TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
PROVED DURABILITY
1939 marks the 25th Anniversary of The Insulite Company.
For 25 years engineers and architects have specified Insulite materials in walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, and for duct lining to achieve insulation, acoustics, and sound
control. Insulite materials have proved themselves practical through their performance on the job.
You are invited to consult any Insulite office for cooperation on problems concern ing insulation, acoustics, and sound control.
Modem Materials for Modern Building
Ins-Lite--Natural surface wood fiber board, the color of natural wood. Burlap texture one surface--linen the other. Ther mal conductivity: 0.33 Btu/hour/square foot/inch/F, based on a density of 16 lb/cu ft. Thickness--in. for following sizes: 4 to 8^ ft wide by 6 to 14 ft long with-square edges and also 4 x 6 ft up to 4 x 14 ft beveled two long edges of linen textured side. Thicknesses ^ and % in. for following sizes: 12 x 12 in. to 18 x 48 in. with V-W joint on four edges and 6 to 16 in. wide by 8 to 12 ft long with V-W joint, beaded, on long edges.
Used on interior walls and ceilings, also as sub-flooring.
Graylite--Asphalt-containing wood fiber board with natural surface and neu tral gray-brown color. Burlap texture one surface--linen the other. Thermal con ductivity 0.35 Btu per inch thickness. Available in same thicknesses, sizes, and joint fabrication as Ins-Lite. Used on interior walls and ceilings, also as a sub flooring.
Satincote--A wood fiber board with primed and sealed surface in a rich light color. The surface is smooth, hard and durable and offers resistance to abrasion. The sealed surface receives paint finishes without further treatment but may be used in its natural finish if desired. Ther mal conductivity the same as for Ins-Lite. Thickness 3^ in. Sizes 4 x 6 ft up to 4 x 14 ft are available either square edged or beveled on long edges of finished surface. Sizes 12 x 12 in. up to 18 x 48 in. are
furnished with V-W joint all edges. Fol lowing sizes are furnished with V-W joint--beaded, long edges: widths 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 in.--lengths 8, 9, 10, and 12 ft. Used on interior walls and ceilings.
Smoothcote--A pre-finished wood fibr board with a smooth, hard surface in a .pleasing light cream color. No decorative treatment is required over the surface, however, if desired, the board may be painted. Available in same thickness, sizes, and joint fabrication as Satincote. Thermal conductivity same as Ins-Lite. Used on interior walls and ceilings.
Lok-Joint Lath--An insulating plaster base, fabricated from Ins-Lite. Has a patented "lok" that firmly locks the sheets together between supporting members. Thicknesses: Yi in., % in., and 1 in. Size: 18 in. x 48 in. Used as a plaster base for walls and ceilings.
Insulite for Interior Walls and Ceilings
Bildrite Sheathing
Bildrite Sheathing is an asphalt-contain ing wood fiber board manufactured under an exclusive process which provides in creased strength and moisture resistance. It is 2%2 in. thick and has a distinctive gray-brown color. Thermal conductivity:
0.36 Btu per inch thickness. Each sheet is marked to indicate proper nail spacing. Available in sizes 4 x 8 ft up to 4 x 12 ft. Used as a structural sheathing board and as a roof boarding.

thickness. Used as insulation on all types of roof decks under built-up roofing.
Graylite Roof Insulation
An asphalt-containing wood fiber board of gray-brown color. The asphalt treat ment not only provides added strength and moisture resistance to the board but also a better natural bond with the bi tumen used on the job. Available in the same thicknesses, size, and edge treat ments as Ins-Lite Roof Insulation. Ther mal conductivity: 0.35 Btu per inch thickness. Used as insulation for all types of roof decks under built-up roofing.

Ins-Lite Cold Storage Insulation
Fabricated from special low density
wood fiber board, 12 lb per cu ft. Average
thermal conductivity is 0.30 Btu per inch
thickness. Available in eleven standard
sizes of 12 x 18 in. up to 24 x 48 in. Thick
nesses: 1,
2, 3, and 4-in. For use as
insulation on walls, floors, and ceilings of
ice houses, cooler rooms, storage plants,
breweries, and wherever low temperature
control is necessary.
Sealdslab Cold Storage Insulation
Fabricated from the same low density material as Ins-Lite Cold Storage Insu lation; however, the board is given an additional treatment consisting of a con tinuous impregnation of especially pre pared asphalt to a uniform depth of %2 in. on all faces and edges which, with the addition of the final asphalt coating applied on the job, provides a superior seal against moisture and vapor. Available in same sizes and thicknesses as Ins-Lite Cold Storage. Insulation. Used as insulation on walls, ceilings, and floors of ice storage plants, cooler and freezer rooms, and wherever low temperatures are maintained.
Ins-Lite Roof Insulation
Fabricated from wood fiber board. Size: 22 x 47 in. with either offset or square edges. Thicknesses: 3^ L 1)^, and 2 in. Thermal conductivity: 0.32 Btu per inch
A pplifing Insulite Roof Intulation
Insulite Fiberock
Insulite Fiberock Insulation is a rock wool product, treated for moisture resis tance. It has a low percentage of shot and sufficient resiliency to prevent it from settling. Thermal conductivity: 0.26 Btu per inch thickness. Used as insulation in the intermediate spaces in walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs.
Available in six forms: Loose Fill, for hand packing; Granulated Fill, for pouring into place; Batts, thicknesses 2 and 3% in.; Wall-Seal Batts, thicknesses 2 in. and wallthick; Pads, wall thick; and Pre-packed, roughly 2 in. thick.
The Batts are 15 x 23 in. and 15 x 48 in. in size, and the Wall-seal Batt is lined on one side with a waterproofed, vaporproofed kraft paper, flanged on all four edges. Pads and Pre-packed forms are 15 x 9 in. in size.
Hard Pressed Boards
Bronzelite materials are tough, durable, grainless, pressed wood fiber boards with a hard, smooth surface. Available in a range of densities, from 37 to 68 lb per cu ft, and degrees of hardness. Thick nesses are from 3/io to Yg in. and sizes from 4 x 2 ft to 4 x 12 ft.
