Stucco
Stucco is an amazing material. Using this installation on the exterior walls of your residential or commercial property can help create a very stunning look. It's available in a range of colors, textures and designs; when you opt for this material, it literally transforms the look of the structure. We at Quality Wall Systems, Inc. LLC provide excellent custom stucco installations and it's distinctly more cost-effective than a brick or natural stone veneer installation.
Most people like to spruce-up the look of their property, once every few years. However, it's not always possible to spend large amounts of money on cosmetic upgrades for a property. And when you opt for exterior stucco systems, you will find that you are able to achieve a very stunning effect, at a very low cost. Today, this material has significantly grown in popularity because of all these reasons. We have been operating in this space since 1996 and have handled scores of projects for residential and commercial customers across the region.
Understanding What Stucco Siding Is Made of
- Stucco is essentially a combination of sand and water as well as lime and concrete; this mix is applied to walls that are typically made of wood.
- First, the wall is covered with special tar paper and a galvanized metal screen/chicken wire
- This surface will then be completely covered with the stucco mix and then left to dry
- When stucco is being applied to masonry surfaces, the preparation process isn't as complex. The wall will only be thoroughly cleaned and moistened before the application.
Why Use Stucco?
There are a number of reasons why people opt for these systems:
- This surface adds to the energy-efficiency of your property, as exterior stucco has insulating properties. It helps maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature, which reduces the stress on your HVAC system and reduces your power bills too.
- As mentioned earlier, since it's available in such wide range of textures, colors and finishes, it lends a very unique look to your property. We use cement paint to finish this surface as this doesn't impact the breathability of the exterior walls.
How to Maintain Stucco Walls?
The other important aspect is that, stucco walls require very little maintenance and that means owners spend less time, effort and money on that aspect. All you have to do is clean it once in a while using a garden hose.
A little water pressure is more than enough to keep this surface clean and looking good for years. If you find that some areas have become particularly dirty, you can use some soap and a brush to clean it. Since stucco wall systems are porous, the type of care it needs is very similar to that of masonry/brick walls.
