New Panels Eliminate Use of Battens

A new line which White Brothers, San Francisco, has just put in is Kraftwood. This is a Douglas Fir 3-ply panel, which has been put through a process giving it a refined, even grain and a beautiful tooled groove design. "The grain is part of the wood, cannot be rubbed out and will never wear off or fade," said Don F. White, of White Brothers. "This Kraftwood grain not only eliminates the rotary cut figure but tends to equalize the natural expansion and contraction of th-e wood and thus practically eliminates grain raising and face checking.

"Kraftwood is truly the Cinderella wood. It brings to new or old homes the richness, distinction and charm of wood paneled interiors at a remarkably low cost. It is one of the least expensive interior finishes, and bids fair to become one of the best sellers in the wallboards or interior paneling. To its beauty of grain, Kraftwood adds another point of advantage-smooth walls and ceilings. Kraftwood interiors are never marred by unsightly battens or strips, as it is not necessary to cover Kraftwood panel joints. The 48" wide Kraftwood panels are tooled in attractive Vgrooved designs to resemble expensive rvood paneling. These tooled designs are so arranged that when one Kraftwood panel is butted against or placed tightly next to another panel the joint becomes part of the tooled design.

"Kraftwood panels are sealed on all sides at the factory with a thoroughly tested resin sealer. This sealer is a clear liquid which does not change the color or affect any stain or paint applied to the wood. It enables the Kraftwood to be finished more smoothly, evenly and perfectly than ordinary plywood and it actually acts as a priming or first coat. Kraftwood therefore comes ready for the second coat and is perfect for modern, colorful i.nteriors."

White Brothers also carries a full line of Resnprest hot plate waterproof plywood.
