Cement Board Stucco
Enhance Your Exterior with Beautiful and Durable Cement Board Stucco Systems
At Met Exteriors, located in Edmonton, Alberta, we’re proud to offer cement board stucco systems as a premium exterior cladding solution for homeowners, residential or commercial properties. This innovative system combines the timeless beauty of traditional stucco with the exceptional performance and advantages of modern building materials.
What is Cement Board Stucco?
Cement board stucco is a high-impact, moisture-resistant exterior wall system that provides superior durability and weather resistance compared to traditional stucco. It achieves this by combining several key components:
- Cement board substrate:Â This strong and stable base provides a solid foundation for the entire system.
- Air and moisture barrier:Â This layer helps prevent water from entering the wall cavity, protecting your property from moisture damage.
- Reinforced base coat:Â This layer provides additional strength and stability to the system.
- Polymer-based finish:Â This top layer offers a variety of textures and colors to create the desired aesthetic look.
Benefits of Cement Board Stucco Systems:
- Faster installation: Compared to traditional stucco, cement board systems offer a faster and more efficient installation process, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
- Increased durability and weather resistance:Â Cement board stucco is highly resistant to moisture, cracking, warping, and insect damage, ensuring a longer lifespan for your property’s exterior.
- Improved fire safety: Cement board offers superior fire resistance compared to traditional stucco, providing an extra layer of protection for your home and family. Used in combustible and non-combustible construction.
- Wider design options:Â With a variety of textures and colors available, you can personalize your property’s exterior and achieve the unique curb appeal you desire.
- Lower maintenance:Â Compared to traditional stucco, cement board systems require less maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.
Thin Brick Veneer Applications
At Met Exteriors, we are experts in applying cement board stucco over existing thin brick veneer. This allows:
- Update their home’s exterior:Â Achieve a fresh, modern look with a wider variety of textures and colors offered by cement board stucco.
- Improve energy efficiency:Â Cement board stucco can potentially offer better insulation compared to thin brick veneer, leading to lower energy bills.
- Address minor issues:Â If your existing thin brick veneer has minor surface cracks or imperfections, a cement board stucco overlay can help conceal them while offering additional protection.
Important considerations:
- Professional assessment:Â Before applying stucco over your thin brick veneer, a qualified professional from Met Exteriors will assess your specific situation. This ensures your existing wall structure can support the additional weight and potential changes in moisture management.
- Surface preparation:Â Our team will prepare your existing thin brick veneer. This may involve cleaning, assessing any significant damage, and applying appropriate bonding materials to ensure a successful and long-lasting stucco overlay.
- Building code compliance:Â We will ensure your project adheres to all local building codes and regulations regarding exterior renovations and stucco applications.

Similar to thin brick veneer, Met Exteriors can also apply cement board stucco over existing stone veneer. This allows you to:
- Revamp your property’s exterior:Â Achieve a completely new look with the wider design possibilities offered by cement board stucco.
- Boost energy efficiency:Â Cement board stucco can potentially offer better insulation compared to some stone veneers, leading to potential energy savings.
- Conceal minor damage:Â If your existing stone veneer has minor surface cracks or imperfections, a cement board stucco overlay can help hide them while providing extra protection.
Important considerations:
- Expert evaluation:Â Just like with thin brick veneer, our professionals will conduct a thorough assessment of your existing stone veneer and wall structure before recommending a stucco overlay. This ensures the structural integrity and suitability for the additional weight and potential changes in moisture management.
- Meticulous preparation:Â Our team will prepare your existing stone veneer to ensure a successful and long-lasting stucco application. This may involve cleaning, assessing any significant damage, and applying appropriate bonding materials.

Is Cement Board Stucco Woodpecker Proof?
Cement board stucco systems offer an unexpected benefit for homeowners: they are naturally woodpecker-proof! Unlike traditional wood siding, the hard and unappealing surface of cement board discourages woodpeckers from attempting to drill holes, protecting your exterior from unwanted damage and pesky bird guests. This added layer of protection provides peace of mind alongside the numerous other benefits of cement board stucco.
