In the first half of the 20th century innovative
building materials were incorporated into
Forest Service buildings. The MTDC series
of tech tips on early 20th-century building
materials provides practical information that can help people recognize and
work with
these materials. Each of the four tech tips describes the history, manufacture,
and physical
characteristics of a particular group
of
materials and addresses problems commonly encountered with them.
Two of the tech tips are recent
additions to the series.
The tech tip "Early 20th-Century Building Materials:
Resilient Flooring" (0773–2322–MTDC)
explains how to maintain, repair, and replace cork, felt-base,
linoleum, rubber, and vinyl flooring.
The tech tip "Early 20th-Century Building Materials: Siding
and Roofing" (0873–2308–MTDC)
explains how to maintain, repair, and replace asphalt roofing, asbestos-cement
siding and
roofing, and metal siding.
