Bastenne Bitumen Company,
OFFICES, 31, Poultry.
THE Directors of this Company beg leave to call your attention
to the very beneficial results attendant on the use of Bitumen in the erection of Buildings, &c.
1st.-Its application as a Flooring in Malt-houses, Granaries, Tun-rooms of Breweries, &c. will be found eminently useful; also, in lieu of Stone or Brick for the basement of Dwelling-houses, &c. It excludes all moisture, noxious vapours from drains, rats and vermin of all sorts; it affords a dry warm footing, and is in appearance neater than stone.
2ndly. For the covering of railway arches, vaults, or cellars, a slight coating keeps out all rain or dripping, protects the brickwork, and adds solidity to the arch.
3dly. For roofs it is superior to any thing hitherto introduced, and on flat roofs a tank can be made to contain rain water.
4thly. For water-tanks, the river fronts of wharfs, &c. or on the tops of walls or any brickwork, a coating of Bitumen serves all purposes to which lead, stone, and cement are now applied, with far greater effect and at much less cost. Brickwork cemented with Bitumen instead of mortar is impervious to wet, far more solid, and for
the same reasons infinitely more durable, and in wet or damp situations its use in this way tends to the comfort and durability of houses in an inconceivable degree.
5thly. For the Flooring of Conservatories, Hothouses, &c. it is eminently preferable to any other, not only for its durability and uniform neatness, but from its being of an equal temperature in all seasons, and for Ornamental Garden Walks as it excludes weeds and fungi.
Cards of Prices and Particulars, may be obtained at the Company's Office; or a Superintendant will attend to give information where work is required.
