00:00:01 Looking ahead through plexiglass brings a glimpse into a wonderful tomorrow.

00:00:07 A tomorrow where this crystal clear plastic turns its amazing characteristics to beautifying the home.

00:00:14 To sweep away traditional styling in interior architecture.

00:00:19 Planned by the Rohm & Haas company, pioneers and principal producers of acrylic plastics

00:00:25 to show architects, designers, and homeowners just how plexiglass can add to the beauty and comfort of the home.

00:00:34 This home of tomorrow, this green suite, reveals new uses for plexiglass in walls, doors, and fixtures.

00:00:44 Glamorous effects in accessories and fittings, all inviting and warm to the touch.

00:00:50 Amazingly light in weight, yet strong and shatter resistant.

00:00:56 Truly a green suite of tomorrow, suggesting new comfort and enjoyment for today.

00:01:03 To enclose the shower, a sheet of plexiglass is curved, engraved with an appropriate design, and lighted from one edge.

00:01:12 The semicircular sliding door, also plexiglass, completes the enclosure.

00:01:18 Plexiglass shelves treat a conventional idea with transparent beauty.

00:01:30 The medicine cabinet door provides extra shelf space with a plexiglass warning label for the poison shelf.

00:01:42 A dressing table of built-in efficiency and beauty.

00:01:45 On one side, the pedestal swings open to reveal plexiglass trays for cosmetics, hose, and lingerie.

00:01:53 The trays are crystal clear, formed with rounded corners for easy cleaning.

00:01:59 A stack of drawers makes up the other pedestal with plexiglass liners to prevent snagging of lingerie.

00:02:05 Radiant walls, brilliantly decorative in color, possible because plexiglass pipes light, provide soft, flattering illumination.

00:02:20 The same lamps that give lustrous beauty to the radiant walls, furnish light needed at the mirror.

00:02:27 The lustrous and gem-like brilliance of plexiglass adds new interest to door handles, to a lazy Susan hat tree, and to shoe racks.

00:02:46 A graciously curved, transparent front wall of the bedroom, or slumber wing, lends an air of spaciousness to a room quite small.

00:03:03 The sweeping transparency removes all feeling of confinement, and air conditioning becomes as easy and inexpensive as the operation of a refrigerator.

00:03:16 Unusual in plastic artistry is this mural, painted in light, in color.

00:03:29 The three-dimensional depth is produced by an assembly of engraved plexiglass sheets, edge-lighted to make a glow of restful beauty.

00:03:39 Yes, in the home of tomorrow, there's plexiglass everywhere.

00:03:44 Plexiglass partitions, plexiglass furniture, even plexiglass hats on plexiglass racks.

00:03:53 Plexiglass all around for beauty, utility, and long life.

00:03:59 Here is comfortable and practical living, built around the amazing properties of the most glamorous plastic of all, plexiglass.

00:04:09 Here is great service in industry, built around the versatility of this war-famed plastic, plexiglass.

00:04:18 Here, too, is an exciting challenge to the imagination, and a vision of things to come when you are looking ahead through plexiglass.
