Eighty-five years is a very long time. And since its inception, Walls & Ceilings has been the “Voice of the Industry”. From its first publication under the name Northwest Plastering Industries
in 1938, the magazine has always strived to be the resource for the
wall and ceiling trade. Originally, the scope was almost exclusive to
interior plastering and the hawk-and-trowel trades, then the most viable
interior wall system used in North America. (Remember, drywall was
still in its infancy.)
But as time evolves, so does new technology
and new building methods. Exterior and interior plastering still lives
on, but the game is much more extensive, with the upward growth of
drywall, EIFS, exterior gypsum, steel framing, ceiling systems,
insulation, and all that evolutionarily follows.
