This means that the air must be in sealed spaces and that thespaces must be minutely small—otherwise the essential idea of still air isoverthrown. The insulation must depend for its entrapped air upon theinterstices or cells of the material employed rather than upon alternate layersof solid insulation and air spaces. This new principle of insulation, which does away with double walls withair spaces between, has brought into vogue solid insulation, says a writer inthe Cement Age. In this type the protection of layers or blocks ofvarious materials set in Portland pitch cement directly against brick or concretewalls and protected on the inside surface by plaster or tile. The spaceoccupied by solid insulation is much less
