"The spurt in tile sales to retail outlets over the last 18 months indicates an awakening to tl-re importance of residential sound conditioning on-the part of home orvrers," Gray said, "because much of the perforated tile is moving across lumber yard counters into the hands of do-it-yourself enthusiasts who are putting it on their ceilings.

"This sound-cluieting tile is being solcl in suificient qrrarl- tity to cover the living room ceilings of more tl.ran twothircls of the estin.ratecl 1,000,000 or more new houses being btrilt this year."
