Kolor-Fast Nu-\flood a Fade'Proof lnterior Finish Announced

The Wood Conversion Company, manufacturers of Nu-Wood and Balsam\Mool, has just announced Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood a new improvement in insulating interiof finish. It is stated that this new product is the first of its type for rvhich fade-Proof qualities are claimed. These claims are based on severe tests bY national- cessful in Sta-Lite' The bevel at the joint is less obtrusive and more refined.

"In order to be sure of the fade-proof qualities of KolorFast Nu-Wood, we subjected it to the most severe tests we could find. The product has been tested by exposure for mbnths under the strong tropical sun in addition to other standard laboratory tests. We have checked it against all types of fabrics, wall papers and other commercial products-which claim to have these qualities' Such comparisons have impressed us with the extremely high qualities of this product."

Mr. Ward further stated that a new clip system for blind nailing with the new tongue and grove joint is noln' available. hhe clip is so designed that it can be used in either the tongue or the groove. This, he said, was of'major importance, because with the clip, the contractor could coniinue to lay Tile and Plank in the same manner he rvas accustomed io without the necessity of driving nails through the face at the edges of the Tile and Plank'

Plank in variegated and tan colors. Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast Board is available in tan. The colors are richer and clearer than before' The over-all colors are slightly lighter giving the material a higher light reflection value in keeping with the modern tendency in interior decoration.

In announcing Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood, P' A' Ward, general sales manager, said: "Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast is the result of years of development work, aimed definitely at producing a product which could be considered a lifetime interior decoration. Heretofore, all insulating interior finish board materials have been subject to oxidization which resttlted over a period of years in darkening of the material'

"The announcement of Nu-Wood Sta-Lite just a year ago \\ras the first step in the development of fade-proof qialities in insulating interior finish' This product has prolred the possibility of fade-proof interior finish, so the irext step of making variegatecl colors of the same qualities u,as inevitable.

"In Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood, rve have succeeded in retaining the attractive texture of Nu-Wood' We have imp.o,r"J the colors' On the Plank and Tile we have put " ,r"* tongue and joint treatment which proved so suc-

The new Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast will replace the present Nu-Wood Variegated Tile and Plank' The company' however, will continue to furnish the old type of Nu-Wood to fill out stocks. Further inlormation on this new product may be obtained from the Wood Conversion Company' Saint Paul, Minnesota.
