Reinforced Concrete Sidewalk Lights
In wearing qualities, appearance, ease
of installation, and general practicability, the Luciflex System of
Reinforced Concrete Sidewalk and Vault Lights is universally
recognized as the standard. it is composed of glass prisms or lenses
embedded in 3¼ inches of concrete, reinforced by longitudinal
and transverse steel tension rods placed between the glass units, thus
forming a mesh of great rigidity. These form panels of glass and
concrete, which are supported upon retaining walls and beams, or
concrete trusses placed at proper intervals to provide for water-tight
expansion, joints placed at requisite intervals.
The only system that glass can be replaced
without breaking surrounding cement.
No breakage of glass from expansion and
contraction.
Absolutely Waterproof
The "Luciflex" system is absolutely
waterproof. The collar sets firmly in the cement, in the same manner
as fruit jars. In order to preclude any possibility of leakage, the
"Luciflex" Waterproof Cement is inserted between glass and metal
collars, making am absolutely water-tight joint.
Guarantee
The "Luciflex" guarantees its
construction for a period of five years, thoroughly water-tight
installation, and glass that will not chip or shale. The far-seeing
purchaser will not consider the slight increase of first cost over
the different inferior types of vault light construction that have
been so generally used in an effort to reduce building cost, but
which have an average life of one year, after which replacement is
usually necessary.
