Stucco Systems
Synthetic Stucco

EIFS can be highly detailed and is crack resistant. The biggest benefit of EIFS is the increased insulation it provides to a building. Many early EIFS systems had moisture problems due to their sealing moisture behind the system. These systems are now available with modifications that allow them to drain in case water penetrates the system. It consists of foam sheathing covered by a highly modified basecoat with fiberglass mesh and an acrylic finish coat. (Click here to see EIFS Diagram)

Traditional Stucco
 

 

Three Coat Stucco
 
3-COAT STUCCO system includes a waterproof building paper that is attached to the studs on the house; the wire lathe which serves as the foundation for the stucco system. The first layer of cement is called the scratch layer because a notched trowel is used and creates a rough surface to which the next layer can bond.  The second layer is called the brown coat.  After the second layer of cement is applied, the final coat—or color coat is applied. (color selection)
 
Thin Coat Stucco
 
Thincoat or fiber reinforced stucco (FRS) systems are a more recent development. They are used in many types of construction over a wide variety of sheathings and substrates. Generally they consist of a gray basecoat with colored cement stucco or acrylic-based finish coat.
