Hy-Rib

Some reasons why you
should use
Colliery

Hy-Rib for

Buildings.

It’s all in the Rigid Rib.

In the first place the nature of the ground demands a light
type of building, otherwise there is considerable risk of collapse.

The cost of the building, and the time required for its erection,
are also important factors. This is especially the case at the
moment owing to the high cost of labour and the scarcity of it.

Build with Hy-Rib. Briefly, Hy Rib is a unique form of
Metal Lathing, made of best quality steel sheets. It has a
special stiffening rib (see illustration). This lath takes plaster
more readily than the usual lath and also greatly reduces waste of

material. Its use for walls, partitions, floors and roofs, enables
you to build quickly, easily and economically, and gives the
maximum of strength with the minimum of constructional steel.
Such a building puts less load on the ground than any other
type of permanent building, consequently Hy-Rib construction
is eminently suitable for colliery buildings and is in great demand
in colliery districts.

Our new handbook, " Hy-Rib for Factories,” gives fuller
particulars and also illustrates Hy-Rib in use. Please write for
a copy, mentioning this journal.
