Cement Board Stucco: A Durable, Weather-Resistant Exterior System
Looking for a tough, low-maintenance exterior wall system that can handle Alberta’s harsh weather? Cement board stucco is a reliable, long-lasting solution. Designed to outperform traditional stucco, this high-impact, moisture-resistant system combines multiple protective layers for superior strength, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.
What Is Cement Board Stucco?
Cement board stucco is a modern cladding system that delivers the timeless look of traditional stucco with advanced performance benefits. Built with a multi-layered design, it enhances durability, moisture protection, and fire safety—making it ideal for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.
System Components
Cement Board Substrate: Provides a rigid foundation that resists warping, rotting, and deterioration, ensuring a strong, stable base.
Air & Moisture Barrier: Prevents water infiltration and protects the building envelope from hidden damage.
Reinforced Base Coat: Adds strength against cracking, impact, and general wear for a smoother, longer-lasting finish.
Polymer-Based Finish: Offers customizable colors and textures, creating a flexible, visually appealing surface that complements any architectural design.
Key Benefits of Cement Board Stucco Systems
1. Woodpecker-Resistant
The dense, solid surface of cement board stucco naturally deters woodpeckers, helping to prevent costly damage.
(For additional information, see Audubon’s Guide to Woodpecker Prevention).
2. Exceptionally Durable
Engineered to withstand extreme weather, freeze-thaw cycles, and physical impact, cement board stucco systems offer decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance.
3. Improved Fire Safety
Unlike wood or composite materials, cement board provides excellent fire resistance. It’s a smart, safe choice for both combustible and non-combustible construction, making it suitable for fire-rated assemblies in residential and commercial projects.
Why Choose Cement Board Stucco?
Whether building new or renovating, cement board stucco delivers long-term value, design flexibility, and weather resilience. It’s ideal for homes, offices, retail buildings, and multi-family developments where both strength and beauty matter.
