Stucco
Stucco is made from cement, sand and lime and provides a durable, hard, reliable surface that requires little maintenance. Stucco is applied over walls and surfaces and comes in a variety of textures and finishes. It is also versatile and can be used over concrete masonry, brick and wood frames.
Plaster
Plaster has been around for thousands of years, dating back to ancient times. Plaster is made from lime, plaster of Paris and water and provides a smooth surface on the wall.
