deteriorated exterior building paper
Hello guys and gals,
Here I answer a question I get asked often, How long can you leave waterproofing membranes uncovered by stucco, and exposed to the elements.
Most paper membranes are pretty tough, but they can’t be left uncovered long. Be sure to get your scratch coat of stucco over those membranes as soon as possible.
My personal opinion is one month however I have seen some paper membranes that have been on for much longer that I would claim are still in excellent condition.
Extreme weather such as very high winds or extreme hot weather can really beat up a pepper membrane, so if you have either of these conditions, don’t procrastinate and get some stucco up in time.
