Ben Recommends: Stucco & Masonry
Stucco & Masonry are highly susceptible to moisture absorption and require a vented air space for drainage and drying to increase the longevity of your investment.
Our recommended solution contains the following components:
- Premium WRB/Housewrap
- Non-Asphalt based self adhered flashing
- At least a ¼" thick engineered rainscreen
Part 1
FlatWrap HP - Premium Housewrap
Strength & durability matter when it comes to protecting your sheathing. Stucco & masonry products have chemicals in them that can cause inferior housewraps and building paper to deteriorate overtime. FlatWrap HP is a tri-laminate house wrap that protects the important water holdout film by sandwiching it between 2 layers of a premium non-woven house wrap. Its durability can withstand the rugged installation that's typical of stucco applications.
Part 2
HydroFlash - Self Adhered Flashing
Use HydroFlash for all of your window and door flashings needs. HydroFlash is an aggressive peel-and-stick self adhered flashing that out-performs other butyl and rubberized asphalt versions. The specially formulated bloc co-polymer can be applied to damp surfaces and installed down to 0° F.
Part 3
Slicker Max - Engineered Rainscreen
Given the absorptive tendencies of stucco & masonry, you need to make sure that any water that gets in, has a chance to escape and dry. Slicker Max creates a 1⁄4 in. - 7⁄16 in. space that promotes drainage while allowing air to move, drying your wall from the inside out. The added fabric acts as a bond break that prevents mortar from entering the wall cavity during installation.
