Michigan Avenub "LSan Francisco 4, Calif., 155 Sanbome Street {[Reflective and Regular Kimberly Clark KIMSUL* is unique among building in sulations and acoustical materials be cause it is made of many individual plies --each one a continuous separate layer of soft, clean, creped, asphalt-treated cellulose fibers. Each ply is controlled carefully in manufacture both as to thick ness and crepe structure. The result is a flexible blanket, inherently uniform in thickness--an important factor in a thermal or sound insulating material. The Kimsul plies and cover of the creped Pyrogard* or creped Reflective Vaporseal are held together with rows of strong stitching that prevent sifting and settling. No heat-leaking thin spots, no money-wasting thick spots in the Kimsul blanket. Reduced to H its installed volume for easier shipment, handling and storage, the Kimsul blanket is expanded in installation. The stitching controls expansion to the density of maximum efficiency. KIMSUL INSULATION IS NOW MADE IN TWO GRADES--REFLECTIVE AND REGULAR--SEE PAGE OPPOSITE No. 1. Flexible--fits into corners, tucks behind pipes, electrical wiring and other "tight spots." No areas unprotected. No. 2. Clean--no sharp particles to irritate, nothing to sift; stitched ply construction prevents settling or sagging. No. 3. Caulkable--one ply or many plies may be compressed to high density in narrow or wide joints, sealing out cold air and sound.

Off. 1594 Kimberly-Clark Corporation Insulation Now Available--Reflective KIMSUL* Insulation The text of these two pages applies to both Regular and Reflective Kimsul Insulation. The differences in the two types are: Reflective Kimsul has a cover of aluminum foil that acts both as a vapor barrier to shut out condensation, and as a highly efficient reflective surface to turn back radiant heat. Reflective Kimsul has strong reflective tacking flanges for easy, secure attachment to framing. For heat flow downward. Reflective Kimsul provides additional insulating value. Regular Kimsul has the Pyrogard fire-resistant cover. Fire-Resistant--Special permanent chemical treatment makes Kimsul resist fire. Pyrogard* Fire-Resistant Cover--(safety feature of Regular Kimsul) resists flamespread. Creped Aluminum Foil Cover--(a feature of Reflective Kimsul) reflects heat, shuts out condensation. Moisture-Resistant--asphalt treatment of each ply sheds water. Resists Mold, Rot, Vermin--The materials of which Kimsul are made offer no subsis tence to vermin or insects. Special chem ical treatment resists mold and fungus. Factor--0.27 Btu/sq ft/hr/F. Reflective KIMSUL installed. Edge offattening flange folded over face of framing completet the vapor teal. Air Space--is a prime requisite. Use a vapor-permeable building paper under ex terior finish. Ventilation in attics and floors should never be omitted. .Use approxi mately one sq ft of louver area for 1000 sq ft of ceiling area. SOUND CONTROL Sound Deadening (one room to another).
