Brixite is scientifically designed and carefully produced to exacting standards. The core is half-inch Canec rigid insulation board; encasing the core completely is a waterproof saturant, impervious to moisture, which seals the core on all sides; a mineral blended asphalt, processed under high temperature, coats the exterior surface of the unit, after which it is covered with a special granule surface, weather-proofed fire-resistant, and handsome enough to add to the beauty of any building. Each panel is shiplapped on all four edges, fitting snugly into its neighboring panels, permanently interlocked and impervious to weather or draft.

In order to promote distribution in the western area, effective sales aids will be available. Foremost among these aids is an elaborate, full-color catalogue.
