Many
people have found the wonderful benefits of fog coating their existing
stucco, providing a renewed look to their home exterior.
What is Fog Coating?
Fog Coating is the process of mixing various amounts of minerals,
cement, and liquids; mixed together to allow for spraying application
overtop of existing stucco in order to recolour it.
It’s important to remember that this stucco application doesn’t
simply cover-up the stucco, but rather penetrates the colour layer. It
will rejuvenate the look of the stucco and give you the colour and look
you had or always wanted with your stucco finish.
Can I just paint over my existing stucco? If your stucco has
already been painted, then new paint is your only affordable
option. If your stucco hasn't been painted, then fog coating is
your best option. It’s important to remember that paint is
designed to seal, where as stucco is designed to breathe. When you
paint over your stucco moisture is able to be trapped inside, causing
rot, and mold or mildew to grow. Another issue with painting over
stucco is longevity. Fog Coating doesn’t seal the existing stucco,
rather is integrated into the existing stucco, allowing the materials
to naturally breathe. You also maintain the texture of the stucco,
which you lose when using paint. Paints are also likely to chip, flake,
and peel in just a few years, not to mention making it much more
difficult for stucco repair or recoating stucco surfaces, as stucco
does not adhere well to painted surfaces.
The number one benefit, for using fog coating materials, versus
painting, is that it's much easier to apply and can be touched up
easily.
Fog Coating is designed solely with the goal of renovating the look and
life of your existing stucco. Many people aren’t aware that stucco and
fog coating are both a lasting investment in the beauty and life of
your home, comparable and competitive in price to other methods of
exterior design.
