Do you want a quiet home or office? Do you want fire protection? Do you want to save heat- ing costs in winter and eliminate sweating walls in Hongkong's summer humidity? Cellocrete will give you all this and more!

Cellocrete provides these amenities of life more effectively and efficiently than other building materials. It saves you money in the process! How? By its amazing adaptability, efficiency, and ease of handling, which cuts material and labour costs in half! One cubic foot of Cellocrete weighs 25 lbs. In comparison, normal brickwork weighs 105 lbs. Where weight is a factor to be considered, Cellocrete is the answer.

Sound travels directly through wooden floors; through concrete along its length, width, and up and down the supporting beams and columns. With Cellocrete this just does not happen. Sound is deadened and absorbed by it. Tests on a two inch Cellocrete partition wall showed transmitted sound as less than one-fifth of 1% at a frequency of 512 cycles.

If you

live in an apartment, Cellocrete will eliminate noise from your neighbours above, below, and next door! The Fire Resistance Period (F.R.P.) of a three inch thick Cellocrete Partition, plastered half inch thick each side, has an F.R.P. of two hours; (a brick wall requires 8 in.) two inch thick partition slabs an F.R.P. of one hour. This F.R.P. conforms to Hongkong regulations and requirements. Cellocrete has been Test Chamber Tested and withstood a temperature of 1,700 degrees Farenheit for one hour and completely prevented fire from reaching the outside of the partition wall. The temperature outside the partition did not exceed 105°F Cellocrete will save you money in winter heating costs! When d difference in temperature exists between two sides of a wall, wastage of heat and fuel occurs with every square foot of uninsulated wall. Cellocrete provides an effective barrier against heat and cold transmission. Consider these facts, then :
