When choosing your stucco finish, consider the overall design style of your home. Each stucco finish will work with most styles, but some are better than others. Let’s take a look at the 5 most popular stucco finishes:
SANTA BARBARA STUCCO FINISH
If you are looking for an elegant finish, look no further than Santa Barbara stucco. Also known as the Santa Barbara Mission finish, this finish is often used on Spanish style homes and is usually left natural and unpainted. The finish features two coats that result in a beautiful irregular finish that is semi-smooth.
LACE STUCCO FINISH
Lace finish, also known as lace and skip or skip and trowel, is one of the most popular types of stucco finishes as it’s a great solution for hiding imperfections.
SAND STUCCO FINISH
The sand stucco finish, also known as float, is arguably one of the most popular types of stucco finish. The name “sand” comes from its grainy appearance as actual sand is mixed in with the stucco to achieve its texture. The end result can be more fine or coarse depending on the type of sand you use.
SMOOTH STUCCO FINISH
As one of the more time consuming finishes to achieve, the smooth stucco finish has a clean and simply elegant appearance.
CAT FACE STUCCO FINISH
The cat face finish, also sometimes referred to as the California finish, features a smooth surface with rough patches throughout the design. These rough patches vary in size and spacing depending on how you want the end result to look.
