horizontally, with the lower edge thicker than the upper. Most popular today are wide

Also applied horizontally and lapped is drop siding, which has a groove along one edge.

Board and batten siding con- sists of wide vertical boards with narrow battens covering the joints. For architectural relief, vertical tongue-and-

‘ove panelling is often used.

Glass block in solid colors <i: sa

For the first time, glass block néw comes in a solid colour. This development is the result of a process which permits both coloured and colourless glass to be drawn from the same melting pot at the same time. The intro- duction of colour is a significant forward step in the progress of structural glass for the home.

The first colour to be used in,

this coloured block is called “Shade Green,” a blue-green colour selected because of its

cool appearance and its ability to reduce sun brightness and solar- heat transmission. The beauty of this particular shade is com- plemented by its functional

A combination of Shade Green and clear block gives additional latitude for the home decorator and designer. By mixing an equal number of clear and col- oured block, the design can range anywhere from a checkerboard to alternating rows, either hori- zontal or vertical—as featured in the accompanying picture of the patio, or a random interspacing of the block for a modern Mon- \drian effect. Combining the various sizes with the different shades of block can provide a

WATERPROOF WALL

The block is joined with mortar and hence becomes a per- manent fixture wherever they

are placed. In any area of the home, they make the most of available natural light while

providing an interesting texture and pattern of materials suitable to any room or style of decor. Being mortared, the glass block forms a waterproof wall which has an insulation vaule equiva- lent to that of 8-inch masonary wall.
