Stucco is an extremely durable and versatile siding option that is often chosen as an option for commercial properties and residential homes as a way to increase curb appeal. Stucco is fire-resistant and energy-efficient, offering a one hour fire rating, meaning stucco can burn for one hour before flames begin to penetrate the building beneath the siding. Stucco is a mixture of cement, lime, sand, and water that, when properly combined, develops into a cement-like texture that can be layered onto the outermost layer of buildings. Stucco is a natural material that can be colored in a variety of shades and hues. A unique textural look can be added to the siding at the end of the installation process, offering a variety of ways to achieve the look a property owner envisions.
