Zenitherm tile samples in red and gold The label on the red sample has “Zenitherm, a product of Structural Gypsum Corp., 535 Fifth Avenue, New York City” and this presumably is an earlier product, before the company was established as “Zenitherm Company, Inc., 390 Frelinghuysen Ave., Newark, N.J.” as shown on the gold sample. In a 1930 catalogue the company's address is given as “110 East 42nd Street, New York City”, with factory and general offices at “Kearny, New Jersey”. The literature below notes that: Zenitherm is not a thin material like linoleum; the specifications give the thickness of floor tiles as ¾", and stair treads were available in 1¼". Interior wall material was offered in 5/8" thickness; exterior in ¾" or 7/8". Zenitherm could be “nailed, sawed, drilled, or screwed, like wood”. |
