The Stucco Process
A little more than three months and we are already nearing the end of our work on the garage. It is looking a lot less bare these days as it has undergone the process of stucco-ing!
We try to take the green/sustainable/eco-friendly route in all aspects of our construction, especially when it comes to using products that are on par with the LEED standards. R-GUARD FastFlash, PermaLath 1000 and Acrocrete are some of our favorite products when it comes to adeptly finishing the exterior of a building successfully.
Check out the process in all it’s detailed glory!
First the garage gets a smooth Peel 'N Seal layer - a self healing underlayment.
We use R-GUARD FastFlash as a sealant for an air- and water-tight installation of doors and windows. Best of all, it's eco-friendly!

The PermaLath 1000, a fiberglass mesh that is a non-rusting heavy duty light weight alternative to metal-lath, between expansion joints.

Acrocrete and Titan's Stucco Concrete are key to make a lasting finish.
