Synthetic stucco does not use cement or lime and is instead formed using acrylic resin that is more resistant to water damage.
Synthetic stucco dries evenly and quickly and is generally applied over a foam board as opposed to a mesh base or lath. The acrylic resin adds movement to synthetic stucco, making it less prone to breaking or cracking like traditional stucco.
There are many benefits to choosing stucco as your siding option, in addition to the unique look and style. Stucco is extremely versatile – providing flexible options for textures and colors that help you achieve the vision you want for your home. Stucco is long-lasting—with proper care and maintenance, stucco stands the test of time as one of the longest lasting siding options. Stucco is relatively low maintenance, requiring pressure washing on average once per year and minimal repairs. Stucco also provides natural insulation, making it more energy efficient and reducing noise from outside that can enter your home.
