Stucco can be applied to both interior and exterior wall surfaces; this book, however, is mainly concerned with the exterior use of stucco.
Stucco makes an excellent exterior surface. As mentioned before, it is durable and resists weather. It provides some level of soundproofing, and it can withstand moderate earthquakes with minor cracking. And stucco provides good wind protection. For these reasons and more-even in severe climates-you'll find many older stucco buildings still in great condition.
When it comes to aesthetics, depending on the finish texture you use, stucco can create great interest with highlights and shadows both in daylight and at night with property lighting. And when it comes to color, stucco offers the choice of long-lasting, "built-in" color, or it can be painted. A stucco finish is really two or three thin coats of a mortar-also called "plaster" -that is generally one part Portland cement to three parts sand, with a small amount of lime and water added.
Although stucco at first seems like a very simple technique, inadequate preparation, incorrect or inappropriate mixtures, or improper application can result in major problems causing the plaster to bulge, separate, crack, or worse: allowing the entry of water, causing the wooden subsurfaces and frames to rot or develop mold or mildew.
In the next few pages, let's briefly review the steps to creating an exterior stucco finish. In the chapters that follow, we'll cover each of these topics in greater detail. The entire process involves several distinct steps, none of which should be overlooked. Stucco-finished walls like most shear walls can add limited strength to a building's structure, but they most certainly cannot make up for shoddy construction.
In any event, the inclusion of any rigid sheathing typically improves the quality of the plaster installation. In multi-story buildings, sheathing is usually required on the first floor exterior wall surface before the subsurface materials are attached. Attach the lath to the frame-not the sheathing. Better quality construction will use the sheathing regardless. In some cases e. Generally, we can say that successful EIFS systems require close adherence to the manufacturer's instructions.
