There is a decided advantage when the cork is laidin the forms and the concrete floor is poured on top, as 182 INSULATION shown in Figure 108. The two materials are then integraland a better job is obtained at a smaller cost of labor. Thework can be more closely inspected during the construc-tion, which is always important where first-class work isdesired. The cork can be laid in the forms by ordinarylabor if the work is done under the direction of an experi-enced FIG. 108—INSULATING CONCRETE CEILING BY PLACING CORKBOARD IN THE FORMS BEFORE CONCRETE IS POURED. When the insulation is applied on the ceiling after thebuilding is completed, the cork board must be put up froma scaffold placed on the floor below and this requires ex-perienced and high priced labor. The work is done underconditions requiring artiflcial light by which only a super-ficial inspection can be given to the materials and work- INSULATION 183 manship.
