SPINTEX HOME iNSULATION
is a- new 6-page illustrated folder de: .,, scribing the mineral wool insulation, i available from Johns-Manville Corp., 22E.401',h St., New York City 16.
The new tile takes advantage of two trends important to increased lumber dealer sales, the company pointed out. F'irst, it provides comiortable noise deadening-a QuietZgne ceiling absorbs up to 20 times more sound than ordinary ceilings, and, second, decorator color is added.
The Fiesta pattern is expected to find wide use in new building and remodeling of such areas as recreation rooms, kitchens and family and living rooms.
The white, linen-textured Linear Random tile also has been modified to increase sound-absorbing capacity and consists of increasing the number of perforations and narrowing the unperforated margins on each tile. Thus, in an installation, visual emphasis on tile joints is reduced in favor of an ey,:pleasing, uniform, over-all ceiling effect. The greater number of perforations also increases the noise-reducing capacity of the tile. Celotex also announced that the Standard Perforated tile has been re-ddsigned with a greater number of perforations and narrowed unperforated margins on each tile for greater sound absorption and improved over-al.l appearance of an installation.
