Stucco, also referred to as render, is a construction material that is popularly used as decorative coating for ceilings and walls. It is also used in architecture as an artistic and sculptural material. It may just appear as a plain cement or clay, but Stucco is the world’s oldest building material to use on homes. Previously, stucco was made using water, sand, and lime. Believe it or not, this construction material can last up to 100 years. There is even evidence suggested that its usage can be traced back during Ancient Greece.

When you look at old stucco construction, you can just see the durability in the material. Today, Portland cement, water, and sand are used to make this ornamental coating. Usually, it is applied in several layers in conjunction with a wire framework.

Why Should I Consider Using Stucco for the Construction of My Home?

There are a lot of reasons why many people are still using the decorative coating of stucco for modern home construction. One of the best reasons is being versatile and budget-friendly. It is versatile in a way that you can customize it. You can have it applied as rough, smooth, or patterned on your home’s exterior. Or, you can just add some decorative stones and other features to achieve that customized look. Not only can you do that, but you can also make your home’s exterior colorful by adding color or an acrylic finish to the plaster mixture and voila!

Aside from being affordable, it also saves you from expensive maintenance. The cement-based modern type of stucco keeps your home safe from insects, rot, fungus, and even fire. With its texture, appearance, durability, and cost, no wonder this material is highly chosen for the bulk of home construction.
