you can solve many Building Problems with CORK
A few of them are shown on this and the following page . . . Many other uses are
being employed daily by architects
CORK CUSHIONS
BUFFALO R. R. TERMINAL
V
IBRATION is not admitted to the Buffalo passenger terminal of the New York Central Railroad. Columns and floors over track levels and over streets are sheathed with 2-inch layers of cork. Cork also insulates the passenger concourse and waiting room against outside temperatures. The sketches here show how it was applied.
Wherever moving machinery causes vibration, cork muffles both the vibration and the noise that accompanies it. Whole buildings can be isolated with Armstrong’s Vibracork as well as all types of machinery.
The sketch above shows detail of insulation around columns; that below, detail of
floor construction.

CORK KEEPS DRINKING
WATER COOL
Armstrong s Cork Covering insulates these drinking water lines at the Kansas City Athletic Club, Kansas City, Mo.
Cool drinking water, in adequate quantity and of good quality, is imperative in modern buildings.
Guests in hotels, tenants of office buildings and apartments, visitors to public buildings, students in school, and workers in shops, mills, stores, and factories are entitled to easy access to cool, wholesome, palatable water.
Armstrong’s Cork Covering is the ideal insulation for refrigerated drinking water systems and all cold lines. It prevents refrigeration loss, is durable, easily applied, and presents a neat finished appearance.
CORK QUIETS
BROADCASTING ROOMS
Air-borne sounds yield to the quieting influence of Armstrong’s Corkoustic. For instance, radio station WCFL in Chicago is completely quieted by cork panels on the walls and ceilings.
Corkoustic is more than just a practical acoustical treatment. It insulates as well. And it lends itself to many decorative designs. Used either plain or with water paints, Corkoustic is a distinct aid in decoration.

ings cut down sound.

quiets the floor, too.
