Buttonlath Company Going After Foreign Business

Buttonlathed buildings in Manila have prompted a lively interest in this material in the Philippines.

Buttonlath is a patented lathing material which takes the place of wood or metal lath in build'ing construction. Buttonlath is made of a thick layer of gypsu,m plaster compressed between sheets of tough waterproof felt. The side to which the stucco or plaster is to be applied, is perforated in the making so that the plaster center protrudes in a butr ton-like projection. These buttons provide a rigid bond and key for the applied plaster.

Buttonlath comes'in slabs of convenient size for attaching to the studding. Buttonlath has come into almost universal use in California because it is economically and quickly erected and because its solid construction eliminates the waste where plaster is applied against spaced lath. With a Buttonlath base a wall is rendered impervious to heat, moisture and soun'd. Buttonlath has the important advantage of being highly fire-resistant.

Peters Wallboard is a substantially made plaster board that comes in several convenient sizes and lends itself to anv stvle of wall treatment or a'rchitectural finish.
