles,
with a left and right of each
for quick and easy application. l
They come packed with special
nails, and require only a hammer
to install.
Special Floor Enamel
A new floor and porch enamel,
for use only on floor surfaces ex
posed to excessive walk and wear,
has just been announced. This
new enamel, formulated to resist
the daily onslaught of heavy foot
traffic, according to the manu
facturer is able to cover solidly
all marred and scratched floor
surfaces. Its chemical formula
tion leaves floor surfaces highly
resistant to foot scuffing, the
maker claims.
Easy to apply, the enamel cov
ers without brush or lap marks,!
drying in four hours. Now avail
able In nine colors, as well as
black and white, it is simple to
keep clean. Ordinary soap and
water is all that's required to
wipe dirt off.
For use both indoors and out. 1
one gallon can cover more than
600 square feet solidly.

lizM hard and aoft areas of the
wood ao that the entire surface
will absorb color applications
evenly. If the sealer is not used
the natural beauty of the grain
might be distorted. Then, too,
the sealing action protects the
wood against damaging moisture
which causes swelling and warp
ing. Drawers will slide easily if
given a clear application on all
surfaces.
The clear coat should be set
for 15 minutes and then excess
should be wiped away. Allow
several hours for drying. Sand
again, removing dust.
Basic color stains or intermixes
can provide mahogany, cedar,
1 maple or walnut effects. Or per
,haps you’d prefer driftwood,
sage, redwood. A blond effect,
may be achieved by wiping -a
white resin over the wood. Sage,;
a soft-green hue, blends with
many decorating schemes.
Application of this color stain
is pretty much the same as for
the first clear coat. Simply mix
well and brush to the desired
depth of color.
When the color coat is dry,
sand with a very fine paper.
Then apply your final coat which
should give the wood a nice satin
sheen. i
