Making sure the Stucco Walls will Hold and
remain Crack less
and Beautiful
This Binghamton, N. Y., home is shown, in the top picture, ready for Stuccoing. See those spaces between the wood strips of the Bishopric Stucco and Plaster Board? They are the dovetail keys which imprison the Stucco. Once Stucco is applied, it is locked rigid forever by these thousands of keys.
Note how the joints of the Board are broken every few feet. This strengthens the purchase of the keys by distributing the strain of the Stucco. The walls cannot sag or crack anywhere because they are completely unified.
B
ISHOPRIC BOARD was nailed so securely to this building that the weight of the average Stucco wall—10 to 15 pounds per surface foot, could not possibly budge a single wood strip. Bishopric Board’s resistance to deformation in the plane of the wall is extraordinary. No other Stucco base can be nailed so securely.
The beauty of this Binghamton home is insured for its life. The Stucco will always be smooth and fresh looking. Repairs will never be necessary.
Bishopric Board is the background that prevents cracking of Stucco. It insulates perfectly. It also completely sound-deadens the home. It is the most economical Stucco base and gives the Archi
tect and Builder an opportunity to provide special conveniences with the savings made. One-third less plaster is required on account of the dovetail grooves. There is no waste—1,000 sq. ft. covers 1,000 sq. ft. of surface.
