Bishopric Board means low cost for up-keep
Here is a row of ten double houses erected by The Haddon-Browning Realty Co. in West Collingswood, N. J.
They all have stucco exteriors and the background for the stucco is Bishopric Board. The Haddon-Browning Co. designed these buildings to last and therefore used that most lasting background for stucco—Bishopric Board.
Note how Bishopric Board is constructed, as shown in illustration below. It does not require an expert to see why Bishopric Board is the most lasting background on the market for stucco finish.
The fibre-board, Asphalt Mastic and creosoted lath give absolute protection against heat and cold, wind and weather. They form a combination that is water, vermin and sound proof.
Bishopric Board is made of creosoted lath, imbedded in Asphalt Mastic, on a background of heavy fibre-board.
When applied, the stucco is dovetailed into the lath, forming one solid piece. The dovetailed joint holds the stucco so that it can’t let go.
Bishopric Board is held firmly to the frame. Stucco, with proper specifications—properly mixed and properly applied—will not crack and break away. It is absolutely dependable and adds years to the life of the building. Let us prove every claim we make.
