NEW YORK ARCHITECTS USE CORK for many purposes . . .

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.
