Stucco is a high performance cladding system that delivers moisture resistance, durability and aesthetic benefits – when specified and installed correctly. This course will explore several stucco systems and the key design – and specification – elements that separate a quality stucco project from one destined for failure. Building on a stronger understanding of failure modes and their root causes, participants will also learn how pre-blended stucco systems can solve many of the challenges caused by "traditional" field blended stuccos, eliminating costly failures and better protecting occupants. Upon completion, participants will be able to effectively design, specify and inspect stucco systems that optimize the health, safety and wellness of occupants by eliminating moisture intrusion and mold growth, improving impact resistance and creating a beautiful facade that will stand the test of time.
