NEW YORK ARCHITECTS USE CORK for many purposes . . .
in many types of buildings
B
ECAUSE cork is an efficient insulating material,
it saves fuel and provides comfort. Because it is unusually resilient, it reduces vibration and quiets moving machinery. Because it absorbs sound, it is valuable for acoustical and sound-quieting treatment.
And because cork is easily installed and does not deteriorate, architects and builders alike prefer to use it wherever its special properties are needed. Armstrong is one of the leading manufacturers of cork products.
On this page are shown or described a few of the New York City buildings for which Armstrong’s Insulation products were selected. There are many more—too many to list here. Other large cities tell the same story.
We will gladly send you complete information about Armstrong’s Insulation products and their uses. Armstrong engineers are always at your service for consulta
tion regarding any insulation, vibration, or acoustical problem. Armstrong Cork & Insulation Co., 902 Concord St., Lancaster, Penna.
WESTERN UNION BUILDING. Armstrong s Corkboard insulates the fresh air intake of the ventilating system. Armstrong s Cork Covering guards brine lines that supply refrigeration to
the cafeteria.
NEW MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York s Palace of Sport, calls on Arm
strong s Corkboard to insulate its large ice skating rink. Moisture resistance and low
conductivity arc both important here.
And these well-known buildings also use Armstrong’s Insulation Products
Empire State Building—Seventy-five thousand square feet of roof space is protected with Armstrong’s Corkboard Roof Insulation.
Chrysler Building—Refrigerators and cold storage rooms in the Cloud Club near the roof are guarded by Armstrong s Corkboard and Cork Covering.
New Waldorf Astoria Hotel—Three carloads of Armstrong’s Corkboard were used in the construc
tion of this building—as roof and cold storage i nsulation.
Psychiatric Hospital—An unusual use of high temperature insulating brick. Nonpareil Brick, made by Armstrong, line the flue to keep heat out of adjoining rooms. Excellent also for use in hotels and apartment houses.
Salvation Army Building—Here Armstrong’s Corkboard insulates the cold storage rooms. Lowconductivity, plus resistance to moisture, has made corkboard standard insulation for cold storage work.
Hell Gate Power Station—The largest operating steam power plant in the world uses Armstrong’s Vibracork to quiet the noise and muffle the vibration of eight large coal pulverizers.
