Stucco over SIPs: rainscreen necessary? Installation tips?
Claire Anderson| Posted inGreen Building Techniqueson
We’d like to have a stucco finish over SIPs, but area stucco contractors seem stumped by the SIPs.
I’m wondering what’s required:
vapor barrier?
rainscreen construction?
Is acrylic stucco or a lime-based stucco better?
Cheers,
Claire

We just did a stucco over OSB double wall construction and the stucco method we used for the OSB should work for the SIPS. Send me an E-mail to[email protected]and I'll send you some photos and other resources from the Jacksonville Florida building inspections department that I found to be very helpful.
All the best
