FIREPROOF ROOF GOVERING URGED Building Code CDmmitteé Says Two-Family Homes : Should Be Protected. SPARKS FIRST DANGER Wooden Shingle Has Many Merits. Treating Improves Resistance. Incombustible roof coverings should be used upon all two-family dwell: ings, in the opinion of the building code committee of-the Department of Commerce. The committee also rec: ommends such roofings upon . all buildings in congested areas on ack count of the well recognized cdnflag- ration hazard of wooden shingles of other combustible roofing materials. As pointed out by the committee, “probably no type of roof covering has caused more comment and dis- cussion than the wooden shingle. The great danger of the wooden-shingle roof is from chimney sparks and flying brands from burning buildings or bonfires. The danger from chim- ney sparks is largely confined to wood or soft-coal fuel and the sparks resulting from the burning of chim ney soot. Well Recognized Merits. “The wooden shingle has various well recogniz It is light in weigh cellent insulating alue, th promoting comfort by equalizing att emperature, can be easily applied, furnishes attractive architectural effects, and high-grade shingles properly laid produce a roof having excellent durability. "The main objection to the use of wooden-shingle roofs is the fire hazard. Sparks or flying embers are more likely to roll or blow off from the smooth surfaco of a newly- shingled roof than from an old roof with weather-worn shingles having curled and broken edges. For this reason any treatment of shingles, such as staining or creosoting the shingl which will tend to maintain a smooth surface incidentally im- proves their fire resistance. Few if any of the compounds used for treat- ing shingles dircetly increase the fire resistance. If rain water for house- hold purposes is to be collected from a roof, care must be taken to select treated shingles which will not con- taminate the water., Best More Economical. “When ve wooden shingles are used, vest grades of shingles ailable should be obtained, as they re more cconomical to the houwe- ¥ than ch T From a Photograph Giving a Partial View of These Dignificd Twin Residences at 1410-12-14-16 INGRAHAM ST.
