New Jersey Stucco Siding
Stucco
is very similar to plaster on an interior wall. Stucco, like
vinyl, is a durable siding. It is composed of sand, water
and cement. Today some stucco has an acrylic finish. In a
traditional stucco application, wire mesh is attached to the
sheathing and studs of the house. Two or three coats of
various stucco mixtures are then applied over the wire mesh.
Finally, the top coat of a stucco siding is applied with a
smooth or textured finish.
At Feher Home Solutions, we use
California Stucco, a cement stucco that grows stronger with
age, and is fully resistant to rot, deterioration and
aggressive chemicals in the atmosphere, such as acid rain.
California cement stucco is an easy retrofit and is an ideal
medium for restoring the older home.
California cement stucco when
properly applied over wood, frame, brick, block or
monolithic concrete, is adaptable to every type of
architecture. The true character of cement stucco is made
even more beautiful when complemented by textures, which are
only limited to the skill and imagination of the plasterer. |
