THREE, TWO, OR ONE-COAT STUCCO­­— WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Frequently the question is asked about stucco applications and what the difference is between one-coat, two-coat or three-coat stucco systems. A good place to start is to define what is meant by the word “coat” as it relates to stucco. A coat is defined as “a layer or thickness of stucco applied in a single operation.” 

The purpose of this blog is to define the differences and not to choose one over the other as they all have their place. The success of either choice is based on the use of quality material and application procedures installed by trained professionals.

In the world of gambling, the "house" refers to the people who offer the bet (the casino, bookmaker, slot machine owner, etc.). Because of this, the house will always have the "edge.” This means that the designers of the machine or game make sure that it works in their favor, and they will always make money overall.

Just like the “house,” moisture has the upper hand in building development & construction. 

Following up on our live presentation from the 2020 NAHB International Builders' Show in Las Vegas, this month's blog from #TheDriGuy breaks down how to use proper drainage and airflow throughout your building envelope to beat moisture at its own game.
