Soffit
Offer Low Cost
Fire-Safe
Construction For
Farm Buildings
EPHRATA, PA. The
modern trend is toward the
use of concrete Soffit Block
floor systems for floor con
struction in farm buildings.
A Soffit floor is the most
economical and most fire-
Safe floor system available
for today’s farmer.
Soffit-type floor systems com
pare favorably in initial cost with
floor systems built of less wear
worthy materials, although their
greatest economy is found in the
long range savings accumulated
drum low upkeep cost and low fire
insurance rates.
A floor system built with con
crete Soffit Block almost never
needs repairing. It is a perma
nent floor that is capable of carry
ing great loads of forage, gram
and farm machinery without un
due stress on the floor itself.
Tests show that a Soffit floor can
carry loads up to 183 lbs per
square foot, with the resulting de
flection totalmg only 1-7/32 of an
inch. < This load carrying capabil
ity is without exessive “dead
load” because Soffit block's hol
low core construction and light
weight aggregate make it light in

Fire-Safe Construction
Perhaps the farmer’s greatest
dividends are from the low fire in
surance rates and his peace of
mind in knowing that a concrete
Soffit Block floor system is safe
from fire Floors built with Soffit
Block have been known to have a
resistance rating of a minimum
of three hours exposure to fire.
(A Soffit Block roof system in
stalled at the Overlook Country
Club, Lancaster, Pa, was undam
aged even after the remainder of
the structure was destroyed by
fire.)

(Above) After his barn was
lazed to the ground by fire last
year, Mr. Edwin B. Nolt, New
Holland RDI, installed this con
crete Soffit Block floor system in
his newly built barn. (Right) The
design and shape of Soffit-type
concrete filler block made contin
uous rows of insulating air spaces
when laid tight together. Project
ing flanges provide a form for
pouring the steel reinforced con
crete joist, forming an integral
slab construction that is light in
weight. The result is firesafe con
struction at low cost that will
last a lifetime.
proof, too. Stored forage and
grain are sealed from damp mold
tnat destroys their feed value, and
are protected from invading pests
that eat up feed profits. Last, but
not least, a Soffit Block floor sys
tem provides built-in insulation.
This is made possible by the thou
sands of hollow cores that seal a
layer of insulating air within the
wall itself.

structed, the installation of con
