Stucco Finishes in Calgary: What You Need to Know Before Starting a Project
If you are looking for an elegant, long-lasting exterior stucco finish for your home or business, then stucco may be a perfect choice. Stucco is a flexible and durable material that can be applied to virtually any surface and offers a range of benefits. However, before you begin a stucco project, there are certain things you need to know.
Types of Stucco Finishes
One of the most important decisions when it comes to stucco finishes is selecting the right type. There are two main types of stucco finishes: hard-coated acrylic and traditional Portland cement stucco. Both offer unique advantages but also have their own individual drawbacks.
Hard Coated Stucco Finishes
Hard-coated acrylic offers superior flexibility, allowing it to adhere better to uneven surfaces such as those found on older homes or buildings with exposed brickwork. This type of finish has excellent waterproofing properties and is low maintenance, making it an ideal choice for exterior projects in wet climates such as Calgary’s. However, hard-coated acrylic finishes can be more expensive than other types of stucco finishes due to the additional labor required during installation.
Traditional Portland Cement Stucco
Traditional Portland cement stucco has been used for centuries and is still one of the most popular options today due to its low cost and wide range of colors and textures available. It is extremely durable and can last up to 50 years if properly maintained. However, this type of finish requires more frequent maintenance than hard-coated acrylic, as it is more prone to cracking over time due to weathering or temperature changes. It also doesn’t adhere well to uneven surfaces so may not be suitable for some applications.
Tools & Equipment Needed for Stucco Finishes Installation
In order to complete a successful stucco project in Calgary, you will need some essential tools & equipment including trowels, mesh tape, sprayer equipment (if applying a spray coat), mortar mixers (for mixing the mortar), caulking guns (for filling cracks) and protective gear (gloves & goggles). It is also important that any existing cracks in the wall or foundation are filled prior to application as these could cause the finish to crack over time if left untreated. Professional contractors such as AMP Concept Inc., who specialize in providing quality stucco finishes in Calgary can help ensure that your project goes smoothly by providing all these tools & equipment necessary for installation along with experienced technicians who understand how best to apply the product correctly according to manufacturer guidelines ensuring that your finish looks great every time!
