CRESSONITE TILES.
NEW FORM OF RESILIENT
RUBBER FLOORING
.
With the recent opening of the St. Teresa's Church In Kowloon, public interest has no doubt been aroused by a new type of flooring used therein around the altar, that of Cressonite Rabber Tiles,
This new type of rubber flooring differs from the ordinary rubber flooring generally used in that it consists of rigid cementitious tiles with a very resilient rubber sur- face Inseparably bonded together by a patent process, and the unity of the rubber to the base is such an to be permanently proof against creep. ing, bulging, lifting or edge-curling.
This in the first flooring of its kind to be laid in this Colony, and with the introduction of Cressonite rubber tiles a new field is opened for the architect, contractor and builder, as it brings rubber floor- ing not only into easier construc- tural and commercial application for public buildings, but also with the possibility of its more populár domestie adoption.
Domestic Use Alao. Cressonite rubber tiles are not only suitable as an ideal flooring but are also adaptable for panelling of walls, cellings, partitions, sereens and doura. As a covering stair for atairs also Cressonite trends and risers have no equal and are indispensable in public build- inge, such as theatres, hotels, offices of the etc. where silence is one predominating essentials,
It will be readily conceded that rabber is an eminently desirable floor covering, material because it is noiseless, resillent, shock-absorbing, and bygienic and dampproof.
rubber tiles offer all Cressonite these advantages and can be highly recommended for any type of bulldings.
Cressonite rubber tiles are al- ready well known in Singapore throughout the F. M. S. and Pennng, as well as in a few other places in the East, and there is no doubt that for those who are seek- ing a new type of good flooring they will prove extremely popular,
Cressonite rubber tiles are manu- factured in Singapore by the Singn- Works Ltd. and pore Rubber handled locally by the firm of Shewan, Tomes and Company.
