PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1995
SOLICITATION OF PROXY
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of
Elcor Corporation (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
of the Company to be held on Tuesday, October 24, 1995, and at any adjournment
or adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"). In addition to the use of the mails,
proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone or facsimile by
officers, directors and other employees of the Company, who will not receive
additional compensation for such services. The Company may also request
brokerage houses, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward the soliciting
material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record and will reimburse
such persons for forwarding such material at the rates suggested by the New York
Stock Exchange. The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies.
Such costs are expected to be nominal. Proxy solicitation will commence with the
mailing of this Proxy Statement on or about September 19, 1995.
Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the same at any time
prior to its exercise by executing a subsequent proxy or by written notice to
the Secretary of the Company or by attending the Meeting and withdrawing the
proxy.
PURPOSE OF MEETING
As stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this
Proxy Statement, the business to be conducted and the matters to be considered
and acted upon at the Meeting are as follows:
1. To elect two directors to hold office for the terms specified
herein or until their successors are elected and qualified;
2. To ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent
auditors of the Company for its fiscal year ending June 30, 1996; and
3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the
Meeting.
VOTING AT MEETING
The voting securities of the Company consist solely of common stock, par
value $1 per share ("Common Stock").
The record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Meeting is the close of business on September 5, 1995 (the "Record Date"), at
which time the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting
8,722,908 shares of Common Stock. Shareholders are entitled to one vote, in
person or by proxy, for each share of Common Stock held in their names on the
Record Date.
Shareholders representing fifty-one percent of the Common Stock outstanding
and entitled to vote must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a
quorum.
4
Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes are counted as votes cast on any
matter to which they relate. All shares represented in person or by proxy,
including abstentions and broker non-votes, are considered in determining
whether a quorum has been reached on a particular matter. A broker non-vote will
occur when a broker who holds shares in nominee form, or "street name," for a
customer does not have the authority under the rules of the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") to cast a vote on a particular matter because the matter is
deemed by the NYSE to be non-discretionary and the broker's customer has not
furnished voting instructions.
If a shareholder is a participant in the Company's Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP"), the proxy card will also serve as a voting direction for the
Trustee of such plan. Shares not yet allocated to ESOP participants, under the
terms of the ESOP, will be voted in proportion to allocated ESOP shares for
which voting is directed. Allocated shares held through the ESOP for which
participants do not return properly signed proxy cards will be voted as the
Trustee directs in the exercise of its fiduciary duties.
The election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of Arthur
Andersen LLP as independent auditors each will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and
voting thereon. Cumulative voting for directors is not authorized.
STOCK OWNERSHIP
The following table sets forth as of September 5, 1995, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each director, each Named Executive
Officer (as defined under "Executive Compensation" below), and by all directors

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has the responsibility for establishing broad
corporate policies and for the overall performance of the Company, although it
is not involved in day-to-day operating details. The Board meets regularly
throughout the year, including the annual organization meeting following the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. During the last fiscal year, the Board met
eleven times.
The Board has established a number of standing committees of certain of its
members to perform particular areas of responsibility. These are the Executive,
Audit, and the Compensation Committees. There is no Nominating Committee.
The primary function of the Executive Committee is to assist the Board by
acting upon matters when the Board is not in session within general guidelines
previously authorized by the Board. All actions taken by the
3
6
Committee are promptly reported to and reviewed by the full Board. The Committee
met twelve times during the last fiscal year. The Executive Committee consists
of Messrs. Campbell, Callaway, Leibrock and Ortloff.
The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Leibrock, Hall and Simpson, all of
whom are nonemployee directors. The functions of the Committee are to determine
whether management has established internal controls which are sound, adequate
and working effectively; to ascertain whether Company assets are verified and
safeguarded; to review and approve external audits; to review audit fees and the
appointment of independent auditors; and to review nonaudit services provided by
the independent auditors. The Committee met three times during the last fiscal
year.
The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Callaway, Hall and Ortloff.
Its function is to independently review and assess compensation for the Chief
Executive Officer and all other executive officers of the Company and provide
advice and recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning such
compensation, benefits and the development of policies on employee compensation
for the Company. The Committee met four times during the last fiscal year.
Due to an illness which included a lengthy hospital stay, Mr. Ortloff
attended only seven of the eleven Board of Directors meetings (63%) and six of
the twelve Executive Committee meetings (50%) during the last fiscal year.
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Meeting, two directors, Messrs. Roy E. Campbell and James E. Hall,
are to be elected for a three-year term or until their successors are elected
and qualified.
In accordance with Company's By-Laws, directors are divided into three
classes, each of which is composed of one-third of the directors. At the 1995
Annual Meeting, two directors will be elected to serve for terms of three years
expiring on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1998. Each
director elected will continue in office until a successor has been elected or
until resignation or removal in the manner provided by the By-Laws of the
Company. The nominees for directors are both currently board members. The names
of nominees for the Board of Directors and the names of directors whose terms
will continue after the Meeting are listed below.

Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted, in the
absence of contrary indication therein or revocation thereof by the shareholder
granting such proxy, in favor of the election of the nominees named below as
directors, to hold office for the term stated above. The persons named as
proxies in the enclosed proxy have been designated by the Company's management
and intend to vote for the election to the Board of Directors of the persons
named below. If the contingency should occur that any such nominee is unable to
serve as a director, it is intended that the shares represented by the proxies
will be voted, in the absence of contrary indication, for any substitute nominee

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee provides advice and recommendations to the Board
concerning the compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option awards
under the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP") for the Named Executive
Officers, ISOP awards to other eligible employees, and the compensation of
directors of Elcor. The non-employee members of the Board assess and approve the
award of such stock options. All Board members, other than the Chief Executive
Officer, evaluate the Chief Executive Officer's performance and approve other
elements of his compensation. The Board approves all other elements of
compensation for the other Named Executive Officers.
The objectives of Elcor's executive compensation program are to:
1. Compensate competitively in order to attract, retain and motivate a
highly competent executive team dedicated to achieving the Company's
Mission and Strategic Plans, which are designed to result in long-term
growth in shareholder value;
2. Tie individual compensation to individual and team performance and the
success of the Company;
3. Align the executive officers' and certain eligible employees' interests
with those of the Company by making incentive compensation dependent
upon the performance of the Company or the appropriate business unit;
4. Align executive officers' and certain eligible employees' interests
with those of the shareholders by providing long-term compensation
opportunities through participation in the Company's Incentive Stock
Option Plans, Stock/Loan Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
5. Maximize the tax deductibility of executive compensation.
To achieve these compensation objectives, Elcor uses a combination of short-term
and long-term compensation elements, all of which are affected by the
performance of the individual and/or the performance of Elcor or the appropriate
business unit. A significant amount of the total compensation is longer term
compensation through stock ownership to assure alignment with shareholder
interests. In addition, the Named Executive Officers participate in other
compensation plans offered to all non-union employees. The Company does not
provide post-retirement health care benefits or defined benefit pension plans
for the Named Executive Officers or any other non-union employees.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of
compensation paid to specified executive officers. It is presently anticipated
that all compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers will be
fully deductible by the Company for federal income tax purpose. It is the
Company's intention to evaluate compensation received by executive officers and
take the steps necessary, including submitting such matters for shareholder
approval if necessary, to assure that such compensation is deductible by the
Company.
BASE SALARY
Base compensation is set based on offering competitive salaries in
comparison to market practices. Independent survey data developed by an
independent data service for executive positions in other similarly sized
industrial companies is used to establish a minimum, median and maximum
compensation level for each executive position. These ranges may be subjectively
adjusted from industry averages for factors such as local market conditions or
unique aspects, responsibilities or qualifications of the position not believed
to normally be associated with the position in other similarly sized companies.
Base salary ranges are reviewed annually. A range of predetermined percentage
increases and a maximum merit increase is established for various performance
levels. The base salary position within the range is set after an annual
subjective review of performance in areas of the executives' responsibilities,
including an evaluation of work performance, achieving specific goals, position
requirements and financial performance of the applicable business unit in
relation to expected performance based on the annual strategic plan. No specific
weighting of factors is used in evaluating overall job performance. Increases in
base salaries are consistent with the Company's overall
10
13
guidelines for other employee salary percentage increases for defined
performance levels. These guidelines are revised annually to reflect the
influence of economic, industry and Company factors. All base salaries for the
Named Executive Officers fall within the range of compensation for their
specific positions based on the independent survey data.
INCENTIVE CASH BONUS
All Named Executive Officers except Mr. Work are eligible for bonuses under
the Elcor Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, which has a plan year of October 1 to
September 30. Mr. Work is eligible for bonuses under the Elk Corporation of
America Incentive Cash Bonus Plan, which also has a plan year of October 1 to
September 30. The incentive plan year for Elcor and Elk differs from the
Company's fiscal year due to seasonality considerations. Normally for Elcor and
Elk, the quarters ending June 30 and September 30 of each fiscal year are
seasonally stronger than the quarters ending December 31 and March 31. By
beginning the incentive plan year on October 1 of each year, the financial
performance during the seasonally weaker quarters are considered before the
seasonally stronger quarters, providing greater assurance that executive
incentive bonuses accurately reflect full year financial performance. The bonus
plans for other business units correspond to the Company's fiscal year, as these
businesses are typically less seasonal in nature.
The Company or its operating units provide incentive cash bonuses payable
quarterly for the Named Executive Officers and certain other non-union eligible
employees. Beginning with the bonus plan year which commenced in fiscal 1994,
bonuses were calculated based on a targeted range of earnings before federal
income taxes. During the bonus plan year which commenced in fiscal 1995,
targeted earnings levels were modified to include a factor for increases or
decreases in total assets employed. The target earnings range for which bonuses
will be paid is established annually based on (1) the fiscal year strategic plan
for Elcor or the appropriate business unit, and (2) threshold and target levels
of earnings, subjectively determined to represent a beginning level and target
bonus level that provides incentive to achieve desired results. Desired results
are subjectively determined. However, the target is considered to be in the
range of the upper quartile performance for the business circumstances present
during the plan year. The threshold level is considered to be in the range of
average performance under the business circumstances. No bonus is payable until
the minimum threshold level of earnings is achieved. Prior to fiscal 1994, the
incentive cash bonuses were calculated on a return on total assets concept for
Elcor or the appropriate business unit.
The changes in methodology for calculating incentive cash bonuses were
deemed to be a more accurate way to assess the performance of the Company or the
appropriate business unit. The relationship of bonuses to base salaries in the
Summary Compensation Table reflects the performance level of the Company or
applicable business unit for each of the three fiscal years presented through
the application of formula calculations based on earnings above the targeted
thresholds. Bonuses paid for target performance vary by executive officer and
range from 20% to 50% of base salary. Should earnings exceed the upper end of
the target range, a premium bonus is awarded. Premium bonuses are calculated at
a reduced rate (20%) of the amount of bonus that would have paid had these
earnings in excess of target been within the target range.
STOCK/LOAN PLAN
Under the Stock/Loan Plan the Company may grant to certain eligible key
employees rights to apply to the Company for a loan, the proceeds of which must
be used to purchase Elcor Common Stock at that time or applied to previous stock
purchases not made in connection with the Stock/Loan Plan. The normal maximum
amount which may be loaned to each eligible key employee is a percentage of the
payment earned under the Incentive Cash Bonus Plan. For the Named Executive
Officers, stock loans are granted at 37 1/2 to 50% of amounts earned under the
Incentive Cash Bonus Program. Such loans bear no interest and are repayable by
the key employee through continued service with the Company or a subsidiary,
with the principal amount of the loan being forgiven at the rate of 20% for each
year of continuous service subsequent to the date of the making of the loan. The
outstanding balances of such loans are required to be repaid on any termination
of employment with the company, except for termination due to disability, death
or retirement.

LONG TERM COMPENSATION
Under the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan, which has previously been
approved by the shareholders, the Company may grant qualified and/or
nonqualified options to purchase the Company's Common Stock to the Named
Executive Officers and eligible key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. Except for options awarded to Mr. Campbell, stock options awarded
in fiscal 1995 must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant.
Options awarded to Mr. Campbell in fiscal 1995 must be exercised within five
years from the date of grant. The number of options granted is individually
determined for each executive based on subjective evaluation of the individual's
responsibility level and criticality to the Company, and is influenced by
applying a formula of base pay times a predetermined percentage ranging from 10%
to 40% of base pay, and dividing this number by the average market price of the
Company's stock during the preceding thirty-six months prior to the grant. In
recognition of unique performance, some awards are greater than provided by this
formula. In fiscal 1995, options were subjectively awarded to Mr. Campbell, Mr.
Rosebery, Mr. Work and Mr. Harral in amounts above the formula calculation and
Mr. Dow in accordance with the formula calculation.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP)
The Named Executive Officers and all employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries, except those covered by other plans established through collective
bargaining, are eligible to participate in the ESOP upon completion of one year
of service with the Company under the plan. The Company contributes a percentage
(2.3% in fiscal 1995) of each participant's annual compensation, subject to
limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Amounts contributed to the
ESOP vest over a period of years (20% after three years of service and an
additional 20% for each additional year of service thereafter until 100%
vested).
ELCOR CORPORATION EMPLOYEES' 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
The Elcor Corporation Employees' 401(k) Savings Plan provides for
participation by all employees, including the Named Executive Officers, after
one year of service, except those covered by other plans established through
collective bargaining. Contribution percentages and vesting of any Company
contributions are made according to the same schedule as that of the ESOP
described above.
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS
In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17)(A), qualified
benefit plans must limit the annual compensation of each employee taken into
account under the plans for any year to an indexed dollar amount, currently
$150,000. In September 1994, the Board of Directors determined that this
limitation reduces retirement funds intended for the benefit of the employees
affected by this limitation and authorized a special cash payment to any
employee, including the Named Executive Officers, in an amount equal to the
difference between the actual amount contributed for their benefit to the ESOP
and 401(k) Savings Plan and the amount that would have been contributed to these
plans for their benefit, including a factor to offset a portion of the Federal
tax liability due on the payment, had there been no statutory dollar limitation.
EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
None of the Named Executive Officers has employment or severance agreements
with the Company.
CEO COMPENSATION
The Chief Executive Officer of Elcor, Roy E. Campbell, participates in the
same compensation programs as the other Named Executive Officers with each
component of his compensation determined according to the same criteria. Mr.
Campbell's base salary was increased 5.0% in fiscal 1995, determined in the same
manner as other executive officers and as described in the Base Salary section
described previously. This percentage increase and dollar increase was within
the range and consistent with Company merit performance criteria based on a
subjective evaluation of Mr. Campbell's performance in achieving job related
goals and objectives and the Company's overall financial performance. Mr.
Campbell's incentive compensation was calculated on a
12
15
formula basis using the same methodology and guidelines as described in the
Incentive Cash Bonus section of this report. The decrease in incentive
compensation in fiscal 1995 reflects the Company's not achieving target earnings
in the current year's Incentive Cash Bonus plan year through June 30, 1995.
In fiscal 1995, Mr. Campbell was awarded qualified and nonqualified stock
options using the same methodology and factors as previously described for other
Named Executive Officers. However, consistent with Company practice, Mr.
Campbell's stock options were awarded subsequent to the annual meeting in
October 1994 whereas stock options to the other Named Executive Officers and
other key employees were granted by the Board in August 1994. Accordingly, the
option price for Mr. Campbell's award differs from the option price for the
other Named Executive Officers.
All other compensation for Mr. Campbell was determined on the same basis
and using the same criteria as the other Named Executive Officers.

PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
On recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has
appointed, subject to ratification by the shareholders, Arthur Andersen LLP, of
Dallas, Texas, as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1996. This firm has made the annual audit of the accounts of the
Company since 1966. The Company has been advised that neither Arthur Andersen
LLP nor any member thereof has any direct or indirect financial or other
interest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors each
year requests the shareholders to ratify the appointment of auditors and in the
past, the shareholders have overwhelmingly ratified the appointment each year.
Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted, in the absence of
contrary indication therein or revocation thereof by the shareholder granting
such proxy, in favor of the ratification of the appointment of Arthur Andersen
LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1996. In the unlikely event that such appointment is not ratified, the Board of
Directors will consider alternatives which might be pursued. Such alternatives
could include the selection of another auditor or continuation of Arthur
Andersen LLP as auditor. A representative of Arthur Andersen LLP will attend the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement
if he desires to do so, and such representative will be available to respond to
appropriate shareholder questions.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

including a question of adjourning the meeting, the persons named as proxies in
the enclosed proxy will vote thereon according to their best judgment in the
interest of the Company.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto
furnished to the Company and written representation that no Forms 5 were
required, the Company believes that all reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 applicable to its directors, executive
officers and greater than ten percent stockholders were timely filed in such
fiscal year and prior fiscal years except that: (i) executive officer James L.
Dow filed a Form 4 on July 5, 1995 which due to clerical error did not reflect
the sale of 200 shares on the open market on June 19, 1995, and (ii) director
and executive officer Roy E. Campbell filed a Form 4 on April 7, 1995 which due
to clerical error did not reflect the correct number of indirect shares. Mr. Dow
and Mr. Campbell filed amended Forms 4 on July 12, 1995 and August 28, 1995,
respectively, which corrected the errors.
