nails like wood, yet the nails stay in because 
there is no expansion or contraction due to 
dampness. The Alumalath panels are fastened 
to the frame through the use of the specially 
designed clips as illustrated in the sketch shown 
at the bottom of this page. By use of this ingen- 
ious method it is possible to place the panels 
under the framing, thus hiding unsightly con- 
struction. 
Due to its light weight, one-fifth the weight 
of wood, added savings in both costs and labor 
are gained in construction as a minimum of 
underpinning and framework is required. 
Whether for ten feet of ten acres, Aluma- 
lath is the buy! Available in 2,500 foot rolls, 
two inches wide, or Alumalath will be cut to 
lengths suitable for your own individual needs.
