Stucco is an extremely popular exterior siding material that is made of Portland cement, lime, sand, and water. While there are plenty of other great siding materials like vinyl, brick, and wood, you may be hard pressed to find a material that can offer more than stucco can.
Here are three benefits that stucco installation can offer your residential or commercial property:
- Durability – Stucco is incredibly durable. It can last from 50-80 years when it has been properly installed and maintained. It’s also incredibly resistant to the elements. Where other siding materials like vinyl or wood cannot hold up against fire, stucco can because it is made of naturally fire-resistant materials: cement, lime, and sand. Stucco can also resist water. Exterior insulation and finish systems, or EIFS, as they are more commonly known, is synthetic stucco that repels moisture.
- Customizable – Another advantage of stucco installation is that stucco is highly customizable. You can choose from a wide range of textures and colors to match your preferences. Whether you choose to install colored stucco or to paint it, the results will last for years to come.
- Affordable – The biggest advantage stucco has over many other types of siding is its inexpensive price. It doesn’t use extremely expensive materials. The stucco installation itself is complex and needs to be done by a professional, but prices tend to be in the budget of the average homeowner or property owner.
