Stucco: OK, but I Wish You Wouldn’t

Join us for Build Smarter: A Seminar Series with Foster Lyons, hosted at Gault Stone & Landscape Supplies in Westport!

4:30 PM - Networking

5:00 PM - Presentation

In this engaging in-person session, building scientist and industry expert Foster Lyons will share practical strategies to help you build smarter, safer, and more sustainably.

Seminar 3: Stucco: OK, but I Wish You Wouldn’t

Stucco may look appealing, but in Fairfield County - especially near the waterfront - it often creates more problems than it solves. With our climate, rainfall, and common construction practices, stucco failures are all too familiar. In this seminar, Foster breaks down the different types of stucco systems, the common pitfalls in installation, and how to design durable cladding solutions that can stand up to local conditions.

You’ll gain practical insights into when stucco makes sense, when it doesn’t, and how to avoid costly mistakes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate between various cladding systems often referred to as stucco.
2. Identify construction methods that create problems in both traditional and modern stucco cladding.
3. Recognize environmental conditions that require compliance with new building code requirements for stucco.
4. Design stucco cladding systems that are both functional and durable.

Enjoy complimentary Sangria & Charcuterie while networking with peers and industry professionals.
