THE 3 STUCCO SYSTEMS

 

TRADITIONAL STUCCO

Gold Coast Stucco and Design uses the Imasco Traditional Stucco System. This is based on a simple design concept combining an improved Portland cement base (GreatWall) and one of several attractive finishes, colours, and textures for virtually any application. At the core of the Traditional Stucco System is GreatWall Basecoat. The result of exhaustive research and development, GreatWall combines reinforcing fibres and specialized admixtures in a factory blended and controlled premixed product. This helps to minimise or eliminate cracking in the basecoat.

Traditional Stucco has the following features:

  • Durable and Economical

  • 10 Year Extended Warranty

  • Protective to Elements

  • Water Resistant

  • Non-Combustible

  • Colour Fast

  • Design Imagination/ Flexibility

 
THE RAINSCREEN SYSTEM

The rain Screen System is a complete approach to exterior wall performance engineered specifically for most forms of residential and commercial construction.

At the heart of the system is is a drainage cavity that allows moisture to drain out of the exterior wall. This cavity is fully vented top and bottom to allow maximum drying potential for any incidental residual moisture.

Rain  Screen Stucco has the following features:

  • Deflects, drains and dries water

  •  Comprehensive 10 year RainWater Damage Protection Warranty

  • Provides structural integrity and crack resistance

  • EPS foam is mechanically fastened to the studs to absorb and dissipate movements

  • Installed only by Certified applicators

  •  Provides for architectural flexibility

 
E.I.F.S.

Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are multi-layered exterior wall systems that are used on both commercial buildings and homes. They provide superior energy efficiency and offer much greater design flexibility than other cladding products. Gold Coast Stucco utilizes the IMASCO, STO and DRYVIT E.I.F.S. which feature 3 layers of protection…the inner layer; the drainage layer; and the outer layer.

The EIFS used by Gold Coast Stucco and Design has the following features:

  • Aesthetic appeal

  • Crack resistance

  • Colour choice

  • Design flexibility

  • Low maintenance

  • Noise resistance

  • High Impact Option
