Ask Your Builder. 
Ask him to explain how you can reduce the “up¬ 
keep” of your home and make it fire-safe by pro¬ 
tecting the “vulnerable points” listed below .with 
Xno-Siurn 
METAL LATH 
“The Steel Heart of Plaster” 
Fire Prevention 
(1) Bearing Partitions, stud and exterior walls, in¬ 
cluding fire stops. 
(2) Ceilings under inhabited floors. 
(3) At chimney breasts, over heating plants. 
(4) Stair wells and under stairs. 
(5) For exterior stucco. 
Crack Prevention 
(1) Use Kno-Burn on ceilings of living room, din¬ 
ing room, entry hall, around and under stairs 
and stairwells. 
(2) Use a 12" strip of Kno-Burn bent into corners 
of dining room, living room and entry hall. 
(3) It is well also to use Kno-Burn for walls of 
all principal rooms. 
UVEN a frame home can, at very small additional 
cost, be made fire safe ,—every wall a barrier that 
will bar the passage of flames for at least an hour. 
The National Board of Underwriters has given offi¬ 
cial recognition to this fact, so often confirmed in actual 
experience. For after severe fire tests they have 
awarded to walls of incombustible plaster on metal lath 
a full 1 hour rating. 
That first swift, deadly rush of fire is stopped by 
walls of steel and plaster. The ever lurking fire menace 
thus has far less terror for the family whose home is 
protected by KNO-BURN Metal Lath.
