Xi Continuous Insulation
Code compliant lath
  • Metal Lath
  • Plastic Lath
  • Woven Wire
FacadesThree Scratch and Brown
  • FacadesThree Concentrate: pre-mixed ASTM C926 code compliant stucco base coat consisting of portland cement, fibers and additives, mixed with water and sand.
  • FacadesThree Sanded: pre-mixed ASTM C926 code compliant stucco base coat consisting of portland cement, sand, fibers and additives mixed only with water in the field.
Primer (Optional per specification) – for decreased efflorescence and highest finish coat aesthetic performance.
  • Xi-Alkali Resistant Primer
Finish Coat – Integrally colored and textured. Unlimited color selection, dirt pick up resistant
  • Xi-Textured Acrylic Finish
  • Xi-Elastomeric Finish

Limitations

  • Framed walls must terminate stucco a minimum of 4-inches above grade, 2-inches above finished grade, or as specified by local code.
  • Moist curing must be provided per specifications.
  • Ambient and surface temperature must remain above 40ºF (4ºC) during and for 24-hours after set has occurred.
  • Protect applied product from inclement weather until dry.
  • Efflorescence is a natural occurrence when using cement based products subject to exterior or wet environments.
  • No additives are permitted to any components unless specifically approved by FXI.
  • Follow the application instructions for each component.
  • Cracking will occur in portland cement stucco. This statement is true of any Portland cement based product and is not a defect of the product. Cracking can be minimized by following best practices in the FaçadesOne Stucco Handbook; including proper installation of lath, proper use of control and expansion joints, proper sand selection, proper proportioning of stucco mix, avoiding the use of excess water, moist curing of the stucco after it has been applied, and proper sequencing of construction to avoid stresses in the freshly placed stucco.
  • For use on vertical above grade walls only.
  • Dark colors may show efflorescence more easily and imperfection in the stucco base coat compared to light colors.
  • Maintenance Required: periodic cleaning, repair of cracks and impact damage if they occur, recoating to enhance appearance of weathered finish.

Advantages

  • Factory prepared mixed stucco base for consistent field quality control.
  • Impact and puncture resistant.
