The Imasco stucco exterior is very strong because of the engineered formulation. Its structure is resistant to cracking, fading, and absorbing moisture. When installed properly, it can last decades of weather changes. It can resist heavy rains, strong winds, and UV rays. The acrylic resin base gives the flexibility to the structure required to live with Alberta freeze-thaw cycles and maintains a waterproof surface, which traps moisture. The outer shell is strong enough to resist direct sunlight, falling snow, rain, and some strong winds.
