PANS—Nail the pans in position and apply a dob of cement directly on top of the nail hole, then as the second pan is pressed into its posi- tion the cement is squashed out at the lower end and the surplus cut off with a trowel, which allows pointing up the joint where the bottom of one pan lays in the top of the other, as in cut No. 1. COVERS—By reference also to cut No. 1 you will note that in laying the covers a strip of cement is first placed along the side edge of each pan before the cover is pressed into position, after which the excess cement is cut off even with the side edge of the cover, and any open- ing on the side of the cover is thereby pointed up, and closed with cement as in cut No. 2. Before applying the second cover a dob of cement is placed on the top end of the cover tile, as in cut No. 1, after which the second cover is pressed into position. Then continue up the roof in like manner. Cut No. 3 shows the effect at the eave line, and also the rugged character produced by allowing the bottom ends of the covers to hump up above a nesting position because of the quantity of cement under them. HIP TILE—Regular tapered field tile is used for hips, and by reference to cut No. 2 you will note the method of filling the openings well with cement at the hip before covering with the hip tile. The direction of the hip is shown by the fine white line. NOTES—To obtain the proper effect it is suggested that cement be used freely and no attempt be made to produce a mechani- cal effect. It is, therefore, suggested that the exposure be varied between 10 inches to 12 inches in order to prevent any uniform pattern effect in the cover tile, as suggested in cut No. 4. ESTIMATING MORTAR—Figure about 1 bag cement to 3 of sand per square, with just enough lime that mortar will work well, without being too short. These quantities, of course, depend largely on how much cement is desired to show. If simply pointed up to give cement effect, much less will be needed. BY NAILING—Lay in the same manner as with cement except that 1x4” strips are necessary. No short length starter tile will be used unless an additional 4-inch starter is desired to double the first pan course at eave as shown in cut No. 3.

It is further suggested to apply over this a second layer of 15-Ib. roofer’s felt. Stagger the lap and joints of the first layer. (Note: As an extra insurance it is suggested that, after roof is felted, it be mopped with a good grade of Roofer’s Asphalt before it is stripped.) STRIPS: The 1x5” strips are then set on edge on the hips and ridges and the 1x3'4” strips are cut to fit against ridge and hip strips, after the manner of cutting rafters, spaced 12” from center to center. At lower end, strips should be cut off at right angles with rake of roof as far back from eave edge as it is desired to set the eaveclosure tile, making allowance of ¥%” for thickness of same. TILE: First nail on eaveclosure tiles, centering on end of strips—then set and nail 4” starter tile (in pan position) solidly on roof between each eaveclosure, allowing bottom edge to overhang edge of roof about 1” (or more if desired). Then set first course of 15” pan tile, with bottom end flush with bottom edge of 4” starters. The first course of 11” cover tile are then set and nailed to each strip, making bottom end flush with the pan tile. The second course of pans can now be set, allowing bottom end of pan to slide down against top end of 11” cover, thus producing a 4” lap in the pan tiles. Cover tiles (15”) are then set to lap 4”, which will act as a gauge for the lap of the remaining pan tiles. A little juggling may be necessary to finish at the top, against ridge board, with an 11” pan and a 15” cover. This can be taken care of by increasing or decreasing the lap in the last four or five top courses. CEMENTING: Fill all depressions along hip and ridge with cement, as shown, before putting on hip and ridge cover tiles. NAILS: Use 4d nails for pans and 8d nails for covers—heavy galvanized or copper. B.

ROOFING, Tile, Clay—12-e1 7-1-26 10M LAYING NORMANDY SHINGLE IN CEMENT For a real typical, informal effect the laying of Normandy Shingles in cement produces a truly beautiful result. CUT No. 22 has been made from an unretouched snap-shot of a slab shingle roof in London, Eng- land, and although No. 23 seems to be a part of the same roof, it is an example of Hood’s Normandy Shingle Roof in London, England laid by the same method, which so closely simulates the English roof as to make it almost identical. The English tile seems to be some- what warped, and the coursings slightly irregular. This effect can be obtained even with compara- tively straight tile by cocking them slightly when bedding in cement, and chipping off a corner here and there, and allowing the exposure of the courses to vary by laying with- out a chalk line. CEMENT: About one bag of Port- land Cement, with 3 parts sand, and a little lime to work well, will be needed per square. APPLICATION: After roof is felted, set and nail undereave starter tile 6x6’, then butter over with a layer of cement about 4” thick, and set first course of 6x13 tile, nailing each tile with one 6d nail (preferably copper), then drop a ribbon of cement across the first course horizon- tally, allowing about 5” to weather (less if desired), and set second course tile in place, pressing down just hard Roof of Hood’s Normandy Shingle enough to bed it, and cut off cement which oozes out, with an up stroke of the edge of the trowel against butt, while the tile is held down firmly with the left hand. As next tile is laid, butter a little mortar against — side edge, and slide next tile against it, and cut off surplus, thus pointing flush the vertical joint. Do not bed each tile true, but let them cock up here and there and slightly stagger the butt line, as the natural tend- ency will be to perfec- tion which detracts from the rugged effect desired. HIP AND RIDGE: Note the use of ordinary straight barrel Mission, end to end and bedded well with cement and pointed at joints. VALLEYS: It is suggested to mitre tile blind at valleys and round out the sharp corner with cement, using a concealed strip of valley copper underneath. WEIGHT: About 1800 lbs. per square.

As in Pottery, burned clay is easily moulded into any desired shape or form to fit any pitch of roof. Aside from the valleys, the greatest danger of leaks in composition roofs is at the Hips and Ridges. The life of a composition roof can therefore be greatly lengthened by the use of tile for trim. These tiles frame in the outline of the roof, and greatly improve the appearance over what is otherwise a very severe flat roof, if composition only is bent over the Hips and Ridges. There is no department of architecture that has made greater progress in the last five years than the making and using of roofing tile. We have five plants in the Southeast making roofing tile, and six other plants making face brick, floor tile, and fireproofing. Most roofers are now carrying our tiles in stock by carloads, as the increased use of fire resisting materials, since the World War, has been remarkable. Tiles for trim will certainly add to the life and beauty of a roof—much greater value than their cost. B.
