DAMP ROOFING OF MODERN BUILDINGS hcnrv.m tc?m ' n.-.«iMiLi«K tosh ' Established 1848 / * y Tbcfe> S retried MANUFACTURERS and IMPORTERS Specialists in.

K.I.W. 232 damp-resisting paint is intended for the inside of .the exposed walls of brick buildings prior to plastering. By the use of ”RI.W. 232” all forms of lathing may be done away, all chances of any decay of wood or metal eliminated by not using them, and the building is rendered absolutely damp-proof “R.I.W. 232” remains tacky for a period of about three months, but should not be exposed direct to the sun or the elements. It can be plastered on 24 hours after its application. Toxement (patented) is a waterproof material, in powder form, which, when mixed to the extent of two per cent, of the neat Portland Cement used, will absolutely waterproof concrete for floors, foundations, elevator and boiler pits, cement, stucco, etc. . Toxement produces a distinct chemical reaction between cement and itself, which physically fills up all voids. In thirty days this reaction is complete, after which time the concrete or cement mortar is waterproof up to fifty pounds pressure per square inch. Toxloxpore is a clear colourless liquid for waterproofing brick or limestone. It makes • a porous red brick waterproof without changing its colour or the artistic effect of a natural brick appearance. The problems set out above are, many of them, just coming into existence in Australasia, and building on the experiences of other countries, there is no reason why the steel and concrete work of. our buildings should not be made to last for all time, or why our materials should not be made proof against decay of all kinds. ' Over 10,000 buildings in the United States and Canada have now been treated without a single failure, and so great' is the trade of Messrs. Toch Bros, growing that they have recently acquired a site in Canada, and this year will erect new works fitted with the latest technical plant for manufacturing their specialities. ’
