"Copper Flashings And Weatherings" is a handbook containing practical details of the manner in which copper sheet and strip are used for flashings and weatherings. This volume will be of utility to those occupied in metalwork, and it would make for a handy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Physical properties of copper, lead and zinc compared", "Work-hardening of copper", "Annealing copper", "Thicknesses employed", "Sheet and Strip defined", "Hints on ordering sizes", "Temper preferred", "Joints", "Standing seams", "Single and double lock welts", "Wood rolls", "Welding", "Avoidance of solder-Nails and screws", "Roofing felt", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on metal work.
