![]() U-STUCCO™ is 99% mineral based and contains up to 20% post-consumer recycled content making it a true green product. U-STUCCO™ ICX may also be used over wood or gypsum backing and as a scratch and brown coat application for traditional stucco systems. It can be used in conjunction with EPS, XPS (EIFS) or RockWool (Mineral Wool) to create wall assemblies with higher insulation R values and improved crack and water-resistance complying with California Title 24 code helping you build sustainable and energy efficient living spaces. U-STUCCO™ is ideal for achieving superior energy efficiency. U-STUCCO™ can be applied in a single pass of up to 1 inch to nearly any substrate, including plywood, OSB, gypsum, masonry, AAC, steel and ICF systems. U-STUCCO’s simple application process greatly reduces time and labor expenses and renders traditional 3-coat application obsolete. ![]() It provides fire resistance (2hr rated 2,192☏) as well as thermal (up to R 2.2 per inch), water and acoustic insulation (42 dB). It’s an ultra light-weight (1/7th weight of the conventional stucco) hydrophobic, high crack and corrosion resistant, UV reflective, ready-to-use powder-mix product. Apply in a single pass of up to 1” to nearly any substrate, including Plywood, OSB, CMU blocks, Concrete, Metal, AAC, EPS, XPS and ICF systems.ĭESCRIPTION Meet U-STUCCO™, world’s first 'insulated' stucco that is revolutionizing the stucco industry with its thermal, fire, water and acoustic insulation properties. Provides superior fire-resistance, water-resistance, mold and mildew protection, acoustic insulation and high thermal insulation. Covers “thermal breaks” in wall assemblies and significantly enhance any structure’s insulation performance and energy efficiency. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Gain up to 2.2 R value per inch without the addition of any rigid foam board. MATERIAL STANDARDS Cement : ASTM C150 Light Weight Aggregate : ASTM C330 / C332 U-STUCCO™ ICX meets code criteria for exterior portland cement plaster. Thanks to the ICF construction and solid design form, this home has a quiet but resilient presence in what is a busy suburban location.PRODUCT COMPOSITION U-STUCCO™ ICX is a blend of high-performance white portland cement and mineral based lightweight aggregates that conforms to ASTM C926 which is developed as a replacement to job-site mixed base coat stucco. This semi-brutalist appearance is softened by the warmth of hardwood timbers and the overall palette is rounded off with feature 4mm powdercoated aluminium screens with a waterjet cut pattern which provides privacy to spaces when viewed from the street yet still allows plenty of light into those bedrooms for the inhabitants. ![]() This basic construction principle means that the form of the building imparts a bold effect and highlights the strength and durability of the ICF. The design provides for simplicity of construction - another key criteria – with main loadbearing walls located over one another. Instead of conforming to a stereotypical suburban house, our design solution was to provide a building that is a distinct juxtaposition to the norm. This excellent brief enabled us to explore ways to utilise Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) as the main construction material. ![]() In this project, our client wanted to create a strong and durable structure that provided privacy while also allowing for passive, sustainable principles to be implemented. ![]()
