"Stucco plastering is a low-maintenance, long-lasting decorative coating typically used on walls to create a unique and attractive finish."
"The classic recipe for stucco starts with three basic ingredients: Portland cement, sand, and lime."
"Water is added on the spot and the whole mix is troweled onto walls in layers, usually a 'scratch coat,' then a 'brown coat,' and finally a finish coat."
"Stucco can be used on both the interior and exterior of properties, but it's typically used externally as a wall finish."
Stucco plastering is a hard-wearing finish made from Portland cement, sand, and lime, commonly applied to walls. It is favored for its durability and low maintenance, often used externally. The application involves multiple layers: a 'scratch coat', a 'brown coat', and a finish coat. Modern variations may include polymers or fibers for enhanced resistance against cracking and water intrusion. While primarily used as a wall finish, stucco can also be applied to interior spaces.
