Now, however, today's new plaster systems are designed to withstand that kind of abuse. Galvanized steel as the core of the system is the key to its success. Space was limited by the old classroom walls. The finished surface provides ample abuse resistance and closely matched the finish that's on the existing walls. The walls have passed tests for ballistics and forced entry standards.
Areas secured by the system include holding cells and passage-ways, including elevator shaft walls.

The weight savings was a distinct advantage for the construction of our elevator shafts. Shaft walls far three elevators reach seven stories. Lauderdale, Fla., the plaster contractor.
