Rubber Tile Different.
Rubber tile and cork tile, on the
other hand, will slip underfoot,
so such paving is started at one
side. Not until a third OF more OF
the floor is laid. is it walked on.
Detailed instructions, including
special kits of tools required for
the job. and special cements for
each type Of tile, can be obtained
from dealers.
The manufacturers of these
products say that the demands fol

so great that floor covering deal

sell the tiles than bother with the
more expensive details of install

Now, more than ever, when
family incomes lag behind rising
prices. it's smart to be thrifty.
But that doesn't mean one can't
enjoy beautiful home interiors
that are practical and beautiful.
New plastic-f finished wall and
ceiling panels, now on the mar
ket,' transform rooms completely.
Many colors are available in plain
patterns, as we'll as tile and hori-
zontal-line patterns. A number of
rich wood and marble patterns
also are available.
These prefinished wall panels
are relatively economical. In fact,
they soon pay for themselves by
eliminating annual redecorating
expense. No painting, plastering
or periodic redecorating is neces-
sary. The colors stay bright and
cheerful.
Grease. Smudges, mild acids,
alkalies. moisture and household
stains do not harm the lustrous
finish Of this building and re-
modelling material. Dirt wipes of
easily.
Installation is simple, the manu-
facturer says. Anyone handy with
regular carpenters tools can in
stall the big panels. If you're
thinking of remodeling your kitch-
en-, bathroom. utility room, or
making a recreation room or play
room for the children, you may
want to consider there plastic
finished wall and ceiling panels.
Electric DeOdorizer.

If you want something that will
floor you, try rubber tile, asphalt
tile, cork. linoleum, vinyl or the
rest Of the composition and plastic
materials that come in ready-cut
squares. They're all easy to in
stall with the proper know-how
and instructions are available
from dealers in flooring covers or
from department stores.
M. K, jr., Of Salem. Mass,
brings this subject up with a re-
quest for information on how he
can lay rubber tile.
This material, now available in
ut least Is colors with a variety of
gay picture designs for accents,
provides a luxury floor covering
for kitchens, bathrooms and other
areas where easy-to-clean, long
wearing features are needed. I,
A different procedure is called
for in laying these various ma
terials. For example, with asphalt
tile, you stretch a chalk line down
the center of the room and start

job that is fairly permanent. So
you want it done right. If you
have any doubt as to your ability,
1t may be wise to have a profess
sional do the work.
However, SO many people tackle
the work themselves that special
kits, including all tools, chalk
cords, ETC.. are on the market and
have sold in hundreds of thou
sands to date.
One manufacturer contends that
instructions are SO complete the
average handyman can follow
them with complete success.
Evening star., 1951-10-27

In such cases asphalt tile is best
out Of doors, such as ex-
posed porch floors.
A plywood subhoor is ideal for
a rubber tile base. Make sure the
subfioor is free of dirt, dust or
other foreign matter.
Determine Area.
AS a first step, determine the
square footage of the area. From
this figure. your dealer can tell
how many tiles you will need.
Lay a row of loose tiles across
the room. This will show you how
much space must be divided to al
low for borders Of equal width on
each side.
Then stretch and snap chalk
line along the longest wall at the
exact width Of the border. Fit the
border tiles to conform.
From this stage, the laying of
border and main tiles proceeds
according to the manufacturers
directions, expanding or contract
ing borders to conform with an
even number of tiles in the center.
Borders are cemented down and
then the field tiles are cemented.
For spreading adhesive. use a
notched trowel or spreader with
notches 3i32-inch deep, 3/32-inch
wide and hs Inch apart. Spread
6 or 8 feet of adhesive at time,
and set the tile Immediately. A
gallon of adhesive is supposed to
cover 80 to 100 square feet-this
means a kitchen 8 by 10 to 10 by
10 feet.
Start in a Corner.
In cementing down the field tiles
after three borders are laid, start
in one corner and carry three or
four rows across the room.
The marbleized pattern of the
tile should be alternated for best,
effect.
Excess adhesive is removed from
the surface Of the tile while it is
still wet by using a moist cloth.
In any place the adhesive may
have dried it is removed by light
