Elastomeric Finish Coat
"Stucco cracks", is a common statement when discussing traditional stucco. Elastomeric finish coat is flexible enough to span the hairline cracks typical in stucco. Products made by "Stuc-o-flex" and "Senergy". Also available in several textures and can be matched to any color.
Rain Screen
Rain screens are a drainage cavity behind the exterior cladding. Stucco is porous and in our climate it gets wet constantly. Having a rainscreen cavity behind the stucco manages any water that gets through and runs it to the base of the wall or floor and out. The approved method for creating a drainage cavity with stucco is to use a drainage mat. "Enkadrain", "WaterWay", "Home Slicker", and "Driwall" are a few of the drainage mats available.
