Stucco has become a popular choice for enhancing the appearance and durability of buildings, thanks to its versatility in creating beautiful facades, adding rich textures, and incorporating vibrant colors. Whether you’re looking for a classic or modern look, stucco can elevate the design of your property.
Stucco is typically made from Portland cement plaster, a highly durable material that can be applied to both interior and exterior surfaces. It’s fire-retardant, low-maintenance, and available in various textures and finishes. When applied professionally, stucco will keep your walls protected for years to come while maintaining an attractive appearance. Upgrade your building with new Masonry Stucco and choose from a variety of colors to make your property stand out in the neighborhood.
How Santa Barbara Stucco is Done
One of the most popular traditional stucco finishes is Santa Barbara stucco, which uses fine sand particles to achieve a smooth, adobe-like look. This finish offers a timeless, elegant appearance with the option to add colored sand for variations. If you prefer a consistent look, you can paint over the Santa Barbara finish. However, it’s worth noting that due to its smooth texture, cracking can sometimes become visible over time.
What is Hard Coat System Stucco?
The Hard Coat System is a traditional 3-coat application method that ensures the durability of the stucco. It starts with a water-resistant barrier, followed by layers of masonry wire mesh, a scratch and brown coat, and finally a finish coat or primer. This robust system provides a lasting and weather-resistant surface, typically with a cement base coat that’s about 7/8″ thick.
