USO, 10/53 U?C Decorative Insulation is rigid wood fiber insulat ing board fabricated into predecorated interior wall and ceilinir units. There are two types of USG Decorative Insulation: 1. DSC Insulating Twin-Tile and Panel-Tile--rec tangular units generally used for ceiling paneling. Twin-Tile is produced by center scoring 12" x 2-1'' or 16" x 32" units to simulate 12" x 12" or 16" x 16" square patterns. Panel-Tile is a rectangular panel (not center scored) in 12" x 24" or 16" x 32" sizes. Both styles are available in } >" or u" thickness. 2. LSG Insulating Plank--ceiling height units. !j" thick, in random widths, to simulate random wall plankina. L'SG Decorative Insulations are produced with a Hilitc (light ivnrv) finish or Blendtex finish (a blend of four tan tones). See Technical Data table for sizes, packaging, weight, etc. Advantages obtained with USG Decorative Insulation: --Positive blind nailing is obtained, with either staples or nails. --High insulation value. The ! j" thickness, with a thermal conductance of 0.66. is equal to approximatelv 19" of stone concrete in resistance to heat transfer. --The plastic resin coated surface, sculf and waterresistant. is not easily marred in handling cluring application. --The Hilite or Ble.xdtex finish is easily painted with Texolite Paint Products, or other paints, to fit any color scheme. --The Twin-Tile 'two-in-one" feature reduces ap plication costs on square patterns as much as to''!'. --ii" thick Twin-Tile and Panel-Tile, with a thermal conductivity of 0.44, provides added rigiditv. How to Apply USG Twin-Tile and Panel-Tile Stapling is the fastest, easiest and most economical method of applying tile. The flange of the tile is spe cially designed lor this method of application. Use of a trigger type automatic stapler with Jfs" staples is rec ommended. Conventional nailing application is also satisfactory. cn es o u AJ Tile should be installed on fra mint;, or furring strips shimmed to a true level surface, 12" or 16" on center, dependent on the size of tile. Start application of tile at a corner of the ceiling with nailing flanges facing out from the walls. The long dimension of rectangular tile should always be at right angles to the furring strips. With the end nailing flange centered on the framing or furring strip, face nail the back edge of the border course near the wall. Place staples parallel to the nailing llange. with one Maple at each framing member. Then, staple in the end nailing flange, which is always cen tered on the framing or furring strip. Fit subsequent units snugl v but nev er forced. Joint alignment should be carcfullv checked. For nailing application use 11s" blued lath, or similar nail. How to Apply USG Insulating Plank For v ertical application of plank, space furring strips horizontally, 10" on center to a distance of 5 ft. from the lloor and 16" on center above the 5 It. level. Start at an interior or exterior corner. leading with the nail ing flange for easy stapling or nailing. Make sure joints are plumb. For horizontal application of plank, start at the floor or wainscot with nailing flange facing up, making sure joints arc level. The flange is stapled or nailed at cverv furring strip or stud. Follow the same general recommendations for the application of Panel-Tile and Twin-Tile. Application with Adhesive Surface must be sound and dry; remove all foreign sub stances, such as dirt and grease which mav prevent proper bond. Adhesive should be applied to the back of tile or plank, tint to the wall or ceiline surface. Work a small quantity of adhesive well into the back of the board w ith a putty knife, in spots about 2" in diameter. Then apply additional adhesive to the same areas and to a thickness of approximate!v ?s". Spot adhesive at corners and along edees so spots are no more than 8" to 10" apart, not less than 1! >" to 2" from the edge, and no adhesive in the center of the tile. Tile or plank is then placed lightly against the wall or ceiling, about lid" from the adjacent tile or plank, and slipped into place, gradually increasing the pressure. On uneven surfaces, increased thickness of adhesive is used, so that- finished surface is level. For complete application instructions refer to direction sheet in package.

I" contain or iIcitcu-c unwanted noise, 'm" perforations, HI I- per square loot, trap up to 70% of the noise that hit the Tile. The hone-white, cleanahle finish of Ouetone cfleetivelv reflects 79% of liirht ravs. a positive aid toward better room illumination in residential, commercial or industrial use. Olietone can be repeatedly cleaned for ease main tenance. Since the sound absorption qualities are due to the perforations the tile can be brush or -prav painted innumerable times without adversely alVectina its eflicienev. Texolite Paint Products are recommended. Quietone Acoustical Twin-Tile is 12* x 24' centerscored to make a 12' x 12' pattern--in Vi', V*' or 1' thicknesses. Can be nailed thru the flanges of the Kwik-Lok Joint. Or, the Vi' and V*' thicknesses can be stapled. Either way, no nails or staples are left exposed. Adhesive application is not recommended. Square QuiETONE Tile is 1 2' x 1 2', also Vi', V*' and 1' thick. Butt level edges empahsize the tile effect. Square QUIETONE is generally applied with adhesive to a solid base, such as plaster. Can also be nailed or screwed through the perforations. (J >4 CJ 4* THICKNESS .

Abut ends over centers of supports and stagger all end joints. Apply 4' wide Sheathing with long dimension parallel to the supports. Abut sides and ends over vertical framing members and top and bottom plates or headers. Fit snugly around all openings. Using l{s" head 2" galvanized roofing nails, secure sheathing to studs, spacing nails approximately 3" on outside framing members, 6" apart on intermediate framing. Where exterior siding is to be secured to the frame with nails driven through the sheathing and into the studs, space nails approximately 8" on centers. .Nail to center and intermediate studs first. Place nails at least ?s" from edges. Asbestos-Cement Siding Shingles--To apply straight edge shingles, use Shadow-Lock Attachment System. Level a starter strip lor base course of shingles. When top leg of Shadow-Lock channel is placed over starter strip, it is automatically aligned. Channel is fastened by nailing 31" from top edge through starter strip (or through shingle in succeeding courses) and 25F/' USG Insulating Sheathing into each stud. Use 11 ga., 2" galvanized roofing nails with '/{*>" heads. Corner pieces are applied by first inserting them between the exposed legs of the lower channel and the asbestos siding. At the top, insert one leg of the corner piece between the channel and the siding. Apply next channel to the adjacent side of the corner--over both siding and corner. Stucco--Apply self-furring 3.4 lb. USG Diamond Mesh f-ath over sheathing, nailing it securely into studding with 2" large head galvanized nails spaced not to exceed 6" vertically and 16" horizontally. Apply in normal manner. Wood Sid ing--Secure the siding with nails driven through the sheathing and into the studs. .Nail pene tration should be a minimum of 1 3d" into the studs. End joints of siding must be over center of studs. Masonry Veneer--Attach masonry ties with nails driven through the sheathing into the studs, approxi mately 12" on centers, vertically, using nails of suffi cient length to penetrate 131" into the studs. Use 6d common or larger. How to Apply USG Shingle-Backer Over USG Insulating Sheathing--Apply a wood cant strip along the bottom edge of sidewall to provide a nailing base lor first course of Shingle-Backer and shingles. Apply first course of Shingle-Backer with bottom edge 3 >" below cant strip, with 8d 21 a" gal vanized box nails driven through the sheathing and into the studs. First course of shingles are nailed along the butt edges, which extend 3-j" below' the lower edge of Shingle-Backer, with 2" grooved nails centered on and penetrating into the cant strip. Second and succeeding courses are spaced to provide desired exposure of shingles, butt edge of shinnies ex tending 3d" below the lower edge of Shingle-Backer. Nail Shingle-Backer along the lower edge at each stud through the lower course of shingle. Shingle-Backer, sheathing and into the studs. Stagger end joints. Shingles are applied the same as first course. Over Wood Sheathing -- Shingle-Backer is nailed along the top edge to wood sheathing using 4d small head galvanized nails spaced not over 16" on center. Apply wood shingles with small headed 5d galvanized nails spaced according to shingle manufacturer's di rections. How to Apply USG Insulating Building Board and DUPLEX Wallboard If nailheads are to be covered with mouldings, batten strips or other methods, a 4d (13d") common nail lor 3d" thickness may be used. If nails are to be exposed, use No. 17 gauge, 13d" fiberboard nail. How to Apply USG Insulating Plaster Base Apply Plaster Base with the long dimension at right angles to the framing members, using Us" 13 gauge, blued dls" fiathead lath nails spaced 4" apart, 5 nails per lath per support. Center end joints on framing members, allowing W space between ends. Long edges, V-joint, should be fitted together but not forced. Stagger end joints in successive courses and at junction of walls and ceilings. Cut accurately and fit lath neatly around all outlet boxes, etc. Reinforce all re-entrant angles with Cornerite attached to the lath. Apply cornerbead to all exterior angles nailed through to Iraming.

Duron Underlayment makes excellent base under linoleum and other floor coverings. Hard . strong wood fiber.' are closclv felted into a homo geneous mat. Compression under tremendous pressure creates a knotless, grainless, dense, strong, flexible, light weight material which is adapted to hundreds of varied uses: counter and table tops--shelves, door panels, dispiavs--signs--toys--lockers--storage bins --chair pails--valances--bed boards--crib boards, radio backs, wainscots, linoleum underlavs. truck trailer interiors and many others. Hardboard can be sawed, die cut, bent, punched, drilled, nailed, screwed, cemented, glued, painted, lacquered, enameled, and waxed. The hard glossv suriace provides an excellent base for paint, enamel, lacquer or plastic finishes. For these reasons hardboard offers manv advantages to commercial wood-working shops and home crafts men. as well as commercial and industrial institutions. Produced in and Ufo" thicknesses in regular and treated types. Treated Hardboard is developed bv prnccssine the regular material with a baked oil treatment which in creases its strength and water resistance. Treated Hardboard Tile is produced bv scorine one surface in 4" squares to ellect a tile pattern. Vi" StRUCTOBOARD is a semi-hardboard. and pos. sesses the same characteristics as the regular hardboard except that it is of lesser densitv with correspondin'.' lower strength and hardness. For many uses the addi tional thickness and rigidity and other working quali ties are very desirable. DURON Underlayment provides a smooth, level sur face as a base lor linoleum, asphalt tile, rubber or cork tile, thus increasing the life ot the floor covering. Easily applied over existing wood floors or wood subfloorinu in new construction with UT" cement coated. Hat head drive screws set slightly below the surface. Underiavment joints should be staggered, with ?'' space between sheets. See direction sheet lor complete application data. b c z i E to a e Ptfiil wpig SIZES AND PACKAGING m&WMM ^ghss#v^5s .

Face of Blanket enclosure is glossy asphalted paper, an effective vapor barrier, extending beyond the edges of the wool to form strong nailing flanges. A strong, yet porous, paper completes the enclosure. Pitched Roofs. Ventilation should be provided bv in stalling louvers or ventilators above the insulation at each end of the attic to relieve high summer tempera tures and to improve condensation control. The total area of louver openings should be from if to hi square inch per square foot of attic floor area. Flat Roofs. Methods of ventilating flat roofs vary be cause of different tvpes of construction, \entilation may be provided by louvers located in opposite sidewalls, or by galvanized metal ventilators extending down underneath the cant strips, or through installing a screened opening running the entire length of an overhang. Monitor type ventilation may be utilized. Vapor Barriers and Humidity Control To control condensation an efficient vapor barrier should be installed on the warm, or interior, side of a wall. The vapor barrier built into Red Top Insulating Wool Blanket Batts automatically provides condensa tion control when batts are properly installed. It is highly resistant to the passage of moisture vapor. Interior Humidity Although vapor barriers offer protection against the formation of condensation and reduce the danger of damage caused by condensation, over-humidification should be guarded against. If the relative humiditv in the building is excessive, steps should be taken to reduce the sources of moisture. BB013 1740 i i I APPLICATION OF RED TOP INSULATING BLANKET BATTS Lay batts between attic floor joists with black vapor barrier side down. Fit snugly, leaving no voids between the batts them selves, between batts and ceil ing, or between batts and fram ing members. Cut to fit where necessary around bridging, con duits, etc Be sure that batts ex tend over outside wall top plates. Start sidewall insulation at bottom plate, placing batts be tween studding with black vapor barrier side toward the inside of the room. Cut the wool away from the vapor barrier on bot tom and top batts to provide ap proximately 1-inch end flanges. Extend flanges over bottom and top plates. Fit batts close together. Applytoroofsandceilings in the same manner as to sidewalls, with black vapor barrier facing inside. Floors over unexcavated areas should be insulated by using gyp sum board, chicken wire, etc. to support batts in joist spaces. Black vapor barrier should face up. All batts should fit tightly together, and against end blocking. Pro vide ventilation in crawl spaces. Block framing where necessary to prevent crawl space air enter ing stud spaces.
