Each one of these roofs has come to be distinctive in its own particu- lar environment. We, in this country, also have a dis- tinctive roof. The graceful, free lines of a shingle roof have been rather intimately associated, from pioneer days, with the architecture of American houses so that this form of roofing can properly be re- garded as typically American. No roof- ing offers so many and such varied roofing effects or such opportunities for artistic roof treatment as the shingle. A real roofing must of course be more than a mere water shed. It must, like any M@artistic “tame, snaves texture msbe pleasing in appearance, have character of line which shows thought and it must have color, neutralized color, properly distributed. But a roofing must do more than merely cover. It must do more than serve as a medium for the expression of the artistic ideas of the architect. It must be dur- able—it must be economical to maintain and above all it must be fire-safe. The need for a fire-safe roofing is particu- larly emphasized by the fact that Amer- ica’s annual fire loss is so huge as to amount to almost a national scandal. In this country we burn up nearly seven times as much property per capita as the average of the principal European coun- tries. A large proportion of this loss is due to the very widespread use of in- flammable roofing. But we are begin- ning to awaken. Town after town is prohibiting the use of such materials. Some day, let us hope, they will be uni- formly prohibited by the good sense of all people who have anything to do with building. To retain the attractiveness and national characteristics of shingle roofs and yet secure the permanence and fire protection of Asbestos, Johns-Manville have pro- duced an Asbestos Shingle, composed of Asbestos Fibre and Portland Cement, united under great hydraulic pressure and cut with rough and smooth edges and in four colors —a deep red, a warm brown, a dark gray and—a composite of brown shades called Conglomerate Brown. Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles VARIOUS TYPES OF JOHNS-MANVILLE COLORBLENDE ROOFS Page Two Page Three Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles ENGLISH TYPE OF COUNTRY CLUB BUILDING Mixing certain combinations of these various colors produces a roof which harmonizes with the landscape like a hillside in autumn with the same in- describable reds, browns and greys of frost tinted leaves. Yet with all its beauty of color and line, a roof of this sort is as durable as stone and equally as fireproof. To such a roof of Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles of size No. 50, laid in Conglom- erate Brown, alone, or in combination with other standard colors, the registered name of “Colorblende”’ has been given. The soft warm shades of Conglomerate Brown mingled in the laying, harmonize with the natural surroundings with the restful unobtrusiveness of a weathered roof and crown any architectural scheme with greater beauty than could be ob- tained by the most skillful use of the artist's brush. Where a certain tone sliould predominate to suit a particular type of architecture, such as a red roof, we will say, for a house in the Mission style, the addition of the desired Indian Red shingles to the Conglomerate Brown, in the proper pro- portion and laid indiscriminately, secures a most artistic effect. But there are wide varieties of color effects possible in a Colorblende roof. The shingles may be made to blend to suit the individual taste of architect or owner to harmonize with any architectural scheme or natural environment.

The traditional red roof, so universally associated with buff walls and dark, weathered trim, in stucco and_half- timber houses, becomes a soft, pleasing blend rather than a brilliant spot by mixing Indian red shingles, which natur- ally predominate, with the modifying shades of Conglomerate Brown.

This is the chief artistic effect of the Conglomerate Brown blend and makes these shingles peculiarly appropriate for those archi- tectural schemes which follow the general lines of earlier days. Where the roof area is large as in the country club building in the English style, or represents a major portion of the structure, as in the gate lodge after the SUBURBAN COLONIAL FRAME DWELLING French style, or the small village library of English design, Conglomerate Brown Asbestos Shingles are particularly effec- tive because of their harmonious blending with the natural surroundings at every period of the year as well as with the side-wall color. For the small suburban church of rough-hewn stone, in the semi- Gothic or Norman style, the weathered effect of Conglomerate Brown Shingles gives precisely the air of quiet dignity desired.

One of the happy results of the blending shades of Conglomerate Brown Asbestos Shingles is their adaptability to various wall textures. Page 10 illustrates their harmony with the warm tan tapestry brick and gray stone trim of the English suburban house. On the other hand, on a house in the English rural style, either with all stucco side wall or the more typical brick wall and half-timber upper story, the Conglomerate Brown Asbestos Shingles suc- cessfully carry out the true English effect. SHADE No. 1 The Conglomerate Brown Shingles are equally pleasing on a tapestry brick house with a some- what French motif. They add the necessary finishing touch of artistic unity and dignity. On a small suburban Colonial frame dwelling the quiet good taste and unobtrusiveness of Conglomerate Brown Shingles are convincing proof of their real adaptability. The instant success of Conglomerate Brown Asbestos Shingles is testimony of the artistic judgment with which this composite color has been blended. NATURAL GRAY AND CONGLOMERATE BROWN With the addition of the Natural Gray solid color Asbestos Shingle to Conglomerate Brown, in approximately the proportion of 1 to 4 (as recommended in the red mixture) the resulting “Colorblende’”’ roof assumes a soft, cool tone, which immediately fits it for that natural SMALL LIBRARY OF ENGLISH DESIGN SHADE No. 2 THE FOUR SHADES OF CONG NATURAL GRAY ASBESTOS SHINGLES Page Twelve GATE LODGE AFTER THE FRENCH STYLE SHADE No. 3 E BROWN ASBESTOS SHINGLES INDIAN RED ASBESTOS SHINGLES Page Thirteen Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles ENGLISH RURAL TYPE OF RESIDENCE environment with which it must properly appear in contrast. Whether with gray or buff all-stucco walls—as shown here—or on the English cottage type, with a stucco base and clapboard half- story, it carries an air of distinction which marks the house as a well considered harmony and enhances its effective setting in the landscape. This combination is especially appropriate to the Colonial style, either the Dutch Colonial or the more modern adaptation of the New England Oo Colonial with its wide white clapboard siding and dormers. It is equally successful in the Elizabethan rural type of country house where its pleasing contrast with the dun side-wall gives an effective skyline. Whether the first consideration in the choice of a roof covering is its artistic fitness—or its fire safety—or its permanence and economy as a protection against the elements, a “Colorblende” roof meets it exactly. The soft blending shades put the finishing touch to any sidewall treat- ment, with all the charm that could be obtained by an artist's brush. There is nothing in Asbestos Shingles which can burn, so the danger of roof-communicated fire is forever removed. This fire safety combined with little or no upkeep expense, and a durability which increases with age, answers every economical requirement. The nearest Johns-Manville Branch will be pleased to confer with archi- tects and owners regarding the possibilities in a ““Colorblende” roof for any planned or existing residence. Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles RESIDENCE OF MR. OTIS H. CUTLER, SUFFERN, N. Y., ALFRED BUSSELLE, ARCHITECT JOHNS-MANVILLE COLORBLENDE ASBESTOS SHINGLES Let the First Cost be the Last Cost The roofing material that gives permanent satisfaction in service, year after year, without costing one cent for maintenance, is a cheaper roof when figured on a cost- per-year basis, than one whose initial cost is considerably lower but which re- quires periodical painting or other re- finishing. Fora roof that demands atten- tion and costly repairs quickly runs up maintenance bills that more than over- shadow the costof a first-cost last-cost roof. The first cost of Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles is the last cost, for they never need paint and they actually toughen with age. ‘These features are the biggest factors in the successful elimination of roof up-keep cost, for painting or replace- ment are the most frequent items on the bills handed to owners of wood, tin, tile or slate roofs. Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles are easily laid by any roofer, slater or carpen- ter: ~ They; may? «be «applied to: roof decks of ordinary design, hence involve no expense for alterations in the framing. Page Fourteen Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles How many roof coverings will measure up to such specifications? Wood shingles curl, rot, leak and are easily kindled into flame by flying sparks and brands. Slate or tile are heavy, brittle, costly and require skill to lay. Metal must be repainted often to resist rust and is often eaten away by it in spite of frequent and costly recoating. Underwiters’ Approval Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles are ex- amined, approved and labeled by the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., under the direction of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Laid American method, they are given Class “A” rating —the highest possible for residence con- struction. Laid Hexagonal or Diagonal imeliodsethicyearceciven Class. 5B rating. Aside from any insurance savings thus effected, these high ratings are of special interest to the owner in the positive proof they afford of the fire-resistant properties of Asbestos Shingles. Combining Rock with Rock Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles are simply a combination of asbestos rock fibre and Portland Cement compressed under hydraulic pressure. There is nothing in them to rot, burn or rust— nor will they warp, split or crack under summer sun or winter snow—in short, their rock-like base and tough, resilient tensile structure make them unaffected by time, fire or the elements.

The ‘perfect roof’ according to modern standards must combine the following qualities: It must be a complete shelter in all climates and under all weather conditions. It must be proof against all roof-com- municated fire—for the benefit not only of the individual but of the community. It must be a true’ insulation against heat or cold. It must be easy to put on and inexpensive to maintain in good condition. And last, but by no means least, it must be artistic—a fitting crown to a well- planned facade—it must be aesthetically pleasing to the beholder. Checking the thousand and one roofings against these simple but necessary re- Page Eighteen Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles quirements, the long list dwindles.

Apply 4%” thick x 1%” wide furring strip parallel with and flush with the eaves, then apply one course of Standard Brown No. 17, 4.x 160” Starters, at eaves lengthwise and parallel to same, over- hanging the eaves about 11%4”. Apply second course of Standard Brown No. 51, 9 x 18” Starters, at eaves lengthwise and parallel to same, breaking joints with and entirely covering the first course. Apply third course, using Conglomerate Brown No. 50, 9 x 18”, and (Indian Red No. 50, 9 x 18”) (Natural Gray No. 50, 9 x 18”) (mark out color not to be consid- ered) Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles, breaking joints with and entirely covering the second course; after which proceed in the regular manner as with wooden shingles or slate, exposing eight inches to the weather and fastening each shingle in place with two galvanized iron (or copper) roofing nails as specified. Never drive the nails down tight, it is only necessary to drive them firmly as with slate. The various shades of Colorblende As- bestos Shingles shall be laid at random, in approximately equal proportions.

FLASHINGS Flash all chimneys and valleys with copper or other approved material. NOTE Where it is desired to use either Indian Red or Natural Gray, in combination with Conglomerate Brown Shingles, we recommend a proportion of approxi- mately 80% of Conglomerate Brown to 20% Indian Red or Natural Gray. Specifications for the Application of 1g inch thick Standard Asbestos Shingles American Method Lay roof boards in the usual manner, breaking joints and nailing securely in place, with at least two nails at each purlin, leaving no loose ends. The roof- ing boards should be well seasoned and of narrow width. Over the roof boards lay one thickness of Johns-Manville Asbestos Slaters’ Felt, described on page 22, laying horizontally with a 4-inch lap, and with _ Apply ... 12-inch laps on hips and valleys. Page Twenty Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles Yy-inch thick by 1%-inch wide furring strip parallel with and flush with eaves, then apply one course of No. 51 *(B), 9x18 inch shingles at eaves lengthwise and parallel to same, overhanging the eaves about 11-inch. Apply the second course, using No. 5 *(A) shingle, entirely covering first course, breaking joints; after which proceed in the regular manner as with wooden shingles or slate, exposing 7 inches to the weather and fastening each shingle in place with at least two galvanized iron (or copper) roofing nails as specified. Never drive nails down tight, it is only necessary to drive them firmly as with slate. Over the ridges and hips apply Boston Hip or Johns-Manville Transite Asbestos Ridge and Hip Rolls with not less than 3-inch lap, fastened in place with special ridge roll fasteners furnished for the purpose. Where ridge pole does not project high enough above the roof boards to allow direct application of ridge roll, it is neces- sary to put in a false pole so that it is possible to get a direct fastening through top of ridge roll. FLASHINGS Flash all chimneys and valleys with copper or other approved material. Hexagonal Method NOTE—tThe hexagonal or “honeycomb” method of applying Johns-Manville Tran- site Asbestos Shingles, in the %-inch thickness, is cheaper than the American method and much more artistic than the diagonal method. The hexagonal method apparently shows six sides of the shingle, thus overcoming the objection to severely straight lines and producing a pleasing effect. It not only renders the roof attractive to the eye, by breaking up the regularity of the surface, but affords better protec- tion than the diagonal method, owing to the fact that the overlap at the lower end of each shingle is almost twice as great as in the diagonal method. We highly recommend the hexagonal shingles, as in our estimation the French or diagonal shingles in no way compare with them, either from a construction or artistic point of view. Specifications Lay roof boards in the usual manner, breaking joints and nailing securely in place, leaving no loose ends. The roof- ing boards should be well seasoned and of narrow width. Over the roof boards lay one thickness of Johns-Manville As- bestos Slaters’ Felt, laying horizontally with a 4-inch lap, and with 12-inch lap on hips and valleys. Over the felt lay Johns-Manville Transite Asbestos Shingles in the following man- ner: Apply a 1%-inch thick by 1%-inch wide furring strip parallel with and flush with eaves, then lay one course No. 17 *(C) Johns-Manville Transite Asbestos Shingles end to end, parallel with and overhanging the eaves 1 14-inch; over which apply one course of No. 61 *(B) shingles, entirely covering the starter, No. 17, breaking all joints as shown in detail. Cover balance of roof with No. 60 *(A) Shingles 12 inches by 12 inches, laid as shown, exposing 9% inches by 9% inches to the weather. Securely fasten all shin- gles in place with galvanized, needle- pointed nails, and fasten the points of the No. 60 main body shingles with special Johns-Manville Copper Storm Nails. Never drive nails down tight, it is only necessary to drive them firmly as with slate. All the main body shingles, i.e., the No. 60, should be laid with the diagonal lines on a 45-degree angle with the eaves. Over the ridges and hips apply Boston Hip or Johns-Manville Transite Asbestos Ridge and Hip Rolls, with not less than 3-inch lap, fastening in place with special ridge roll fasteners furnished for the purpose. *The letters (A) (B) (C) in these specifications refer to details of laying, shown on page 23. Page Twenty~one Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingles Referring to the detail illustrations, the copper storm nail is first laid head down; next, pushed half way underneath a shingle; then the next shingle in the course is laid with its cut or abutting side against the nail, the shingle of the course above is then slipped over; and finally the nail is bent down.

As an insulating and waterproofing ma- terial between roof boards and shingles or between siding and shingles, Johns-Man- ville Asbestos Slaters’ Felt is unequalled. It is composed of pure asbestos felt, saturated with natural asphalts—both in three-square rolls. The importance of using this material in conjunction with Johns-Manville Asbes- tos Shingles cannot be over-estimated, for together they provide a double insurance against extreme heat or cold, rain and wind. The top rooms of houses roofed with these products are as pleasantly cool in summer as they are snug and cosy in winter. They make the roof as sound and solid as the foundation, and eliminate the care and attention necessary where perishable materials are used.
