Moistite a New Waterproof Sheathin$ and Car Liner

The invention of Moistite marks an epoch in the paper making industry. Through a single operation during the making of a building, paper, especially processed bitumen is ingeniously introduced to produce a waterproof sheet which has unusual tensile strength and efficient insulating qualities.

Moistite Is Different

By tearing Moistite, one plainly sees the dark-colored processed bitumen which is in the center of the sheet, proving that Moistite is not a laminated sheet*not two plies of paper stuck together. Tearing it will also reveal how the asphalt has been scientifically applied and how it is really sealed within the inner plies of the paper. This bitumen so thoroughly saturates and binds together the-ce inner fibres that it becomes an integral part of the paper itself.

Moistite Has Many Advantages

Moistite is strong, easy to apply, clean to handle, and is light in color. While common red rosins, gray sheathing papers and blue plaster boards have their place as building papers, it must be remembered that they are not marketed as waterproof papers. Moistite does not, absorb moisture and it does not dry out and become brittle, as do the papers that are simply glazed with asphalt.

For Buildings Being Constructed

Architects, engineers and contractors agree that most walls, and especially those in frame construction, which are exposed to the weather, should be insulated. Moistite is exactly suited to this purpose. It can be easily appJied direct to the sheathing-boirds under all exterior finishes, such as stucco, shingles, brick veneer and clapboards (rus- tic). Moistite can 6e used in place of back plaster. F'or inside construction. Moistite is used up and down on the vertical studs before the lath and plaster are applied. Thus Moistite effectively insulates the building against -qild, dampness, the coldof winter and the heat of summer. Moistite helps to maintain an even temperature within a building throughout all seasons. Moistite is vermin-p-roof, germpr6of, sanltary and will last indefinitely. As it is watcrproof it is well adapted for lining or other places where moisture predominatts. A new field has been developed for Moistite. - It is exceptionally good for car lining.

Moistite Under Floors

Because of the sanitary, waterproof and sound-deadening qualities of Moistite, it is adaptable for.use under hardwood doors oner both old and new sub-flooring. By resisting, it helps to prevent buckling, especially where floors extend ovel an open porch or on first floors, which are directly over draughty basements. Moisture bends easily at sharp angles without breaking, and as it is light .gray- in color, it cannot discolor the baseboards. Moistite likewise makes a good covering for stairs and is also valuable to use under carpets and under both old and new linoleum.

Moistite in Roof Construction

In these days of rising fuel costs, it is desirable that ceilings, and espicially rodfs, be properly insulated. During (Continued on Page 12)
