Stucco has been used since ancient times to protect the structural integrity of buildings by adding durability and strength. Commercial stucco is used on commercial and residential building surfaces throughout the world.

It is available in several different formulations. These contain a variety of additives designed to increase the longevity and durability of stucco, as well as to improve its appearance. It is sometimes referred to as gypsum, although this is in reference to lime-based coatings. You can apply it directly to concrete, brick wall, wire mesh, or wooden frames.

In addition to being inexpensive, one of the other reasons commercial stucco is popular is its durability. That is why it is widely used in commercial premises. Stucco also allows builders to add texture and hide the less visually appealing aspects of a building, such as cinder blocks or clay bricks that were used in the original construction. It can be used as a protective coating for walls and ceilings. A variety of styles are also available, as commercial stucco can be stained in any desired shade to enhance the aesthetic value of a building. Besides that, it is also mold, fire and water resistant.

It is a rigid material that does not respond well to changes in climate and temperature. The constant expansion and contraction of the stucco layer over the years can lead to cracking and flaking, after which patching repairs will be required. Although this material can be waterproof, this largely depends on how it is applied to the structure. Improper installation and poor drainage will result in moisture build-up within the stucco layer, resulting in mold or mildew. Installing a stucco coat can also be laborious and time-consuming. However, its durability makes it worth it in the long run.

Stucco is a way to enhance the exterior of any building while increasing its longevity, despite the effort it takes to apply it.
