This striking floor is made up of alternate eight- inch squares of black and white Linotile laid diagonally Pei oN eee le pe leo Ds BR ie Lae Oe arhre vo The Floor Problem HE floor problem is always a vexing one. No- where is it more troublesome than in offices, banks, stores, churches, lobbies, and other places of public or semi-public character, although the flooring of certain rooms in private residences—such as kitchens, pantries, sun rooms, bathrooms, and laundries—presents a prob- lem that is equally difficult of solution. The Essential Points Experience shows that the floors, or floor coverings, in general use at the present time fail either in one or more respects to meet all the requirements of an ideal floor for such purposes. Certainly, to lay claim to such distinction, the material should possess at least the following characteristics. It should be: le Resilient 6. Easy to Keep Clean 2. Non-slippery 7. Odorless 3. Silent Underfoot 8. Artistic 4. Warm 9. Durable 5. Sanitary 10. Reasonable in Cost Linotile more nearly approximates these requirements than any floor that has yet been devised. What Linotile Is Linotile is composed of clean, powdered cork (the outer bark of the cork oak tree), wood flour, pure linseed oil, various gums and suitable pigments. The several ingredients are thoroughly mixed, then compressed into sheets 14 inch thick. These sheets are next subjected to a seasoning process until they are thor- oughly cured, and the material is then cut into tiles of the desired shape and size. The floor and stair treads of Linotile in the store of Saks & Company, New York City, cover an area of 11,800 square feet. The use of the black spot tile to relieve the plain white field produces quite an effective design. Both the black and white tile are eight inches square The Merits of Linotile The substances of which Linotile 1s composed are naturally elastic. Examination of a small sample of the material or, better still, to walk upon a Linotile floor is ample to demonstrate its elasticity and resilience. Linotile is remarkably easy underfoot, even when in- stalled on a concrete base. It is especially well suited, therefore, for flooring banks, theatres, ticket offices, lobbies, kitchens, etc., where people constantly have to stand. 1. Linotile Is Resilient Nothing is more objectionable in a floor than slipperiness. The powdered cork and other ingredients in Linotile provide a surface that 6 2.

Falls on hardwood, marble, and other highly polished floors are almost daily occurrences. The installation of Linotile will, in large measure, eliminate such accidents, since it affords a firm, secure foothold. It is especially adapted on this account for flooring kitchens, serving pantries, restaurants, elevators, ramps, stair treads, elevator landings, steamer decks, etc. a. Owing to the natural elasticity of the materials 5. ae of which it 1s composed, Linotile is practically ene noiseless iO: the tread. And nothing is more essential in libraries, churches and art galleries, or more desirable in offices, banks, residences and stores, than In the general office of The Douglas Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Linotile floor is composed of twelve-inch light brown squares, two by twelve-inch white oblongs and two-inch dark green squares. The border is light brown Linotile. Architect: Mr. Harry Edgar Hunter, Cedar Rapids, Iowa i 1 le NR ECOe oie a leary Fee i Oe Ola ahs the elimination of noise. Linotile does much to accomplish this end—not only by diminishing the noise of foot traffic, but also by absorbing and deadening sounds arising from other sources. One of the chief objections to terrazzo, marble, and glazed tile floors is their coldness. These Always Warm ee materials are all heavy and dense, and there- Vepiahhe fore are good conductors of heat. Linotile, on the other hand, is a onconductor of heat, and hence is a warm, comfortable floor to stand or work on. Unlike rubber tile, however, Linotile does not “draw” the soles of the feet, or make them hot and feverish. For offices, barber shops, ticket offices, restaurants and kitchens, no floor is more condu- cive to health and comfort. 4. Linotile Is The fresh, clean appearance of this kitchen in the residence of Mr. L. Stockstrom, St. Louis, Mo., is due in no small measure to the Linotile floor. Six-inch squares of white and light blue Linotile are separated by three-eighths-inch dark green interlining strips, and the whole is surrounded by a border of dark green 8 The silence of Linotile makes it especially suitable for churches and auditoriums. The floor in St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, York, Pa., is of six-inch squares of light brown Linotile with one-quarter-inch dark brown interlining strips between To be sanitary, any floor must be nonabsorbent and free from cracks and crevices for dust and germs to collect in. It is here that most of the floors or floor coverings, in general use, are found wanting. Linotile, on the other hand, meets both of these require- ments. The character of the materials of which Linotile 1s com- posed and the great pressure to which it is subjected during the process of manufacture, combine to render it practically non- absorbent. Proof of the nonabsorptive quality of Linotile is found in the fact that grease or oil spilled on the surface may be readily washed off, no stain whatever remaining. Even ink leaves no trace, provided it is not allowed to dry, but is wiped up immediately. Se Lanortie Is Thoroughly Sanitary Because of its durability and the ease with which it can be cleaned, Linotile gives excellent satisfaction where people are constantly passing to and fro. The safe deposit vault of the First National - Bank, Portland, Oregon, is floored with four-inch white tile with light gray interlining strips and a light gray border In laying Linotile, the joints are sealed effectually with Non- pareil Waterproof Cement—a permanent, durable compound— which is unaffected by moisture or by ordinary heat and cold, after it has set. Rounded sanitary cove and base are also fur- nished, if desired, thus eliminating corners, which serve as gather- ing places for dust and germs. An additional feature which adds to the sanitary qualities of Linotile is the germicidal action of the linseed o1l—one of its chief ingredients. This property of linseed oil has long been known, but within the last few years investigations conducted by a European scientist* have apparently demonstrated that the oil, even in the altered form in which it appears in Linotile, retains * Dr. Ludwig Bitter, in “Zeitschrift fiir Hygiene” 10 ee Nee Op cl ein Le B Re a tOs ee Oot eRe aS its bactericidal properties for years. On this account, Linotile makes a particularly desirable floor for hospitals, dispensaries, kitchens, laundries, etc. The surface of a Linotile floor being smooth and even, with no open joints, the task of keeping it clean, and what is really more important, clean lookinesis.an casy matter: Ihe latter issparticularly true if the proper color combinations are specified for rooms where there is a great deal of passing to and fro. Frequent mopping, with an occasional scrubbing, is all that is necessary. (See page 32.) This fact alone makes Linotile a very satisfactory floor for hallways, kitchens, elevators, church aisles, lobbies, stair treads, etc. 6. Linotile Is Easy to Clean Linotile, being clean, sanitary and practically silent underfoot, makes a floor for hospital corridors that is nearly ideal. In this floor six-inch light gray squares are combined with three-inch by six-inch dark gray oblongs, three-inch light gray squares and three-eighths-inch white interlining strips. A border of light gray is used on each side. Sacred Heart Sanitarium, Mil- waukee,Wis. Messrs. Brust & Phillips, architects, Milwaukee, Wis. 11 Linotile makes a different kind of bathroom floor. Not only is it easy to clean and keep clean, but it is warm underfoot as well, The floor shown here, in the residence of Dr. E. K. Conrad, Hack- ensack, N. J., consists of four-inch squares of light green Linotile with one- quarter-inch white interlining strips, and a light green border see It is not claimed that Linotile is entirely free 7. ae Ls from odor when first installed. Within a few ek days, however, all traces of odor disappear. In this respect, Linotile stands in marked contrast to rubber tile, whose peculiar odor frequently persists for long periods. On ac- count of its freedom from this objectionable characteristic, Lino- tile is very desirable for museums, art galleries, steamer saloons, and cabins, which are often difficult to ventilate thoroughly. Any floor to be genuinely artistic in appearance must possess individuality and lend itself readi- ly to harmonious treatment, both in design and color. How thoroughly Linotile meets these re- quirements is apparent from an examination of the attractive 2 8.

The number of combinations possible from the eleven colors and vari- ous sizes in which the material is manufactured is almost endless. Those submitted here are merely suggestive. Linotile affords the architect and owner unlimited opportunity to provide floors that are distinctive in character and in thorough consonance with the furniture and interior decorative scheme. Every Linotile floor is built to fit the room. The inherent wearing quality of Linotile is be- 9. Linotile Is yond question. The material has no grain like Ohare wood, and hence does not splinter. It is not brit- tle or rigid like cement and, therefore, does not crumble. It stays “put.”’ Even under the heavi- est sort of foot traffic, Linotile will wear for years if properly in- stalled and cared for. The illustration on this page gives some concrete evidence as to the durability of Linotile. The tile on the right is a 4-inch square of light gray Linotile, which was a part of the floor laid in elevator No. 4 in the Great Southern Life Building, Dallas, Texas, in the early part of December, 1914. Thirteen months later this tile was removed for examination and, as can be clear- ly seen, it had worn down scarcely 3's inch, or less than one-quarter of its original thickness. The management of the Great Southern Life Building estimate 850,000 persons had passed over this particular piece of Linotile durine that times It is in- teresting to note that the floor of rubber tile, which Service The tile on the right in this photograph is a piece of Linotile 1 j after thirteen months’ service in elevator No. 4, ae Li uO tile replaced, NS Cree Southern Life Building, Dallas, Texas. women 4 ompare it with the tile on the left, 16 inch thick and wore out which shows the thickness of the Linotile when laid completely in eleven months. Few floors have to withstand harder usage than those in the moving picture theatres of today. But because of its exceptional durability, Linotile is peculiarly well-suited for this kind of service. In the Circle Theatre, Indianapolis, Ind., the floor is composed of ten-inch squares of light and dark gray Linotile laid diagonally, with a light gray border. Archi- tects: Messrs.

Ol eae Be Le One Oe, Rama The Care of Linotile Floors Cleaning. No hard and fast rule can be laid down as to the fre- quency of scrubbing Linotile floors. In some cases, where the foot traffic is quite heavy and considerable quantities of mud and dirt are tracked in from the outside, thorough cleansing will be nec- essary every day or so. For other floors, such as those in residence sun rooms and kindred places, scrubbing once a month will prob- ably suffice. Use two buckets for the cleaning operation—one containing lukewarm water (from 80° to 90° F.), and soap or soap chips, the other clear water of the same temperature, for rinsing. The latter should be changed frequently. Hot water should not be used under any circumstances. After thoroughly rinsing the surface, dry it immediately with a soft, clean cloth. It is quite important that none of the soap be allowed to remain in solution on the sur- face of the floor. Soaps containing rosin should never be used. This point cannot be emphasized too strongly. White soaps are prefer- able. White soap chips, which are manufactured by most soap manufacturers and many of the packing houses, have been found to give excellent results. Between scrubbings it should be possible to keep the floor in good condition simply by mopping it dry or with clear, lukewarm water, as the necessity arises. Polishing. The occasional polishing of Linotile floors adds greatly to their attractiveness, and makes them considerably easier to clean and keep clean. Excellent results can be obtained by the use of “Old English Brightener” and other compounds similar in composition. To polish a Linotile floor, a soft cloth, preferably cheese cloth, should be thoroughly dampened, but in no sense saturated with the polishing agent. Under no circum- stances should it be possible to wring a drop of liquid from the cloth. This is a very important point, for if the cloth contains even the slightest excess of the liquid it will leave a film on the surface of the floor, and dust will collect. Treat only a small section of the floor at a time, applying the polishing liquid thinly and evenly. Let it dry thoroughly for at 32 Wee No TO Lay Weel SE Pik Om Ors Rass least fifteen minutes, and then polish it by rubbing quickly and lightly with a clean, soft cloth. A beautiful polish will result. Furniture on Linotile. Linotile, like other resilient materials, is likely to be marred by the metal castors on furniture. It is advisable, therefore, to place glass cups under all metal castors, or replace the metal castors with sliding metal shoes or felt castors. This recommendation applies to chairs as well as to heavier articles. Sliding metal shoes have a wide bearing surface and no rough edges. They are made in several sizes, and have a shank similar to that on regular castors and will fit in the same sockets. They can be procured from almost any furniture or hardware dealer.
