Sustainable

One of the reasons that stucco is so popular is because of its eco-friendly and sustainable properties. This is especially true in California, as it can be even more useful to deal with the sudden occurrence of earthquakes. California is also at the forefront for sustainable and reusable substances and materials, which contributes to this as well. So if you are looking at a new construction project or remodeling, or just notice the exterior walls of your house or building aren’t looking so good lately, a stucco contractor is the perfect person to call.

Stucco is used in eco-friendly building projects because it is always made from materials that can be found naturally. This allows great reuse and recycle properties that make the components of the materials involved in the stucco process. Sand, lime and cement combine to create stucco and these are all natural materials. Together this results in a very low environmental impact to use these substances. So first it is made up of sustainable resources, and then because of its complex properties that provide excellent insulation, the stucco then rewards the users with energy efficiency in their building, thus even further contributing to sustainability.

While sustainability is important, the other properties of stucco make it even more important for the residents located throughout California. This is because we constantly have to deal with earthquakes and shifting foundations. I remember that my parents house always had the doors unaligned, making it hard to open and close the doors from time to time. This is because the house was always shifting. This is just a common thing that occurs in California due to all the faults that are under the state. So this is where stucco comes in. Stucco is known for its structural strength and flexibility, so it is the premier option in earthquake-prone areas like Sacramento and its surrounding area like Elk Grove. All throughout California it becomes very important and useful. The application of stucco is done with extra reinforcement, typically metal lath, to provide even more sturdiness to handle all the constant stress that seismic activity can put on a building. So if you are handling a construction renovation project around our area here in northern California, we highly recommend utilizing stucco installation to assist with your project and ensure strong sustainability practices while also ensuring safety against potential seismic activity.
