It specializes in the manufacture of asphalt and composition floor tile and the ac cessories necessary to the proper installation of these products. The company enjoys a strong financial posi tion and offers back of the product a degree of integrity and responsibility upon which archi tects and their clients may confidently depend. The company's manufacturing activities are located in a well equipped factory located in Chicago Heights. Illinois. Production facilities are provided which make possible prompt shipping and installation service. All raw materials used in the product are under complete and competent laboratory control. Rigid control of quality is exercised throughout the manufacturing process, thus insuring a high degree of uniformity in the finished product. Tile-Tex is installed by competent, approved resilient floor contractors located throughout the principal cities and towns in the United States.

Tile-Tex Asphalt Tile is a low cost, highly durable flooring manufactured in a variety of sizes and thicknesses and in a wide range of colors. It is composed chiefly of asphalt, asbestos, and mineral coloring pig ment. In addition to low cost and durability, it possesses many other virtues well known to most people engaged in the building industry. Tile-Tex has a long history of successful performance behind it. It is now twenty years since the first Tile-Tex Asphalt Tile was manufactured and, during those two decades, substantially all major improvements in as phalt tile have been initiated by The Tile-Tex Company and incorporated in Tile-Tex As phalt Tile. Today Tile-Tex is recognized as a standard for quality within the asphalt iile industry by discriminating architects and professional Sparkling beauty and u tility are evident in the recreation room floor shown at the right. Tile-Tex is th e only type of resilient floor that can safely be installed at or below grade where dampness 'itpresent. ASPHALT L E E L O O R i H C ) j T i L E . 1 h*. A , COMPANY til e-tex performance characteristics 1. Long wearing and rugged. Where severe traf fic is a major consideration, Tile-Tex is the ideal flooring. Its sturdy asphalt-asbestos composi tion insures many years of satisfactory service. 2. Resilient flexibility. Tile-Tex combines comfort under foot with the ability to adjust itself to the contours of the average sub-floor without fracturing. 3. Moisture resistant. Tile-Tex can be laid at or below grade on sound concrete floors that have not been waterproofed for dampness. Defec tive concrete sub-floors, however, are not satisfactory as a base for Tile-Tex. 4. Safe, non-slip surface. When un waxed. Tile-Tex is non-slip even when wet. It provides a safe, sure footing on which it is comfortable to walk and to work. 5. Eose of maintenance. It is simple and eco nomical to keep the smooth, closely textured 'surface of Tile-Tex clean and sanitary. 6. Fire resistance. The asbestos content of Tile-Tex makes it substantially incombustible. Compared with other types of resilient floor tile, it ranks high in fire resistance. 7. Veining in marbleized tile. Tile-Tex is marbleized throughout the thickness of the material. Regard less of wear, there will always be veining visible in marbleized Tile-Tex colors. Basketweave designs such as shmim above ore possible in T ile - T e x because o/ totae v a rie ty in size and color. Here is o library fioor possessing real distinction and character. Many Plain and marbleized colors are available and all harmonize together. A wide variety of sizes plus the use of feature strips and inserts make it possible for interior decorators and designers to accomplish almost any color scheme and design objective. Com plete color range of Tile-Tex colors is found on pages 4 and 5, and attractive design possibilities are indi cated on pages 6 and 7.

T 1L E -T E X COMPANY G R E A S P R O )F F L O O R I N G PLASTIC TILS FLOOR. * Some years^ago*,"Tile-Tex studied the problem of designing a floor to meet the needs and requirements of typical manufacturing areas where grease abuse was present. As a result, Tuff-Tex Plastic Tile Flooring was introduced two years ago. and today hundreds of thou sands of square feet of this sturdy, grease-prdof, industrial flooring are serving American facto ries and institutions. Tuff-Tex is a composition of plastic binders, suitable plasticizers, asbestos fibers, and mineral pigments. It is made in a variety of colors and sizes and in three standard thicknesses. Is", 3. 16", and 'l". It is installed by approved Tile-Tex con tractors, with the same technique employed in the installation of Tile-Tex Asphalt Tile. Tuff-Tex, however, is not an asphalt tile. It possesses, in addition to extraordinary resist ance to grease and oil, remarkable flexural strength, high resistance to impact, and ability to withstand rolling friction abuse. It has a very dense structure and a smooth, easy to clean surface. Tuff-Tex has been used satisfactorily in as sembly areas, machine shops, locker rooms, cafeterias, rest rooms, recreation rooms, offices adjacent to manufacturing areas, and in ship ping and warehousing spaces. Since it is a unitlaid floor, it can be repaired easily in case of accidents or alterations. Tvfi'Tcx lick's the grease problem and adds decorative value in the industrial rajeteria oj the Edward K atziiiger plant in Chicago, Illinois.

T I L E - T E V A COMPANY } PLASTI C TILE FLOO ZING F L E X A C H R O M E -T h e P lastic Floor Tile Flexachrome resilient flooring is the result of over nine years research on the part of Tile-Tex laboratories to produce a resilient flooring in tile form that combines the advantages of all types of resilient floorings without their weaknesses. Flexachrome is a composition of specially de veloped plastic binders and placticizers together with asbestos fiber and pigment. It is in no sense an asphalt tile or a rubber tile, but an entirely unique composition with characteristics different from the two products mentioned. Flexachrome combines greaseproofness with high resistance to both acids and alkalis. It can be installed safely on grade or below grade. It possesses high resistance to impact plus remark able flexural strength so that it may be safely installed on both wood and concrete sub-floors. From a maintenance standpo;!Ttrit is exception ally economical to keep clean because of its smooth and closely textured suriace which resists dirt and grime. Color appeal is a paramount requirement in floors today. The Flexachrome color chart shown on the opposite page shows you why Flexa chrome is definitely preferred over other types of resilient floors as far as color is concerned. Special Flexachrome colors are available if quan tity is sufficient to warrant production. Flexachrome is available in the following sizes: 3x3. 3x6. 4x4, 4.-ix4*a. 4x12, 6x6, 6x12, 6xlS, Dxil, 9xlS. 9x27, 12x12, 12x24, 18x18. 18x24 and 6" hexagonal No. 87, Standard thickness is oneeighth inch; three-sixteenth inch thickness avail able on special order.
