What is Elastomeric Stucco?
Elastomeric stucco is the stucco coated with a layer of elastomeric paint containing acrylic and latex. This paint can provide additional resistance and strength to the stucco from the damages caused by weather changes.

Though the life expectancy of stucco can be nearly 100 years if it is left unfinished for a long time then it can damage with time. The coating of elastomeric paint will protect the building from the damages caused by the cracks in the stucco. This paint prevents the entry of wind and moisture into the cracks by spreading over them.
Benefits of Elastomeric Stucco
Improve density: Elastomeric paint on the masonry stucco can increase the density of the protection layer on the exterior wall of your building. The layer of this paint is nearly 8-10 times thicker than the layer of normal paints. You can feel this difference by touching them after they are completely dry.
Waterproof: Though stucco itself can resist water effectively the coating of elastomeric stucco can make the entire coating more resistant to water. Water cannot intrude into the walls when elastomeric paint is coated on the layer of unfinished stucco.
Flexibility: The layer of this paint is flexible enough to cover the gaps caused by any movement on the surface on which it is used. It stretches over the cracks on the stucco due to weather changes as it is made from stretchy materials.
Endurance: A coat of elastomeric paint also provides an enduring strength to the stucco applied on the exterior walls of your building. It can cover the entire surface to make it last longer than its usual life expectancy.

The changes in temperature can contract and expand the masonry surfaces like stucco. These contractions and expansion in the stucco can cause cracks in it which in turn can deteriorate due to retention of water in it. Such things can be harmful not only for the stucco but also for the integrity of the entire building if the stucco is not maintained properly and leaks and cracks in it are not noticed well in time.

Repair: Though the life of your exterior walls can improve just by applying the stucco properly it can be made more long-lasting by making it elastomeric stucco by applying a coat of elastomeric paint.
