First Finishes

This week we’ve gotten the first glimpse of the exterior finish. The color changes a bit with the exposure to sunlight, and the finish in the photo is not fully cured, yet. Nonetheless, the color is spot on and works perfectly with the setting as intended. This is an exciting step, as most of the team have gotten very used to the white of the EPS insulation over the last few months. As mentioned earlier, a lot is happening at the house. The next 2-3 weeks are going to present the biggest changes in terms of finishes the house has seen so far.

    Tim, what is the stucco-like finish you’re using?

  2. It’s a Sto EIFS (exterior insulation and finish system). The finish itself is Sto Stolit, the foam is EPS.
