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.
