Few new buildings rise today in which some Armstrong Cork product does not play an important part. In addition to roof insulation, Armstrong’s Corkboard is ideally suited for insu
lating walls of buildings. Armstrong’s Corkoustic, the cork material for acoustical treatment and
sound-quieting, also insulates against heat and cold. Corkoustic improves hearing conditions in churches, auditoriums, and theatres; quiets sound in banks, schools, hospitals, offices, Sunday School rooms, factories, and other commercial and public buildings. Resilient Vibracork absorbs shocks and muffles moving machinery. Arm
strong’s and Nonpareil Insulating Brick insulate against high temperatures. Used in apartment house stacks, they keep heat from adjoining rooms.
