Stucco

	History According to the archaeological record, stucco lustro was probably first used in ancient Egypt during the Old Empire. Stucco or render is a material made of an aggregate, a binder, and water. Stucco is applied wet and hardens to a very dense solid. It is used as a coating for walls and ceilings and for decoration. Stucco may be used to cover less visually appealing construction materials such as concrete, cinder block, or clay brick and adobe. The difference in nomenclature between stucco, plaster, and mortar is based more on use than composition. Until the later part of the nineteenth century, it was common that plaster, which was
	used inside a building, and stucco, which was used outside, would consist of the same primary materials: lime and sand (which are also used in mortar). Traditional stucco is made of lime, sand, and water. Advantages Stucco has many uses in modern day construction projects. The nature of the mixing process involved in the production of stucco allows for the integration of vast colour texture choices. Stucco is a hard and durable material while maintaining a uniquely desirable look, which is second to none. The nature of stucco allows its application in various shapes, forms and mediums. The resulting popularity of the stucco mixture resulted in the creation of numerous wall systems which use stucco as a base.
