TECHNICAL FAQ
Technical Exterior Coating Insights
• Question: What is elastomeric paint, and why is it necessary for Southern California stucco? Answer: Elastomeric coatings are thick, flexible finishes that can stretch up to 300% to bridge dynamic hairline cracks in stucco. This flexibility prevents rainwater from getting behind the paint layer during seasonal storms.
• Question: Why is back-rolling required after spraying exterior stucco? Answer: Spraying alone can leave tiny air pockets over textured stucco. Manual back-rolling forces the wet paint deep into these microscopic voids, ensuring a uniform bond and preventing early peeling.
Exterior Coatings Terminology
• Elastomeric Coating: A high-viscosity, flexible polymer finish that accommodates structural movement while keeping out exterior water.
• Back-Rolling: Hand-rolling a surface immediately after spraying to improve paint penetration and level out the texture.
• Mil-Thickness: A unit of measurement (1 mil = 1/1000 inch) used to verify the correct application thickness of wet and dry paint films.
