Stucco Details
Hi,
What is the proper way to build out stucco details? should I use DOW foam.. or just use wood.. Wood seems stronger and easyer to repair if someone happened to smash into the detail or such.. |

Re: Stucco Details
Foam is easier to repair than wood.

Re: Stucco Details
I'm with Tsc on this one.With foam the damage is usually centralized.I thik foam damages easier but still not that easy.Chances are you'll never be making any repairs.I've seen foam on many high end houses.I mean Lee Ioccoca complained about our sandpile once.Those type of neighborhoods,high end.

Re: Stucco Details
I would go with the foam as well.
