PROFESSIONALLY
APPLYING
Traditional Stucco
Traditional Stucco is composed of portland cement, lime, sand, and water. Most stucco is generally the same but there is really no limit to the number of textures that you can achieve with traditional stucco.
Acrylic Stucco
Acrylic Stucco is a mix of acrylic resins/polymers, and sand. This material resembles a thick gritty paint. Once it rapidly cures this material will not come off. It is durable and highly resistant to fading caused by the sun. You can achieve many different textures with acrylic products
TEXTURES
Laced
A classic and common texture finish is laced. Also known as a skip trowel finish because the texture resembles a random pattern of texture. This texture is usually finished with two coats. First the base coat, secondly the textured coat. The texture can vary between light, medium, and coarse style. Making this texture highly customizable.
Smooth
For a clean look, smooth is the finish of choice. The finish has no texture and is applied with two coats smoothed down with a steel trowel.
Dash
This stucco texture is finished with two to three coats to achieve a uniform finish.The texture can be applied by hand or sprayed on using a small hopper gun. The texture is rough and can vary between light, medium, and heavy dash depending on the customers preference. This texture is favorable for its highly textured gravel look.
Cat Face
This stucco texture features a two coat finish system. The base coat is textured then followed by a top coat that is smoothed down with a steel trowel, leaving small areas of exposed texture. These small textured areas can be either a random or designed pattern and are what gives the texture the name “cat face”.
Sand/Float
A very versatile and popular choice is the sand finish. This finish is applied using a foam float that brings the grains of sand to the surface. The texture varies in grain size between fine, medium, and coarse. This finish is elegant, durable and capable of hiding imperfections.
