Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preserving Historic Ceramic Tile Floors Each preservation technique has advantages and disadvantages that the historic property owner or manger should take into consideration before deciding which one is best suited to the particular flooring problem. For example, slight differences in the shape, size, color and the pattern between the old and the new tiles are frequently encountered. If replacing an entire section, the slightest difference in size and dimension between the original tiles and the reproduction tiles, even if it is as small as 1/ 8 or can mean that the new section of tile will not fit inside an existing border (fig. Even though drawings and photos are provided to the manufacturer, there may be some variation in the design and pattern size on the new tiles. Thus, they may not align perfectly with the original tiles, and as a result the section of the floor that has been replaced may be quite conspicuous.

Download or read book The Preservation and Repair of Historic Clay Tile Roofs Classic Reprint written by Anne E. Grimmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preservation and Repair of Historic Clay Tile Roofs Even if the tiles were originally attached with wooden pegs, it is generally recommended that they be rehung with corrosion-resistant, preferably heavy copper, or aluminum alloy nails or hooks. Today there are numerous non-traditional fastening systems for clay tile roofs, and many of them are patented. Roofing contractors and architects may have individual preferences, and some systems may be better suited than others min a particular roof shape or to meet a specific climatic or seismic requirement. Original battens or other roof members that may have deteriorated should be replaced to match the original using pressure-treated wood. Additional support may be necessary, particularly if the original roof was inadequate or poorly designed.

This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manufacture of Roofing Tiles Fig. 3 - Robinson's Tile, made at Germantown, Ohio, about 1814. To the right in the picture stands a corner of the new library build ing, upon which can be seen roofing tiles of modern manufacture. A more striking contrast could scarcely have been found, the one tile show ing the marks of time and the primitive methods of manufacture of a century ago, while the other presents a roof of the present day. The Robinson tile at Germantown was probably a sporadic case only, and does not probably stand for the introduction of the industry, as we have no evidence that be manufactured tiles for other than his own needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Ceramic Industries: A Complete Manual for Pottery, Tile and Brick Works N o apology is needed in the present instance for the publication of this work. The lack of technical treatises in the English language devoted to Ceramic Industry has long been a serious drawback to the progress alike of the student and the manufacturer. Since the days of Simeon Shaw there has been no serious attempt by any English writer to grapple with the complex problems of ceramics, or to produce any comprehensive description of the processes of clay manipulation. In view of this fact, and also that during the last few years an increasing interest has been manifested in systematic ceramics, it has been felt that the issue of such a work might prove opportune.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Ceramic Industries: A Complete Manual for Pottery, Tile, and Brick Manufacturers As the book is intended as a manual for practical men rather than a hand -book for the scientist, no attempt has been made ln translating to revise the chemical nomenclature except where the subject seemed to be of special interest, and m most cases the popular names of chemicals have been retained. Obsolete theories have in some instances been omitted, and the general descriptions have been shortened as much as was thought to be possible without sacrificing clearness of expression or omitting important facts. At the same time, no attempt has been made to materially alter M. Bourry's original work. For this reason many of the statements made must be accepted on their own merits and not as necessarily representing the reviser's Opinions. For the same reason, many illustrations in the original have been retained, though they represent French and not English machinery. In a few cases, illustrations of modern English machinery have been substituted. In a number of instances, special notes have been added where they appeared to be desirable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Album of Ornamental Granitic Tiles The colours are at least one-quarter-inch thick, backed up to a full thickness of seven-eighth inch thick of pure granite sand and Portland cement, subjected to a high pressure in steel moulds, after which the tiles are immersed in water for a certain period, to render the material thoroughly sound, in the usual way adopted for a concrete of the highest quality. Being so constructed, the material - after being thoroughly matured - is quite impervious to moisture, is frost proof, and is eminently adapted for any class of flooring, - particularly where great durability is of utmost importance. The tiles are manufactured with plain surfaces, and also with the pattern shewn in relief in imitation of mosaic.
