saggin g. Unlike brittle m aterials which are

liable to fall and endanger the lives of the
home-folk, they are positively safe. Should
fire menace the rooms, W underlich C eilings
will prove an effective barrier again st the
spread of flames. A s the joints, being tightfitting, cannot open up like timber, they offer
no encouragem ent to vermin.

A s an inspection of this catalogue will reveal,

W underlich A rt M etal Ceilings are manu
factured in an extensive range of designs,
m aking possible a suitable treatment for
every occasion. T h ere are rich, dignified
panellings and panels for important rooms ;
lightly ornate patterns for bedroom s ; and
plain, simple diaper designs for kitchen and
bathroom . All are chastely modelled, and
em bossed crisply in W underlich paint-pro
tected steel sheets, of special quality. C o r
nices and mouldings, in a pleasing and
generous variety, are available, so that
ceiling treatm ents complete in detail, with
each unit in harmony, can be assem bled from
W underlich designs.

F or old rooms a s well a s new, W underlich

Art M etal Ceilings are the popular choice
of architects, builders and hom e-investors.
T hey can be nailed direct to old liningboards, or fixed over cracked or dam aged
plaster, without any disturbance of the
existing m aterials. W o rk of this nature may
be carried out in a clean and tidy manner,
with entire absence of the dam age and litter
usually experienced with repair jobs.

In initial cost, W underlich A rt M etal

C eilings com pare favourably with other
m aterials ; while, m easured by ultimate cost,
they are unquestionably the most economical
medium available for the purpose.
Once
erected, and painted with genuine oil paint,
W underlich C eilings seldom need attention
for ten to tw enty years. T h ey remain flaw
less and attractive, never flaking, cracking or

that is w hat a W underlich A rt M etal
Ceiling treatment means in the home.
It m akes room s more artistic, more inviting,
more stead fast again st the depreciation and
impoverishment that tend to impair the
attractiven ess of the home a s time goes on.

An outstanding reason for the popularity of

W underlich C eilings is the fact that they are
a s readily available to the homebuilder in
the remote out-back, a s to the suburban
dw eller. Being light in weight, the material
travels at low c o s t ; and there is no risk
of breakage.
Then, again, it is easily
erected. A series of beads, stam ped along
the sides and edges of the sheets, enables
each sheet to be fitted accurately and
m echanically into position. T h e joints fit
tightly, one beaded edge being lapped over
another, so there is no necessity for such
devices a s cover battens.

Metal

Think, therefore, of the ad v an tag es these

Ceilings offer you. At really low ultimate
cost, they provide a treatment that enhances
the beauty of rooms, and adds decidedly to
the value of the home. Alike in city and
country, these C eilings have proven the most
practical, most adaptable and most per
manent medium for their purpose, fulfilling
their function long after substitute m aterials
would have fallen into disrepair or decay.

Forty years of constant development and

improvement have evolved a product that
is to-day more artistic, more durable and
more economical than ever before.
Its
adaptability to modern construction is
evidenced by the fact that W underlich
Ceilings have just been installed in the
Banking Cham ber and eight floors of the
most imposing commercial building in the
Com monwealth the H ead Office of the
Governm ent S av in g s Bank of N ew South
W ales, M artin Place, Sydn ey. V irtually
every architect of prominence in A ustralia
some of whom w ere am ongst our earliest
clients freely specifies our m aterial.
It is
therefore with complete confidence in our
ability to meet all requirements, and to give
lasting satisfaction, that we commend
W underlich M etal C eilings to your favour
able consideration.

The wide variety of W underlich patterns renders possible an individual treatment for each
room. There are light floral designs for the bedrooms ; dignified effects for the living room ;
and plain, simple patterns for kitchen or bathroom.

Modern

Homes

In choosing W underlich
A rt M etal, you not only
obtain Ceilings of un
usual artistic merit, but
you also provide a treat
ment that is permanent.
C racks, stains, and the
usual ceiling troubles that
mar the beauty of rooms
involving,
as
well,
periodical
repairs are
avoided when W un der
lich Art M etal Ceilings
are installed.

For old rooms, a s well

a s new, W underlich
C eilings
are
recom
mended, a s they can
be applied over old
lining boards or cracked
plaster, with virtually
no disturbance of the
existing m aterials. T h is
work can be carried out
with a minimum of
trouble, and without the
usual dirt and litter.
In the past 40 years, W underlich Ceilings have been installed in more than a million rooms
in Australasia. For country homes particularly, these Ceilings are highly appropriate, as they
travel without risk of breakage and can be erected by local tradesmen.

U N D E R L IC H Art Metal Ceilings may be

ordered in either of two ways, viz.: (a) in
Stock Sizes, or (b) To Design. The former
method is availed of by those who possess

sufficient confidence or experience to estimate

accurately the quantities of various units, such as
Diapers, Panellings, Cornices, Mouldings, Borders,
Mitre Leaves, etc., which the Ceilings or W a ll Linings
involve. O n the other hand, clients desiring to save
themselves this trouble prefer to order " T o Design,"
which means that they simply send us sizes and, if
possible, plans of the rooms to be treated, at the
same time specifying the designs preferred, following
which we prepare a drawing showing the arrangement
of the patterns in the various rooms.

battens, etc., and full size sections of the cornices and

ORDERING

IN STOCK SIZES." C l i e n t s
ordering in this manner should forward a list showing
the quantity, catalogue number, and size of each
pattern required. Such list should include the neces
sary number of mitre leaves for cornices, bosses for
mouldings, and, if needed, ceiling nails and wood
brackets.

How

ORDERING " TO DESIGN." As previously men

tioned, this method of ordering involves the
forwarding to us of a plan, or, at least, full particulars
as to the sizes of rooms. If our client so desires, we
await the approval of our drawing and acceptance
of our quotation before despatching the materials. O n
the other hand, unless we experience difficulty in
adapting the client's choice of patterns to the sizes of
the rooms, or unless we are asked to await acceptance
of our quotation, we deal promptly with urgent orders,
effecting shipment as soon as possible after their
receipt.

M e a s u r e m e n t s
To ensure accuracy in the execution of orders and in
the preparation of estimates, we ask our clients to
provide us with the fullest possible information as to
their requirements.
In every instance we like to have a plan even if only
a rough one of the work in view. This plan should
show:
The dimensions of each wall.
The face measurement and the depth of each pro
jection, such as a chimney breast.

One diagonal measurement, should the room not be

perfectly rectangular.
The distance between the underside of ceiling joists
and top of window architraves.
Sometimes beams occur, in which case we should be
advised as to the depth (from underside of joists)
and width of the beams, and whether of timber or a
rolled steel section.

wide); Cornice N o. 1 5 6 3 (6ft. lengths, 6in. projection, 4in. deep, 8Jin. girth); Border No. 1 4 0 6 (6ft. long by
any width up to 24in). The complete Ceiling, as illustrated, measures 14 ft. square ; but exclusive of the cornice
and border filling, the size of the design is 11 ft. 8in. square. Allowing for the employment of a cornice of mini
mum size, the smallest room for which the above design is appropriate, measures 12ft. 6in. along its narrowest side.

It is not absolutely essential that the cornices shown on our illustrations of complete ceilings should be rigidly
adhered to. Numerous cornices of pleasing design are displayed on pages 33 to 35, and if clients, when selecting
their requirements in accordance with our complete ceiling suggestions, desire to substitute another cornice
design, they should specify "complete ceiling N o .................................................................................. with cornice N o ..... in lieu of the desig

The

H E simplest form of Ceiling available in

W underlich Art Metal is one composed of a
Diaper Sheeting, with a cornice to complete
a satisfactory finish where the ceiling and the

walls conjoin.
The above drawing illustrates such a Ceiling in a
room measuring 14 feet by 10 feet. Diaper Sheeting
No. 10 74 , shown on page 25, and Cornice No.
1070, shown on page 33, are the patterns chosen.
Reference to page 33 discloses that the Cornice, No.
1070. projects 3 inches from the walls, so there
remains an area of 13 feet 6 inches by 9 feet 6 inches
to be covered by Diaper Sheeting No. 1074.
The latter pattern is made in a stock size of 6 feet
by 2 feet, and it will be seen that, along the length
of 13 feet 6 inches, it is possible to arrange two full
sheets each 6 feet long ; while, across the width of
9 feet 6 inches four full sheets each 2 feet wide can
be fixed.

Page Twenty-two

Sheetings

Diaper

Arranging the sheets in this manner, an area 12 feet

long by 8 feet wide is covered, leaving a balance of
1 foot 6 inches still to be treated in the length and
width of the room.
This balance is treated by cutting off and fixing 9-inch
strips of Diaper Sheeting No. 1 0 7 4 along each side
and end of the Ceiling.
It will be seen that a Diaper Sheeting is appropriate
for covering the entire ceiling area between cornice
projections. Although, in most cases, this involves
the cutting of the pattern, quite a presentable effect is
created, as the unit of such patterns is small and the
shallow embossing permits of cutting without dis
figuring the design.
Practically all the Diaper Sheetings illustrated on
pages 23 to 26 may be used in the same way as No.
10 74 .
If the cutting of a pattern is not desirable,
a border and moulding should be used, as explained on
page 27. This, of course, adds somewhat to the cost
of the Ceiling.

The

Use

of

Steel

N L IK E Diaper Sheetings, Steel Panellings are

seldom so designed as to permit of the pattern
being cut without in some measure detracting
from the appearance of the design. Accord
ingly, where the Ceiling measurements between cor
nice projections are not an exact multiple of 24in. (the
usual repeat of the Panelling) it is customary to
employ a moulding and border. The former serves
as a " framing " for the panelled area, while the latter,
used in the necessary widths, covers the margin

Panellings

between the moulding and the cornice.

As Panelling No. 1351 (page 28), which is a pattern

of 24in. repeats, should not be cut, it is impossible to
arrange more than six units or repeats along the length
and four across the width of the Ceiling.
This
makes up an area of 12 feet by 8 feet. Moulding No.
201 (page 32) and Border No. 1100 (page 30) are
selected to cover the remaining space, which comprises
a strip 9 inches wide (half of 13 feet 6 inches minus
12 feet) at each end of the room, and a strip 10J inches
wide (half of 9 feet 9 inches minus 8 feet) along
each side.

In the above drawing we depict an area measuring

14 feet 6 inches by 10 feet 9 inches. The cornice
chosen, No. 1130 (see page 34) has a projection of
6 inches from the wall, thus absorbing 12 inches along
the length and across the width of the Ceiling, leaving
an area 13 feet 6 inches by 9 feet 9 inches still to be
covered.

Moulding No. 2 0 1 is 1J inches wide ; therefore the

respective widths of the Border, No. 1100, will be
1\ inches and 8$ inches. In practice, it is usual to
order an inch or so more than the bare widths of
border, as walls are not always perfectly parallel ;
and, in any case, the surplus of border finishes under
the moulding, trimming to correct widths being quite
unnecessary.

Sheetings

W underlich Steel Border Sheetings are usually employed a s fillers in room s where
the ceiling is composed of W underlich Panelling or Panels.
A s the repeat of
the pattern is small, a border can be cut without detriment to its appearance,
w hereas Panellings and Panels are so designed that cutting of the pattern generally
im pairs its attractiveness.
E X A M P L E O F U S E : A practical exam ple of the use of a border sheeting will be
found on page 27 of this catalogue. It will be noted that a s m any repeats a s
possible of panelling N o. 1351 have been arran ged along the length and across
the width of the ceiling, and that after allow ance is m ade for the area occupied
by the moulding and cornice, there still remains an untreated m argin along each
side and end of the ceiling. T h is m argin calls for the employment of a border sheet
ing, and No. 1406 is the pattern chosen.
U S E O F B O R D E R No. 1616, A S A G R O U N D " : C eilings com posed of a plain
ground, broken up with an arrangem ent of m ouldings, are som etim es preferred to the

B E A D E D E D G E O N N o. 1406 : W e supply Border N o. 1406 with a bead along

The use of separate border and m oulding enables the pattern in the ceiling to work out w ith a fu ll ornam ent.
The border can be cut to make up irregularities in the size of the room.

G ENERAL REM ARKS

W here our Metal Ceiling Materials are used, light
timbers only are required for ceiling joists.
For fixing, the tools required a re : Hammer, Bradawl,
Punch, Pair of Snips, and Saw.
Procedure. In case of New Buildings having plaster
walls, a bevelled ground should be fixed, to which is
secured the batten for the bottom of cornice ; and
the walls floated before the Metal Material is fixed.
For old Brick Buildings plugs should be inserted and
battens fixed thereto.
For the body of the ceilings mark on the ends of the
outside joists the distance which the cornice will pro
ject from the walls. These marks denote the centre of

the batten carrying the top of cornice and the ends

of the ceiling sheets. Space out ljin . x lin. Oregon
ceiling battens at 12in. centre to centre, starting from
centre of the room, if it is desired that the ceiling
pattern should be equal at the sides of the room.
W ith many of our smaller pattern diaper sheetings it
is sufficient to start with a pattern from one side and
end of the room, in which case the battens can be
spaced 12in. centre to centre from the centre of the
cornice batten. Cut in cross battens to take the ends
of metal sheets. Also, on two sides of the room fix
trimmers level with under side of joist, to which nail
the cornice batten.
Fix wood brackets behind angles and cornice joints.
A batten must be fixed under all joints.

M E T A L F IX IN G
Cornice. For mitring, allow one length of the Cornice
to butt on to the wall, scribing the opposite length
to it, covering the joint with a mitre leaf, using a
little putty on the edge of the leaf before pressing it
into the angle. Then nail to battens and brackets.
Sheeting. O ur sheets are trimmed true, and always
lap at the joint. W h e n the Cornice is fixed, start

Page Thirty-six

fixing the sheets from the centre or side of the room,

according to the spacing of the battens. T o ensure
a first-class job, temporarily tack the ceiling sheets in
position, ascertaining if the lines are correct before
completing the nailing.
W h e n all the sheets are
nailed home, go over the joints with a small blunt
tool, and tuck edges so that they lie close and even.

As the latter is only 1J inches deep, there is no necessity for a batten on the wall.

O ur Steel Ceiling Material is supplied already primed

the Ceilings should be given three coats of O IL

some instances.

or zinc white, brought to the required consistency
with a mixture consisting of three parts of raw oil and
one part of turps. A small quantity of goldsize should
added, for drying purposes.

C O A T No. 2. Similar to Coat No. 1, with the

addition of a mixture of tints, as required. T o obtain
a flatted finish, which we recommend, use only a small
quantity of oil (say three parts of turps, and one part
of oil, added to the white lead).
C O A T No. 3. Should a third coat be used, it would
be similar to Coat No. 2.
W here necessary, the best oil putty should be used,
for stopping joints, mitre leaves, bosses, etc.

D ado and W a ll Lining Materials are attached to

battens fixed to plugs in the wall, or nailed to
wood studs, but it is advisable that the lower three
feet of the Metal Sheeting be attached to wood lining
boards in lieu of battens. If the Ceilings are also
to be of metal, they should be fixed first.

under each joint, and one under the centre of the

sheet.

O btain the height of dado, and strike a perfectly

horizontal line for top of dado panels, allowing for
height of wood skirting.

Dado Panels and Metal Sheeting should now be fixed.

Place the lower bead of the wall sheet along the flange
on the dado moulding, and cut the pattern up to
the bottom flange of the Cornice. T o make a good
joint where the sheets arc cut against the Cornice, an
extra flange piece should be used under the Cornice.
This piece (No. 1370; should be fixed at the same
time as the Cornice.

N ow fix the battens for Metal Sheetings in a similar

manner as for Ceilings, bearing in mind that it is
essential to get an equal amount of the pattern on
each side of the room.

projection of 23 inches. Note :
The Bracket only of this Hood,
is shown below.

These W in d o w Hoods are

fixed by means of screws
through lugs which we
attach to the rear flange
of the brackets.
It will be noticed that the
fishscale has a
plain,
tumed-up flange at the
back,
which
forms
a
flashing against the wall.
Extreme rigidity is given
the fishscale sheet, by the
rolled front edge.

W in d o w Hoods are always forwarded in parts, and are easily

assembled on the job by means of the bolts and nuts which
we provide, and for which the necessary holes are punched in
brackets and fishscale sheets before despatch.
Unless otherwise ordered, we forward hoods in lengths of 6
feet. If clients require hoods of shorter length, they will find
it quite a simple matter to snip off the surplus fishscale sheeting
and to re-drill holes for bolts ; or, on receipt of particulars, we
will cut to correct size.
Hoods longer than 6 feet may be obtained, to order ; an extra
charge being made for these, based on the additional length
required.
W h e n ordering sizes other than the stock length (viz., 6 ft.) it
is necessary to mention the width of the window opening, if
hoods are to be fixed to a brick building.
In the case of
weatherboard buildings, it is best to let us know the measure
ment over architraves.
