CORRUGATED SHEETS -FOR- ROOFING, SIDING, CEILING, DOORS, SHUTTERS, AWNINGS &C, &C. Corrugated is the strongest form of Sheet Metal. It is the best material for use on buildings of moderate cost, that are intended to be fire-proof. The corrugations stiffen the sheets and makes them suitable for use on light, inex- pensive framing, the result being a cheap, substantial fire-proof building of handsome appearance. We carry in stock all gauges from No. i6 to 27 inclusive in b-j-S-g and 10 foot lengths, and of a width to lap one corrugation and cover 24 inches. WH MAKE ALL OTHER SIZES TO ORDER PROMTPLY.

DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING CORRUGATED ROOFING. FOR ROOFING— WOODEN FRAMING. Use 2^ inch Corrugated Sheets. Begin to lay the sheets from eaves, the first sheet covering the lower left hand corner, projecting one corrugation over the side, and about three inches over the eaves as shown in Fig. 9. Hammer the projecting side corrugation down against the edge of sheathing, nailing it in place. Nail across the eaves at tops of alternate corrugations. Next place the second sheet to the right of the first. Lapping one corrugation, and with the same amount of eave projection. Nail these two sheets where they lap, through the tops of the corrugations as shown in Fig. 10, and about eight inches apart. Nail also, along the eaves, as on the first sheet. Proceed in this manner from left to right across the length of the roof, then begin at the left and lay the second row in the same manner as the first one, allowing the sheets to lap over the first row three to six inches, according to the slope of the roof and the length of the sheets used. Nail across the lower ends of sheets in the second row about two inches from the end of sheet, through both sheets. Use Corrugated Wood Filler, Fig. 40, on each side of the comb or ridge of roof, and over this place the Ridge Roll Fig. 33 or 39 as shown in Fig. 5. Fig- 5 - With No. 26 and Standard Roofing Gauge, Purlins or Sheathing are re- commended. Where the pitch of roof is considerable, for example 6 inches to the foot, less lap than three inches will do at the ends of sheets. Where the pitch is less than three inches per foot, we recommend the use of our Pressed Standing Seam, Figs. 23 and 24, or Self Capping Roll Roofing, Figs. 21 and 22. Whehling, W. Va. II CORRUGATED SHEETS. DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING CORRUGATED SIDING. FOR SIDING— WOODEN FRAMING. Use 2 % or ijY iooh Corrugated Sheets. Fig. 6. Commence at bottom, run- ning first row across side lap- ping one Corrugation. Do not let the iron siding toucli the ground. Be very careful to keep corrugations plumb and in line. Put the second row on in the same manner, lapping ends of sheets down over the top of the first row, one inch is suf- ficient for the lap. Where used without sheathing boards the studding should he framed to measure from centre to centre, to correspond with covering width of sheets: or if preferred, put the studding 3 or 4 feet apart, and nail the sheets to the purlins, placing purlins 2 feet apart, ami across the studding. Care should be taken to keep siding a few inches from the ground. Figs. 6 and 44. On corners use Corner Cap, Fig. 41 or 42 as shown in Fig. 6. FOR IRON FRAMES. The side laps should be rivited every 8 to 12 inches and end laps on every other corrugation. To fasten the sheets to iron beams and purlins, a cleat of band iron ^ or ^ inch wide should be passed around the purlins or beams and rivited at both ends to the sheet, by contracting or pressing this cleat toward web of 1 beams, or purlins, a tight, secure fastening is made which allows for contraction and expansion of the sheets. We do not advise the use of corrugated iron on any roof of less pitch than 3 inches to the foot. Truss roofs should have not less than 1-5 or 34^ pitch. DISTANCE BETWEEN SUPPORTS OF ROOF. No. 16 can be used on purlins 7 to 9 feet apart ; No. 18, 6 to 7 feet apart ; Nos. 20 and 22, 4 to 5 feet apart ; No. 24, 2 to 4 feet apart ; No. 26 and S. R. G., 2 feet apart.

This roofing can be laid on any roof, flat or pitched. We particularly re- commend it for flat roofs as the edges are easily turned. On very flat roofs, double seams can be turned with this steel roofing same as on tin. The caps being a part of the roofing, riveting and counter sinking are un- necessary as there are no separate caps to work loose. The advantage in using galvanized cleats is very great as these fastenings can not rust off and allow the roofing to loosen. This roofing should be laid over sheathing or lath placed a few inches apart, and it can be applied bv a carpenter or any person of ordinary ability. Fig. 21. Fig. 21 Shows roll ready for shipment. Self Capping Roll Roofing is made from the best quality of Box Annealed Steel, painted on both sides with the best of Iron Ore Paint, ground in Pure Unseed Oil. It is put up in Rolls 50 feet long by 26 inches wide (covering width 24 inches') and will lay one square. Weight of each roll about 7S IFs. We send free, one pound of Galvanized Cleats for each square of this Roofing, and unless otherwise ordered we also send one pair Seamers, two pair Edging Tongs, one pair Squeezing Tongs and one pair Tinner’s Snips for applying, charging for the same Seven r)ollars, which amount we refund when Tools are returned in good order, freight prepaid. The Ust Price on Painted Steel Self Capping Roll Roofing, is $4 25 per square. Wire Nails for applying, and sufficient tdry Paint for a second coat- ing are 10 cts. per square. The List Price on Galvanized Self Capping Roll Roofing weighing about 87 lbs. per square is $7 00, Wire Nails are 5 cents per square. If customers request it in ordering and will give the distance from comb to eave alter allowing for ridge seam and for bending at eave for nailing, we will make the rolls to exactly cover the lengths given, not exceeding one hundred and fifty feet. This is of great convenience in applying. 20 Wheeling Corrugating Company. SELF CAPPING ROLL ROOFING. DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING AS PER FIGS. Unroll and cut off Roofing the length of roof, allowing an inch for comb on one side and two inches on the opposite side, and an inch or more for flash- ing or turning down at eaves. Turn the outside edge of the first strip you lay down over barge board one inch and nail. Turn up other edge one inch, then anchor it by nailing the cleats about 14 inches apart. Drive nails close to edge of roofing as it holds firmer. Turn up edge on next course \)4 inches and bring it up close to the one inch edge and then turn it down over the one inch edge; fold the end of the cleat back over the top of seam and make the seam tight with tongs. The comb is made by fattening down the standing seams 6 to 8 inches from the comb and then turning up the ends, on one side one, and on the opposite side two inches. Anchor the one inch side with cleats and then turn the two inch over the one inch end. This makes a standing seam along the comb. If you use l-^idge Roll, Fig. 33 or 39, it is not necessary to allow the inch and two inches on opposite sides of the comb. In this case finish seams to the comb and then nail the Ridge Roll over the comb. Hips are made the same way after cutting to the right angle. Fig. 22. Wheeling, W.

Flatten right hand cap for first course and lay left hand cap to a chalk line. Let the bottom sheet project over eave and end of building one inch or more. Bend down projecting portion of sheet and nail to the end and eave of building. Or if there are fire walls, turn sheet up 4 to 6 inches, nail securely and counter-flash. Use two cleats on ends and one every 12 or 14 inches on the sides. Continue laying the sheets until upper part of roof is reached. If a comb roof, allow one inch on one side and two inches on the opposite side to form standing seam along the ridge. Start next course ( with the piece, if any which was cut from last sheet laid at comb), with flanges of sheets overlapping the first course, press down, turn the ends of cleats over, and then press the seam together with tongs, this finishes seam. Continue until roof is covered. The comb is made by turning up one side one, and the other side two inches, first flattening standing seams for 6 or 8 inches back from comb. Anchor the one inch side with cleats, and then turn the two inch edge over the one inch, fold the cleat back over the top and press together with tongs. This makes standing seam along the comb. If you use Ridge Roll, Fig. 33 or 39 it is not necessary to allow the inch and two inches on opposite sides of comb. In this case finish seams to the comb and then nail the Ridge Roll over the comb.

It is largely used for ceilings and can be applied with panel strips so as to make Panels of size to suit purchaser, or it can be put up plain, lapping one bead at sides and about one inch at ends. For siding it is put on by lapping one bead at sides and about one inch at ends. The painting is a matter of taste as it can be re-painted any color to suit purchaser after it is applied. —NOTICE.— We are now putting in a line of machinery for making the more ornamen- tal and handsome styles of Metal Ceilings. We will be able to fdl orders for these on and after July ist, i8gi and expect to have our Ceiling Cata- logue ready at that time. We will then be manufacturing the most complete line of Metal Ceilings in the United States. Write for the catalogue. 2b Wheeling Corrugating Company SHEET METAL WEATHER-BOARD. Fig. 30.

Prime around leak with paint; take a piece of muslin of a size to extend one inch all around the leak; fray the edges of muslin ; cover one side of it with Cement and paste over the hole ; spread it smooth to expel air from beneath and then paint the patch. CARE OF ROOFS. As all the metals in common use for roofing will rust, it is necessary to protect their surface by a coating of a durable character. Paint is the cheapest effective coating that can be used, and if it is renewed every three or four years it is entirely satisfactory. Galvanized iron is iron coated with zinc, and zinc is one of the few and the only comparatively cheap metal not affected injuriously by exposure to the weather, and therefore Galvanized Roofing and Siding does not re- quire painting, and the first is the only cost. As Galvanized Roofings are much cheaper than they have been, they are coming into general use. We recommend them to every one who wants the best, least troublesome and in the long run, the cheapest roofing. INSURANCE. Steel or Iron roofings reduce the rates of Insurance fully one-third as a rule, and in towns poorly provided with fire apparatus as much as one- half to two-thirds. Wheeling. W. Va. ROOFING TOOLS. We charge on our invoice for all tools sliipped and refund or credit the amount so charged when the tools are returned to us in good order, freight prepaid. In returning tools, mark on tag who from, so we can give the proper credit, or remit you the amount paid. GALVANIZED ROOFING AND SIDING. We strongly recommend the use of galvanized roofing and siding. The metal is protected in the best manner and will not rust. It is suitable for any climate and does not have to be painted, therefore the first cost is the only one. It is not subject to injury from natural causes and unless abused will last indefinitely. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING. In ordering Roofing, Siding and Ceiling, state how it is to be applied, if on Sheathing, Rafters or Studding. State kind of Roofing, Siding or Ceiling desired, give the Gauge of Iron and whether Painted or Galvanized. If Corrugated Iron is desired, state size of corrugation. Order V Sticks (for V Crimped Roofing) and Nails and Dry Paint if they are wanted. AGENCY. An Agency means simply an Exclusive Customer for the territory as- signed him; all inquiries from said territory thereafter are referred to him, which protects him in the sale of our goods. He buys the goods of us at such times and in such quantities as he desires, and makes his own selling price. Where we have no customer we sell direct to consumer. ROOFING CAN BE APPLIED BY INEXPERIENCED PERSONS. Any person of ordinary ability, who can read and comprehend the plain, simple directions, can put it on successfully. COST OF LABOR. The cost varies from 20 cents to 50 cents per square, according to the size and pitch of the roof. On an ordinary pitched roof one man can lay from ten to twelve squares per day. ,As wages vary in different localities, you can your make own estimate as to the actual cost. 3^ Wheeling Corrugating Company. STEEL AND IRON ROOFING, COMPARED WITH SHINGLES. The greater number of fires originate on the roofs. The average life of a shingle roof is only ten years in town and twelve in the country. Shing- les, years ago were made of prime timber, but are now made of soft trees, sapplings, limbs and old cuttings, because prime timber brings higher prices for other purposes. Steel costs about the same as shingles, can be laid much faster, will last many times longer, looks much better and is safe against fire and lightning. COMPARED WITH SLATE. Slate roofing requires a steep pitch and a heavy, ' expensive structure to support the great weight, which is about seven times as heavy as steel roof- ing. It will break from freezing or thawing, or from heat of adjacent fires, costs twice as much and is more expensive to keep in repair than a steel roof. COMPARED WITH TIN. Steel is stronger, has fewer seams, and can be applied faster and on cheaper surface. Nine-tenths of the tin plate now used for roofing is made light, cheap and inferior to compete in price with steel roofing. Tin roofs contain from 8 to lO times as many cross-seams, which are sol- dered. Solder is a weaker material than tin and breaks from contraction, expan- sion and other natural causes. FIRE-PROOF. There is no other roofing that can compare with Steel or Iron roofing, as a protection from fire. Very many times it has proven itself effectual in this particular, and if the frame under it burns, it adds nothing to the flames. A shingle roof will catch fire from a spark, slate cracks to pieces and slides off when approached by heat, leaving the felting and dry sheathing exposed to the fire. A gravel and pitch roof when once started makes an unquencha- ble flame. LIGHTNING-PROOF. Lightning has never been known to injure a building covered with a Steel or Iron roof. The surface of the metal scatters the electricity. Wheeling, W. Va. SHEET IRON and SHEET STEEL, BLACK, PAINTED AND GALVANIZED. Prices quoted upon application CORRUGATED EXPANDING CONDUCTORS and O. G.

RULES OF MEASUREMENT IN SELLING AND APPLYING SHEET METAL BUILDING MATERIAL. At a meeting of the National Iron Roofing Association, held Jan. 13th, i8gi, the following Rules of Measurement where adopted: All Iron and Steel Roofing, and Siding, except Galvanized, is painted both sides, unless otherwise ordered, and is sold by the square, except Corrugated Iron and Steel, which is sold by the square or pound as preferred. A square consists of 100 square feet and is calculated by the following rules of measurement. CORRUGATED IRON AND STEEL. The full width and length after corrugating is calculated. IRON AND STEEL V CRIMPED ROOFING, BEADED SIDING, CEILING AND WEATHERBOARDS. The full length of sheets together with the actual covering width is calcu- lated. IRON AND STEEL PRESSED STANDING SEAM AND ROLL ROOFING. The actual covering width and length is calculated. WIDE GUTTERS AND VALLEYS. The full length and width of material is calculated. Nails, Wood strips. Dry Paint and Ready Mixed Paints are not included in the price quoted on the other material, but are charged separately when furnished. Ridge Roll, Ridge Cap, Corrugated Wood Strips, Corner Boards, Panel Strips, Window and Door Case Coverings, Mouldings, Stylings, Eave Troughs, Conductor Pipes etc., are sold by the lineal foot and not included in prices quoted on other material, but when furnished are charged separately. The weights of fiat black iron and steel sheets before being corrugated and painted are based on the Birmingham Gauge as given in Haswell, 55th, edition, page 119. No. of Gauge 27, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16. Wt. per square ft. ... 64, 72, 88, 1.12, 1.40, 1.96, 2.60. No. 27 is known as Standard Roofing Gauge and always shipped when the gauge wanted is not specified. Wheeling, W. Va, 39 AFTER THE MATERIAL IS APPLIED TO BUILDING. ROOFS — Measure the lengtli of the roof, including amount turned up or down at each end or gahle, and multiply by the distance from eave to eave, including the material used in the ridge seam, and the material lapped down or up at eaves. ROOFS W 1 1 H HIPS, VALLEYS, DORMERS, ETC. — Measure each sec- tion through the centre, horizontally and multiply by the length of the strip of metal at the centre and in addition to the actual surface of the roof, meas- ure the length of hips, and valleys, by one foot wide. The extra measure of hips and valleys is to compensate for the extra labor and loss of material in cutting, fitting and laying same. OPENINGS. — Make no deduction for any opening, chimney, stack, sky- light, dormer-window or ventilator, unless such openings measure more than 50 square feet. If more than 50 square feet and not more than 100 square f^^et, deduct half the size of the opening; if more than 100 square feet, deduct the full size of opening. The labor to flash pipes and around stacks, whether of brick or iron, is charged extra. The reason for not deducting otherwise than as specified is, that the waste of material and extra work in cutting and fitting the material for flashing such openings is equal to or greater than the value of the material cut out. GUTTERS AND VALLEYS. — Multiply full length by full width of girt. SIDING. — Multiply full length of each section by the height. Make no deduction for any window, door or other opening, unless said opening measures more than 10 square feet. If more than 10 and not more than 25 square feet, deduct one-half the size of the opening. If more than 25 square feet, deduct all of the opening except when the wood casings to the windows, doors and other openings are to be covered with iron or steel casings; in such instances, no deductions for openings are made 40 Wheeling Corrugating Company. GABLES. — To estimate contents of gables, multiply the width by one- half the height or multiply the height by one-half the width. CORNER STRIPS. — Are charged extra by the lineal foot, also cornices are charged extra in all instances, as the price varies according to the girt of material used and style of the same. EAVE TROUGHS AND CONDUCTOR PIPES.— Measure the entire length and add one toot extra for each Miter, Shoe or Angle. FASTENINGS. — Measure all material used necessarily, including unavoid- able waste, except where no deductions are authorized for openings. CEILINGS. — Multiply the length of each section by the width. Separate Mouldings, Panel division Strips, Stylings, Cornices and Friezes are calculated by the lineal foot extra. Make no deductions for openings measuring less than lo square feet, if more than lo square feet, deduct the full size. SCAFFOLDING. — Where scaffolding is necessary, the customer is to furnish all necessary materials for same free of charge, and the roofer is to construct the scaffolding free of charge. DOMES, SPIRES, DOORS, etc. — Measure all material necessarily used including waste, charge for it at its value, together with the cost of labor applying the material at wages agreed upon.
