exterior stucco
I would not expect much if any insulation value from your new
surface. The adhesive and bonding characteristics of Dryvit type coatings are tremendous. I assume you want a different surface which would require a base coat and a finish coat. An actual stucco contractor may offer other or better choices. Adding a foam insulation course under the EIFS will add cost and depth to the installation. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Saltspring Cathy" wrote in message roups.com... HI -- we have recently bought a 70's stucco house (what's it called with the embedded sharp bits of rock or quartz). I'm wondering if it's possible to plaster over it (perhaps with lightweight concrete made with vermiculite/perlite, to keep the weight down and a bit of insulation), to end up with a plain adobe-looking stucco finish. The stucco seems to be in excellent repair, though you can easily dislodge some of the rock chips. Any ideas if new stuff would stick OK simply with a clean surface? Thanks, Cathy |
