We can install stucco walls on any outdoor kitchen type irrespective of its base structure. In Alpharetta, our stucco installation specialists have applied stucco on concrete block structures, steel-framed structures with backer boards and wood-framed structures with backer boards. The beauty with stucco building installation is that they are light in weight and much easier to apply.
In Alpharetta, the predominance of Mediterranean inspired architecture has driven the demand for stucco as an exterior wall material for home facades. Almost always, homeowners whose buildings are inspired by this sun-drenched European architectural style tend to integrate red tile and stucco together. EIFS stucco can be extended to the outdoor kitchen and this will save you lots of money in addition to blending your kitchen with the rest of the architecture.
When used on a larger scale, stucco is relatively inexpensive. Combine this with the rainbow of colors you can choose from, your kitchen can have the best aesthetics.
Decorative Options for Your Stucco Kitchen Space
If you have decided to install stucco for your outdoor kitchen, it is important that you do not leave the aesthetics behind. Stucco is versatile and you can easily trowel it on your exterior kitchen wall to create unique textures and patterns. You can also color stucco using stains or pigments. If you decide to pigment the stucco, you add it in the base mixture and in this way, it won’t flake off.
Stained stucco on the other hand is colored later on after the curing process is complete. The staining is done on the top finish coat. Depending on your preferences, you can go for synthetic stucco also known as EIFS. This is available in many textures and colors.
The beauty with synthetic stucco for your kitchen space is that it is much easier to apply, relatively flexible, and doesn’t develop cracks easily.
How We Apply Stucco to Your Exterior Kitchen Spaces
After we have assessed the layout of your exterior kitchen, our stucco contractors will start by preparing the surface. EIFS system application is supposed to be done on a clean surface that is solid and devoid of any particles such as dust, grease, paint, and oil that may undermine the stucco adhesion. Before we start applying stucco, we moisten the surface and dampen it.
We then prepare the mix into a homogenous compound. We balance the thickness so that it doesn’t either become too thick or too thin. After that, we then apply the mixture. For your kitchen, we recommend the three-step process where we apply the scratch coat then brown coat and finally the finish coat.
We have installed stucco in many exterior kitchen spaces in Alpharetta. We therefore have the experience and the skill to do your job well. Get in touch with us today.
