Stucco is a building material, which is a mixture of cement, water and lime or sand. As we mentioned already, the history of the use of stucco goes back to ancient times. The buildings in ancient Greece were already built using stucco. The Italians spread the various techniques of the use of stucco in Europe after the Reneissance. The history and the centuries-long use and trust is a remarkable indicator that this material is reliable.

Stucco has many advantages and we have listed the features that have made stucco so popular and trustworthy.

- it is far less expensive than most other materials used in exterior walls. Wood, bricks, fieldstone and rubblestone look great, but cost a lot more. Using stucco your house will look just as good – if not better – than the houses covered with expensive materials. It will definitely not look like it costs less.

- stucco is quite a resistant material – it is rather fire-resistant and also resistant to wind and rain penetration, which might damage the exterior walls or let cold  air into the house.

- Stucco is a siding material which is easily handled – you can use it to make various decorations on your house as was done also in the history.

- once you have covered your exterior walls with stucco, it hardly needs any maintenance!
