Expert ICF Applications: Acrylic Stucco, Stone, Thin Brick & More by Met Exteriors
At Met Exteriors, we bring years of hands-on experience applying acrylic stucco over ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms). Through countless successful projects, we’ve seen how essential proper preparation is to achieving long-lasting, professional results.
When ICF is exposed to sunlight for too long, UV rays can degrade the foam, weakening its surface and reducing its ability to hold finishes securely. That’s why we always begin by thoroughly rasping the ICF surface. This crucial step removes the slick exterior layer and creates a textured surface that promotes strong adhesion for acrylic stucco and other exterior finishes.
To prevent common issues like cracking, delamination, or premature failure, the ICF must be rasped and the stucco system applied promptly. This ensures protection from environmental damage and results in a durable, weather-resistant, and beautiful finish.
In addition to acrylic stucco, Met Exteriors has extensive experience installing Thin Brick, stone veneer, and metal cladding over ICF structures. Whether you’re building a modern home or upgrading a commercial façade, our skilled team delivers top-tier craftsmanship tailored to Alberta’s and British Columbia’s unique climate demands.
