The Edwards Manufacturing Co. CINCINNATI, OHIO AVtR'^ LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVUSITY The Edwards Pressed Steel Ceilings and Walls ^ the following jjages we show a few of our many eorrectly and artistically modeled Pressed Steel Ceiling and Side Wall Designs. Artistic taste ami specially devised machinery have made it possible to use steel for Ceiling and Side Wall decoration. It is more healthful than i)laster; does away with danijmess in buildings incident to the use of plaster; takes a low rate of insurance, being Fire and Waterproof; very easily ai>plied; it iin[)roves the acoustic ])roperties of a room, ami by the artistic arrangement of panels and mouldings, offers possibilities of treat- ment hitherto unattaineil. If you will forward plans or specifications giving dimensions of rooms to be covered, we will i)repare a detail drawing .showing the arrangement of Plates, Molding, Filler, Cornice, etc., and forward same together with a luni]; ])rice for sufficient material to erect the ceiling delivered f. o. b. your railroad station. In addition to being highly ornamental and attractive. The Edwards Pressed ,Stecl Ceilings and Walls po.ssess many characteristics of a ilecidcdly utilitarian nature, which would seem (juite sufficient to alone justify tlieir slight increase in a cost over lath and plaster. Closely joined so as to make them easy and economical to install, they jiresent an almost air-tight surface and, being incombustible, they tend to greatly protect floors and woodwork in case of fire, and have many times by preventing tlie spread of flames until the arrival of the fire department saved buildings from total destruction. Being of light weight they reduce to a minimum the strain upon trusses and joists. The.y neither crack nor fall as plaster is i)roven to do, nor shrink and tlry out like wood. They do not hold disease germs or vermin and can easily be cleaner! with sponge and water. The field for Pressed Steel Ceilings is almost universal and is constantly widen- ing. They are universally used in dwellings, vestibules, a])artment houses, f)ath rooms, kitchens, franks, buffets, restaurants, theaters, jniblic halls, churches, educational institutions, and are largely emirloyeil in establishments where heavy goods arc handlrHl, the resulting jarring, which would loosen the; irlaster, producing no effect on the steel sheets. The Edwards Pressed Steel Ceilings and Side Walls are made from sheets of mild steel, usually of 2S or 29 guage, and will weigh crated about 70 lbs. to tlie KM) scpiare feet, taking a fourth class freight rate. They are given a priming coat of paint l)ot h sides before shipping. To make the irroirer finish this should be supplemented fry at least two coats of |)aint, laid on after the Ceiling is erected. Where much oil is used in the i)aint the effect is a shiny finish that has a ten- example, take a room the measurements of which are 15 feet o inches by 39 feet o inches.! I If your Cornice extends down on the wall 12 inches, add 24 inches to each dimen-e c sion, and then add 4 inches for variation to each dimension, which is tabulated as follows,! | Size of Room IS ft. 0 in. x 39 ft. 0 in. g Cornice 2 It. 0 in. x 2 ft. 0 in. 3 For variation 0 ft. 4 in. x 0 ft. 4 in . Total 17 ft. 4 in. X 41 ft. 4 in. We now have the dimensions, 17 ft. 4 in by 41 ft. 4 in.; multiplied, gives the actual number of square feet of metal in the entire ceiling, cornice, etc., namely 716 square feet. The deeper the Cornice, the greater the cost of the material. The selection of its depth should be governed by the height of ceiling. For a room 12 ft. high the depth of plate must be considered in making a selection of designs. After the selection has been made and price agreed upon, multiply the cost of the metal by the square feet in the ceiling. To this must be added the cost of labor^for erecting. Metal Ceilings are no longer considered a luxury — in fact they are almost a neces- sity. Make the house cool in summer and warm in winter — absolutely no danger from falling plaster — no re-papering necessary. Send us a rough sketch of room or rooms to be covered (use directions How to Measure) and we will prepare — without any charge to you — a detail drawing showing exactly how the ceil- ing will look, and forward same, to- gether with a lump price for material delivered f. o. b. your railroad station.
