Grace Baptist Clmrcli, Binghamton, N. Y. Elfred H. Bavtoo, Architect. Stucco linisli oil Background of Bishopric Board.
The finish of a building is one link in the chain of construction. Any weakness in that link, any breaks or letting down of the finish and the value of the whole structure is weakened.
Take a stucco finished building—let the stucco crack and break away from its fastenings and the rain beat in back of the stucco—how much and how quick it lessens the value of that building.
BISHOPRIC BOARD insures stucco-stability
In the years that Bishopric Board has been so generally used, stucco houses have become increasingly popular.
As an economical background that holds the stucco as long as the building lasts, Bishopric Board is unsurpassed.
It is wind, weather and vermin proof, a non-conductor of heat and cold, and a wonderful fire-resistant.
The principles embodied in Bishopric Board are as old as the building industry itself, and they are principles that time and experience have failed to improve.
It is their combination found in Bishopric Board that has made stucco-stability possible.
Bishopric Board is simple in construction----creosoted dove-- tailed lath imbedded under terrific pressure in Asphalt Mastic on a background of heavy fibre-board.
But see how the dovetail locks the stucco and welds it to the Bishopric Board.
When nailed securely to the building what chance has the stucco to loosen or break away from the Bishopric Board ?
You can’t afford to build a stucco house without learning about Bishopric Board.
