Re: Stucco: Where to Buy in manila?

Where can I find Stucco? I like the finishes that I have seen. But it seems like most contractors just use concrete and finish it like stucco.

Thanks in advance.

Stucco is basically cement, sand and colorant. A skilled worker can do it for you, The look would depend on the tools used to create the texture. BTW, it is best to use with bonding agents. HTH!

Thanks very much.

Would you know the proportions for the cement and sand?

Also, not sure what you mean by bonding agents.

Re: Stucco: Where to Buy in manila?

Is this the same material used usually in mall outdoor hallways which resembles like a stone tiles in various colors?

So, the texture is achieved through specific tools.

Where can you buy this? How expensive is it as compared to ordinary cement?

Can you use the same tool to achieve the texture using ordinary cement?

Thanks.

Much like plaster or palitada.....1:3 should be ok.....workers usually add more cement for a better texture and spreadability. Bonding agents are polymer based admixtures that aid in the adherence of plaster to the wall.

I'm not sure what you mean but my guess its stamped finish that you are referring to. I have no first hand experience with it.
