Before starting with the stucco process, the wall is prepared with lathing. It is vital since lathing helps protect the wall of the house from moisture. It also provides a sturdy support to the stucco. Several steps are involved in lathing like:
Installation of weed screeds
It is used to expel the moisture from the bottom of the wall and wicking the wall. Installation of weed screed is done across the foundation of the house and the materials used can be:
Waterproofing paper that is asphalt-coated
It is a barrier installed on the exterior of the house framing so it can be a barricade between the exterior of the house and the outside moisture, The material used is also known as 60-minute paper, which is highly water resistant. The application is done from the bottom to the top of the wall in a layered manner so the moisture and water can trickle down.
Lath wire
This is also known as chicken wire which comes in several gauges. Typically a furred, hexagonal 17-gauge wire is used for the stucco system. The furred design makes the wire protrude a little helping the stucco to hold on to the wall better. The wire is installed using staples, nails, and dog ears The lath wire comes in different shapes
Expansion joints
It is used when the stucco installation is for a large area. The joints help in relieving stress and reduce chances of cracks in the long run.
Milcore & Plaster stops
These are installed to create seamless and straight edges where the stucco needs to stop, like the windows and doors.
Arch and corner aids
They provide strength to the arch and the corners for the stucco and allow the stucco to grab these areas with ease. Often they are used in the shape of straight or bull nose corners.
