New products trim building costs
How big is the backlog behind the next building boon? The government has set its sights on 26 million new housing units by 1978, but this figure hardly reflects the gleam of new money in circulation by that time. Average U.S. income rose 29% from 1959 to 1967 (from $5,000 to $8,000), even after adjusting for price increases, and the Census Bureau reveals that nearly 8 million families escaped the sub$5,000 income basement. Presumably, this trend is continuing to add at least a million families a year to the logjam of potential home buyers whose dammed-up dollars await lower interest rates.
IMPERIAL* Veneer plaster partitions are considered basic to
sped and cost control in housing. And U.S.G. has new vinyl
trims that make partitions as safe, sealed and soundproof as
any wall. New P-1 vinyl trim is an ingenious finned
channel that fits over partition edges which abut ceilings,
outer walls and jambs. P-1 conceals relief joints, seals out
air and moisture, and blocks sound transmission--gives a
flexible, permanent seal that's effective without caulking,
and a neat trim edge that can be "painted" into the wall or
left white. Perimeter relief is necessary for radiant heat
ceilings. New U.S.G. P-2 Vinyl Trim is recommended to
conceal the continuous relief joint between IMPERIAL plaster
partitions and RED TOP* Radiant Heat Plaster ceilings.
P-2 is designed for simple friction-fit.
It can be cut or mitered with knife or razor blade. This
trim hides
to 7" control joints. It can also be used with
drywall wherever a casing bead or stop would be used to
conceal a continuous, clean joint.
New veneer
tex fares speed the French Quarter to Ohio
A Cleveland developer recreated the character of New
Orleans' famous French Quarter for a suburban shopping
center by using the IMPERIAL plastering system. He brought
the character of the Vieux Carre (that's New Orleans talk
for French Quarter) to the shopping center with new textured
treatments of IMPERIAL. Y/ith the IMPERIAL plaster system,
work was completed much sooner than with other interior
finishing methods. Mornings.
IMPERIAL Plaster Base was
hung on wooden studs. Afternoons, IMPERIAL Basecoat Plaster
was applied. Evenings, finishing touches were added with
STRUCTO-GAUGE* Plaster and lime putty--employing different
finish textures for each of the shops and offices in the
center. In office areas where superior sound isolation was
desired, U.S.G.'s RC-1 Resilient Channels and THERMAFIBER*
Sound Attenuation Blankets were used with the IMPERIAL
plaster system.
