STUCCO PAPER & WIRE INSTALLATION
We begin with covering your home with two layers of black water proof paper. All windows and doors are sealed with blue skin peel and stick membrane. Flashing is installed at this time as well; flashing can be colour matched to any existing windows or soffit and fascia.
Finishing up the paper and wire installation is the application of the stucco wire. The stucco wire used is a galvanized, welded material and installed over the black water proof paper with nails and staples. All installations are completed to the builders required code.
STUCCO APPLICATION
Prior to the application of our stucco products, regardless if it is the scratch coat, brown coat or the acrylic finish, all windows and doors will be taped with red stucco tape followed up by the application of a medium poly. To ensure the job site stays clean, all roofs and walkways are tarped and taped off. Divine Stucco will take ownership itself on the care of your home and property throughout the project.
Our base coat, called “scratch coat” within the industry, is a sand and cement mixed coating. It is fabricated in a cement mixer with proper portions of portland cement, hydrated lime, sand and fiber shorts. The mixture is made to a working consistency and then applied to the stucco wire with a hawk and trowel.
FINISHING
After the scratch coat is applied, we begin the application of the “Brown coat” . The brown coat is applied in the same manner and consistency of the scratch coat. To meet all regulatory codes, the two coats combined will equal an overall thickness of 19mm (ѕ inch). If the finishing coat is a smooth acrylic finish, called a “float finish”, one more step must be taken in order to prepare the brown coat for the float finish; The brown coat must be flattened and scrapped with a straight edge to ensure a smooth surface. This surface is then “floated out” in circular motions with a sponge trowel. This is done to achieve the smoothest possible finish.
TEXTURE STUCCO
For the textured finish, a single coat of the coloured acrylic will be troweled on over the scratch and brown coat. Once the single colour coat is dry the textured coat will be applied to complete the stucco finish.
SMOOTH ACRYLIC STUCCO
For the float/smooth finish, a single coat of acrylic is applied by a plasterer with a metal hawk and trowel. Immediately following with a second plasterer with a plastic trowel which he moves in circular motions to scrape off any excess acrylic and remove trowel lines. This will create that remarkable, flawless finish that Divine Stucco is known for.
