ROM its private railroad spur in the base
ment to the tip of its glittering twin towers, the Waldorf-Astoria is new. Yet for all its modern building and equipment, the Waldorf is old—old in holding to its famous traditions of “everything for the comfort of patrons.”
Many new ways of providing comfort have been devised since the first Waldorf-Astoria was built in 1893. Insulation, for instance. That’s why the architects and builders of the new Waldorf- Astoria have used 3 carloads of Armstrong’s Corkboard in the building. Part of this insulation was installed on the roof, where it adds to the comfort of top-floor rooms and reduces fuel bills.
The remainder keeps food fresh in the hotel’s system of modern refrigerator rooms.
Cork and cork products serve many uses in modern buildings. Armstrong’s Corkboard, as roof insulation, assures comfortable top-floors and prevents fuel waste. In some recent buildings, it lines radiator recesses to keep costly heat inside.
Air conditioning and ventilating owe a vote of thanks to Armstrong’s Corkboard and Cork Covering, both of which help to control the tem
peratures that make for health and comfort. Armstrong’s Corkoustic and Vibracork maintain quiet, the former by muffling air-borne sounds, the latter by absorbing the vibration and quieting the noise of moving machinery.
