Stucco siding has a long list of benefits for your home which is why it is a building material that has been used for thousands of years. In today’s blog article we will list for you the top benefits of using stucco siding, which are even more pronounced now that (good) builders use not just stucco but a stucco “system.”
Durability
Stucco lasts for 50-80 years. That is an incredible amount of time by any standard. Stucco is an investment in your future. Plus, it is easy to repair during that time. So, if it ever cracks or fades, it is easy to fix. Compare this time span to that of wood or vinyl siding which will last for 40 years if you are very lucky.
Insulative Properties
Stucco siding, when it is installed as part of a layered system, has outstanding insulative properties which can help lower your energy bills. This extra insulation can keep your home cooler in the summer (like right now) and warmer in the winter.
Fire Resistance
Stucco has a better fire rating than most other sidings. Since stucco is composed of limestone, sand, and cement, it does not burn easily and slows the passage of fire. This is a considerably safety consideration as far as sidings go.
Customization
One of the absolute best things about stucco is how easy it is to customize it. Stucco can have different textural finishes and be all different colours. It can even be repainted at a later date. A stucco siding to your home can be totally unique.
