Aesthetics: Projects Look Better
- Stucco and stone less susceptible to “ridging” and “cracking” (due to consistent, compression resistant product) which is often associated with the furring strip/backerboard combination straighter, crisper walls!
- Less wavy siding and shakes due to consistent rigid product along entire depth of wall (not strips of wood or plastic every 8 or 16 inches which may cause waviness)
Unparalleled Ventilation/drying
