with Foster Lyons

This course is a primer on hard coat and synthetic stucco systems for use in exterior walls. The course provides an introduction for architects, builders, and designers on how to design stucco finishes for exterior walls that reduce the risk for material failure, water entry, mold growth, poor indoor air quality, material decay and structural failure.

The course will enable participants to:

1. Recognize the unique properties of hard-coat and synthetic stucco exterior wall assemblies.

2. Identify the geographic regions of the united states that are most at risk with regard to stucco failure caused by water entry.

3. Identify the physical phenomena and wall assembly functionality with regard to rain water management and water vapor diffusion.

4. Select and incorporate into wall assembly designs the proper material and assembly details to prevent stucco failure and to prevent water entry, mold growth, poor indoor air quality, material decay and structural failure.
