Acrylic stucco, also called synthetic or elastomeric stucco, is made from resins or polymers that resemble paint with sand mixed in. While a bit pricier than traditional stucco, acrylic stucco has a wider range and stronger vibrancy of color and repels water. Also known to bridge hairline cracks because of its’ elastomeric properties. This makes it a great choice for both the appearance and protection of your home. – Sometimes referred to as classic, cement, or hard coat stucco, traditional stucco is composed of Portland cement, sand, lime, and water, and is very affordable. It offers a huge range of texture possibilities and can be colored, though lighter shades are recommended.
