Rockwell Homes

A residential home builder constructing new houses in and around St. George.

Background

Stucco dominates residential cladding here, and its performance depends less on the finish coat than on what sits behind it. A traditional three-coat system is applied over lath and a weather-resistive barrier, and it is understood to be a water-managing assembly rather than a waterproof one: some moisture gets through, and the drainage plane behind is what carries it back out. That is why penetrations, terminations at grade and the flashing above openings determine whether a wall lasts, and why the desert's wide day-to-night temperature swing, which works every joint in the assembly, is a bigger factor than total rainfall.
