Stucco
The color, texture, and design of a wall will have a significant impact on a building's appearance and overall value. Stucco provides resilience to a structure with its reinforcing cementitious properties. Stucco gives walls a distinctive and elegant appearance. We have completed projects all over Texas including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas Ft-Worth and Houston. WHAT IS STUCCO?
Stucco is a mixture of water, aggregates, and binder. This binder is typically made from a combination of Portland cement, lime, and sand. The material is wet when first mixed but dries into a hardened layer after it has cured. All the components of this material are mixed on site, just before application because stucco will harden after it comes in contact with water.The basic stucco mixture consists of three parts sand or aggregate, water, and one-part Portland cement, hydrated lime (10% of the cement quantity.) We make sure the mixture is applied correctly and sets well. Our stucco installers will extend the drying time as much as possible to ensure the layer is strong and resilient.
We utilize 1-Kote stucco as well. 1-Kote Gray Concentrate is a fiber reinforced, modified portland cement exterior plaster. The product may be used in conjunction with various foam substrates to create wall assemblies with higher R-values and improved crack and water resistance. 1-Kote Concentrate may also be used over wood or gypsum backing and may be utilized for a scratch and / or brown coat application for a conventional stucco system. It is available in a “regular” as well as a “premium” blend.
