Stucco-Coat
Stucco-Coat (a Gigacrete StuccoMax product) is a true one-coat waterproof stucco that is designed to adhere directly to any EPS foam, CMU block, DensGlass, Securock, cement block, concrete, stucco and other building materials. Stucco-Coat is used on ICF construction for its waterproof qualities, durability, strength, and ease of application allows contractors to “go green” without compromising performance, cost, or simplicity.
Stucco-Coat exterior wall finish coating performs beyond any conventional exterior stucco in the market today with excellent water resistance, permeability, impact and abrasion resistance as well as resistance to mold and mildew. It is the perfect choice for exterior applications, as well as a bonding agent and mortar for manufactured (cultured) stone facings.
The 3/16” one coat application has over 3,500 PSI compressive strength. Stucco-Coat is designed to be environmentally responsible, utilizing natural limestone sand and NO Portland type cements, it is sustainable and emits no pollutants.
