Did you know? A modern conventional stucco systems can be paired with exterior insulation making for an excellent energy-efficient option for Calgary homes.

Conventional stucco includes a thicker cement base coat reinforced with metal mesh, which creates a stronger and more impact-resistant exterior. This added durability makes the siding significantly more resistant to issues such as woodpecker damage and delamination.

As an added benefit, stucco is available in endless colour options and a variety of textures.

A typical rainscreen system includes an air space, a moisture barrier, and a drainage path, installed beneath your siding material. Here’s how it functions:

• Exterior siding installed over a ventilation gap
• A weather-resistant barrier (WRB) or membrane is attached to the sheathing
• Furring strips create a cavity for air movement
• Rain that penetrates siding drains down and out
• System dries quickly

This layered approach allows for both water management and vapour release, minimizing the odds of costly repairs due to trapped moisture under the siding. If you want to learn more about rainscreens visit us online and read our blog.
