PLASTIC HOUSES
GERMANY PLANS TO EXPORT THEM, £llO EACH
(Special Correspondent, N.Z.P.A.) Recd. 5.5 p.m. London, May 22 A new use is being found for plastics in Germany. It is reported that their designers and industrialists are planning to export prefabricated houses made from plastics. The houses, of which individual designs are produced for Britain, the United States, Russia and France, can be put up in a matter of hours by unskilled labour. They are cheap, and on DUW production lines probably would cost about £llO each. Every section is complete, with plastic windows, electric wiring and heating pipes, which are required only to be jointed to adjoining sections. Each section has “creases” to take up expansion and contraction caused by the weather.
