The exterior facade may be the most
important standard by which you and the general public measure the quality of a
residential or commercial building.
Plaster and Stucco are very similar
substances. The basic difference is the areas in which they are used. Plaster is used primarily indoors and stucco
outdoors. Stucco is made from a mixture of Portland cement, sand and water, and
lime is usually also added to this mixture to make it more workable.
Stucco and Plaster can be considered as a
component of a structure's wall and ceiling assembly. It is usually either the
last, or next to last, element to be installed. Stucco is selected because it
possesses characteristics which no other component of the wall assembly can
provide.
By incorporating architectural elements
such as arches, columns, key stones, reveals, quoins, or accent bands,
complimented by the rich color and texture you give a welcoming curb appeal to
your home or business.
For many building owners, restoration has
proven to be more cost effective than demolition. Exterior Insulation Finish
Systems gives a new life and style to tired old buildings. These systems have
played a critical role in their renovation strategies. Architects are choosing
Exterior Insulation Finish Systems for their cost efficiency, simplicity, beauty
and value.
With EIFS, skilled applicators can create
all sorts of exterior architectural detailing that would often be
cost-prohibitive using conventional construction - cornices, arches, columns,
keystones, cornerstones, special moldings and decorative accents are but a few
examples.
Today, EIFS account for a very large
portion of the Canadian commercial and residential exterior wall markets. EIFS
typically consist of the following components:
Insulation board, made of polystyrene or polyisocyanurate foam, which is secured to
the exterior wall surface with a specially formulated adhesive and/or
mechanical attachment
A durable, water-resistant base coat, which is applied on top of the insulation and reinforced with fiber
glass mesh for added strength
An attractive and durable finish coat - typically using acrylic co-polymer technology - which is both colorfast and crack-resistant.
When it comes to exterior stucco finish there
two Stucco Systems:
Conventional Stucco System (Portland Cement) EIFS Stucco System
There are many different types of stucco
and many different application techniques. The wrong usage of certain products
and techniques can cause years of irreversible problems to property. Only trust
the true professionals when it comes to applying stucco to your home.
