AK Construction Renovation completed a commercial stucco installation for a new Senior Living Facility in Bartlett, Illinois. The project involved newly constructed CMU block walls that required a durable exterior stucco system designed for long-term performance and weather protection.
Our team installed a traditional 4-coat stucco system with a total thickness of approximately 7/8 inch over the masonry substrate. The system included a weather-resistive barrier (Backstop WRB) and proper drainage detailing to protect the building envelope from moisture intrusion.
To increase durability and crack resistance, we installed an additional layer of fiberglass reinforcing mesh within the stucco base coats. This reinforcement helps strengthen the exterior cladding and provides long-term stability for large commercial wall areas.
