What is Exterior Wall Coating?
Exterior wall coating involves applying a protective and decorative layer to the exterior surfaces of a building. These coatings can come in different varieties such as cementitous, elastomeric, or chemically bonded. Most masonry is meant to be exterior without a coating, however some materials perform better with a coating such as CMU or stucco. Coatings helps to protect the building from the elements, such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, while also enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

What is an exterior wall coating and when does a commercial building need one?
An exterior wall coating is a protective barrier applied to a building's facade to prevent water infiltration, resist weathering, and extend the life of the substrate. Commercial buildings typically need one when the masonry or concrete exterior shows signs of moisture penetration, efflorescence, or surface deterioration that a water repellent alone cannot address.
