Stucco FAQ

STUCCO

Should adjoining pieces of trim accessories, such as control joints, etc. used in stucco be butted tight together?

Adjacent or adjoining trim accessories should be gapped per the manufacturer's instructions (typically 1/8 to 3/16") to allow for expansion and contraction of the trim. The trim intersections should also be set in a bead of an approved sealant to minimize potential water entry.
