PRODUCTS--Armstrong's Corkboard, Armstrong's Cork Covering, Arm strong's Vibracork, Armstrong's Corkoustic, Armstrong's Temlok, Armstrong's Temcoustic, Armstrong's Insulation Sundries.
Corkboard Sizes
Armstrong's Corkboard is furnished in rigid boards 12 in. by 36 in., 12 in. x 32 in., 18 in. x 36 in., 24 in. x 36 in., and 36 in. x 36 in., in several thicknesses: 1 in., 1in., 2 in., 3 in., 4 in., and 6 in.
Insulating Efficiency
The thermal conductivity of Arm strong's Corkboard, depending on the density, is 0.27 to 0.29 B.t.u. per hour per inch thickness at 90 deg F mean tempera ture (U. S. Bureau of Standards).
The. value of adequate and efficient insulation is covered in the-text section of this book (Chapter 5) and the tables on pages 112 to 124 indicate the savings which can be effected by using 1)4 in. or 2 in. of corkboard in standard wall and roof con struction. The reduction in heat loss amounts to from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. This means that an adequate thickness of corkboard on walls and roofs reduces the heat wasted, and, therefore,. the heat re quirements of the house by 25 per cent to 40 per cent.
Air Conditioning
An adequate thickness of corkboard in sulation is essential for any air con ditioned room or structure. Insulation reduces the amount of heating or re frigerating equipment required to produce "desired temperatures and is highly impor tant to the satisfactory and economical . control of humidity conditions.
The insulation of air conditioning equip
ment assures economical and efficient
operation by minimizing refrigeration
losses. De-humidifying chambers and
ducts as well as pumps and brine storage
tanks may be insulated with Armstrong's
Corkboard. The economies resulting
from the application of Armstrong's Cork
Covering to all cold iines repay the cost
of the insulation and assure additional
refrigeration savings. ,
v
The elimination of noise and vibration,
transmission is of primary importance in
air conditioning work. Armstrong's Vibra
cork, made in three densities, is ideal for
this purpose. It does not take a set, is not
affected by atmospheric moisture, and will
not deteriorate in service.

EAGLE HOME INSULATION
The Eagle-Picher Lead Company manu
factures two types of "mineral wool" in
sulation for homes: (1) in granulated form
for pneumatic application in new and
existing construction. (2) in bat form for
new construction.
Both types are wall-thick, non-struc-
tural, extremely light-weight, non-cor
rosive, fire-proof--with thermal conduc
tance (in applied thickness of 3)4 in.) of
only 0.074 Btu. (The over-all con
ductance would be
considerably lower).

homes cooler in
summer (12 to 15
deg cooler than
outdoor tempera
tures), and warmer
in winter (fuel

per cent).
For Pneumatic Application
In granulated form, Eagle Insulation is blown into hollow spaces between wall studdings and between joists in the attic floor by a special pneumatic process. No building alterations are necessary, whether the house is of frame, brick or stucco con struction. No mussing up inside. Work is done by skilled contractors, licensed by Eagle-Picher.
Bat Form

Eagle Insulat ing Bats are rec tangular pads 15 in. x 18 or 23 in. x
in., designed to fit snugly be tween studding and joists. Irregular spaces around doors and
windows filled by cutting bats to exact size.
