Having established itself as a renowned material for the surface, stucco is quite popular in the tape marketing for its adaptability and beauty. Are you aware of the fact that every tradition in building in the entire history of humans has used this type of adhesive one way or the other, form and shape?
With that being said, the recipe for this particular material is an amalgamation of fine sand, cement, and line – these recipes, however, may have been changed or altered with the passage of time but some of the of the most prime examples of the work stucco has done in the Roman architecture in the early days of 2nd century Ad, during the Aztec time in Mexico and Mizner architecture in the 20th century in Florida.
It doesn’t matter what kind of material or surface you are bonding, whether you are working on the walls, ceilings, or simply the stucco based exterior, it is crucial to select the best and the most accurate stucco and then review the benefits it has for improving the performance of your next project.
Stucco & its Types:
The best quality stucco is generally made from the mixture of water, lime, and sand used in different layers and assisted with a wire lath. The process may differ based on the location geographically of the site you are working on; however, the process is hefty and quite simple.
With that being said, there are plenty of different types of claddings for stucco (Crepe Paper Masking Tapes, Cotton Elastic Tape, and Reinforced Paper Tape). However, they can be best shifted in three main categories: the newer one-coat stucco; three-coat stucco; and external EIFS (external insulating finishing systems).
Each of these adhesives is long-lasting, protective to the cladding, but demands completely different kinds of installation details to attain the preferred results. Each of these adhesives can make an air barrier outside, relying heavily on different information for installations at transitions, penetrations, and at the edges surrounding the wall and cladding. Let us briefly discuss the advantages of the one coat stucco vs. the three-coat stucco.
1) One-Coat Stucco:
This type of stucco only has just a single coat consisting of about ½ inch thick along with a delicate finishing coat. Therefore, the claddings sometimes also referred as ‘two-coat.’ The foundation of the coat is a mixture of fibers, proprietary additives, and Portland cement fibers with every system transporting its own ES (evaluation service), and ICC (international code council) report that portrays the details of the installation. Some examples are Cable Tape, Cotton Twill Tape, and Joint Wrap Tape, etc.
There is reduced time and labor instructed for this system than three-coat stucco. However, the standardized personalized standards for installation must adhere.
2) Three-Coat Stucco:
Three-coat stucco is a well-established, non-proprietary cladding system which has a base, scratch coat, followed by a finished coat, developing in a 7/8 inch to the 1-inch cladding. This type of system is labor intensive and is the most of time. Some tapes for this stucco are: Double Coated Tape, Gripper Tape, and Braided Tape, etc.
3) EIFS – Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems:
EIFS or simply the exterior insulation and finish system is entirely dissimilar from the cement enabled stucco in a sense that it’s more flexible and lighter to work around. This particular tape (Fiberglass Adhesive Tapes, Special Adhesive Tapes, and Mobilon Tape) at times is regarded as a synthetic for covering the layers due to the concept it follows.
Quite similar to the covering which is mostly cement based, this type of adhesive is made up of many layers – preferably three. The first layer consists of the insulation board which is either bonded or attached to the wall mechanically.
The second layer is usually of the base coat followed by a third of the finishing; it also might contain a little color. This type of adhesive tape could be four inches thick, providing tons of benefits over the traditional stucco.
