The purpose of study was to document the differences in performance of stucco systems where the lath was cut behind control joints vs. continuous lath. In the report, we share our process of discovery and how theories were verified and myths dispelled after conducting extensive performance testing that could likely impact future codes related to stucco installation. Thank you to our partners Tim Rogan, Z6 Commissioning, LLC, and Chad Dupee. Check out the results here - lnkd.in/erf4Y-A. #PerformanceAssurance #LaboratoryTesting #StuccoInstallation
