O NOT permit winter’s interfering hand to halt your construction this year—apply Bishopric Stucco and Plaster
Board to the studding or sheathing and proceed with the interior finishing.
Bishopric Board has in numerous instances especially in the severe cold of the Northwest stood exposed to the elements from fall to spring without disintegration or damage. In every instance the buildings have been ready for Stuccoing at the Architect’s or Contractor’s convenience.
If your clients are in urgent need of a place to live they can occupy a Bishopric Board walled home in considerable comfort until the spring Stuccoing. The insulating qualities of this Board are decidedly extraordinary—it keeps a home extremely warm and dry. Dampness cannot penetrate the Asphalt Mastic and fibreboard and the heavy wood strips are creosoted against exposure. Warmth and comfort are increased when it is used on the interior instead of wood lath.
Bishopric Board’s economy should influence contracts at this time. The saving on the average home is about 25%. This is a big point today!
But best of all Bishopric Board is a Stucco background you can be sure of. You can apply the Stucco next spring and know that the walls will remain permanently beautiful and crackless—monuments to your judgment.
Tell your clients they can go ahead with their construction and specify
Bishopric Board!
