iShingle Bur@u Recommends Copperclad Valley for Use With Wood Shingles
into the surface of the roofing, these overlaps form shoulders to shed water back to the center of the valley. Furthermore, the unusual overall width furnishes the added margin of coverage so essential to watertight valley construction. In the past, the weakness of every sloping roof has been its valleys. However, with Copperclad Valley material, a new measure of protection has been added to roof ..construction,-insuring the-same degree of permanency in the valley as in the balance of the rbof.
The application of the valley is extremely simple and economical. No waste of material or difficult soldering operations are necessary. The Copperctad Valley strip is first cut to length from the roll, then placed in the valley of the roof and nailed into positicin just like any roll roofi.tg. It will be noted that the nailing is done through the asphalt, rather than through the copper, thus eliminating the hazard of leaks around the shank of the nail, as in the case with other metal valleys. The shoulders of the asphalt roofing on either side of the copper strip fortn a convenient guide for the trimming and nailing of the shingles.
Although the lumber dealer has long been looked upon as the logical source of supply for all materials entering into the construction of roofs, yet only recently has he been able to capitalize one of the most important phases of this business, that of metal valley material.
Ifowever, with the recent advent of the new product. Copperclad Valley, manufactured by The Flintkote Company, this profitable market has been opened to the lumber deal with the result that a large share of valley business has been diverted to him, thus forming a logical companion sale item for every order of sloping roof material. Some idea of the existing volume of business on metal valley is revealed in the fact that during 1929, more than 18,000,000 feet of this material were sold.
Realizing the advantages of this new product and its vast sales possibilities, the Red Cedar Shingle Bure4u recently mailed the letter as reproduced herewith to lumber dealers in the eleven western states, stres.sing the importance of featuring Copperclad Valley in connection with the sale of Cedar Shingles. To quote from the letter: "Since, from the homeowner's-standpoint, the performance of his Cedar Shingle roof is no better than 'its valleys, this new product (Copperclad Valley) merits ourattention. It is a valley material of sheet copper beyond question the most permanent, weather-resisting metal for valley purposes. Dealers selling Cedar Shingles can realize an EXTRA PROFIT on roof jobs by promoting the sale of this product. We recommend Copperclad Valley material for use with rvood shingles."
