What is Stucco?

Stucco is a cement based mixture of sand and lime. It has long been a popular choice for finishing walls and surfaces due to its unique texture choices and color options. Though it is durable and aesthetically pleasing, it does come with a slew of problems that you will have to think about later down the line.

The big problem with Stucco

Unlike modern siding applications, Stucco is a lengthy process that requires specialized skill to professionally apply in your construction or renovation project. This means that it is not for the average DIYer and has an increased cost value of having to find someone to properly apply it. What’s more is that stucco is a porous material which has a higher chance of becoming water damaged by the elements over time. This has led to many home owners and contractors looking for stucco siding alternatives that are easier to apply and adds more siding value.

 

Fixing the issue with Stucco Clad

To answer the call and solve this issue, Replication Unlimited created a unique alternative that helps keep the unique texture and style of Stucco and make it into our own unique Stucco Clad Panels. Stucco Clad is a synthetic high-density board textured architectural panel making it the perfect alternative to slower modern EFIS applications and traditional Stucco. They are designed to compliment stone, brick and CMU exterior designs and are equally suitable for both new construction and remodels.
