Do they use 4x8 sheets now for plaster?

My house was built in 1953, before sheetrock was in code for walls.
The walls and ceilings are rock lath using blueboard, and the sheets are 4' x 18".

I know that sheetrock is typically 4x8. Do they use the same stuff for plaster?

  - The only valid possibility is 4x8 vs. 4x12. - Pablo 2015-02-06 21:02:32 (165 views)
