United State Gypsum C,ompa.ny has announced two new g:nlsum products speci- fically formulated for electric cable heat: Red Top Radiant lleat Plaster and Plasterbase. The plaster is used to embed the cable which is stapled to the plasterbase.

Prioi to this, the plaster installations tended to develop unsightly cracking at the unreinforced lath joints, and the larninated drywall installations tended to delaminate. With these products, on temperature limitations exist when used with 2.75 or lower watt-per-lineal-foot cable, providing the watt-density of the installed cable does not exceed 25 watts-per-square-foot.
