Our Traditional Stucco Three-Coat Procedure
The application of traditional stucco is a detailed and labor-intensive process, typically involving three separate coats:
Scratch Coat:
This initial layer is applied over a metal lath attached to the exterior of the building. It serves as a foundational layer for the subsequent coats.
Brown Coat:
Following the scratch coat, the brown coat is applied. This layer adds strength to the structure and acts as a base for the final coat.
Finish Coat:
The final coat is where the desired texture and color are applied, giving the stucco its distinctive appearance.
