The use of Bishopric Board for Stucco construction has increased 1000 per cent in six years. For these reasons: Wherever the right Stucco mixture has been applied to a Bishopric background the walls have remained rigidly intact—crackless, unsagging; there has been no rusting—no pulling away from the supports—because first, there is nothing in Bishopric Board to disintegrate; and second, it is nailed securely to studding or sheathing; it provides effective insulation; deadens sound; and often the saving it makes possible solves an economic problem for Architect and Builder.
The “lock-in-the-plaster” principle has made good in a big way. Architects have seen it hold Stucco with a bulldog grip through severe winter and hot summer. They have watched Bishopric Board stand all winter and be in perfect condition for Spring Stuccoing.
Stucco clings vise-tight to the dovetailed, heavy-wood strips which are creosoted against swelling, shrinking, warping, and weather change. These strips are imbedded, under terrific pressure, in a layer of tough Asphalt Mastic—a wonderful preservative and moisture-proof and fire-resisting. The heavy fibreboard backing is weather-proofed against heat and cold and it retards sound. Nailed as a unit to the building with joints broken every four feet for added rigidity, with the proper mixture of stucco applied to Bishopric Board how can the walls crack or crumble or the building be anything but comfortable, well-insulated, and sound free ?
For interior use in place of ordinary lath, Bishopric Board makes sound-retarding walls, ceilings, and partitions, and saves plaster, time, and labor.
Bishopric Sheathing saves about 40 per cent as compared with 7/8-inch wood sheathing. Makes a compact, damp-proof, sound-proof wall. No joints or knot holes. Ask about it.
Note the absolute rigidity of construction of this 3-family apartment house in Utica, N. Y., built for John J. Doyle. This building stood through the winter before being stuccoed. Bishopric Board was nailed direct to studding, no wood sheathing being used. Bishopric Board was also used on interior.
All Architects and Builders should have our book, “Built on the Wisdom of the Ages.’’ It describes and details the use of Bishopric Board; illustrates homes and institutions on which it has been used; tells how to get perfect Stucco work. It contains reports of scientific tests and letters from .ngineers, architects, builders and home owners. Get it—and samples of Bishopric Board and Bishopric Sheathing.
