Stucco Mesh

Stucco mesh is a reinforcing material made from galvanized metal, and is designed to provide structural support for stucco applications. It is typically used to ensure durability, prevent cracking, and enhance the adhesion of the stucco to various surfaces. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, stucco mesh is crucial in achieving a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Preferred Brand Stucco Mesh: A Practical, Job-Site Ready Guide

Preferred Wire Products’ stucco netting (often called “stucco mesh”) is engineered for smooth installs and consistent finishes in both one-coat and three-coat stucco systems. Below, we translate the key specs into plain English, show where each gauge/width fits best, outline a field-tested install flow, and share a short case study you can relate to.

Quick snapshot: Three-coat: 17-ga galvanized, 36" × 150' rolls (≈50 sq yds). One-coat: 20-ga galvanized, 37" × 150' rolls (≈51.4 sq yds) for full 36" coverage + 1" overlap. Self-furred designs and a proprietary SOFT-WEAVE process help the mesh lie flat and fold cleanly into corners for faster production and better finishes.

What Makes Preferred Brand Different

  • Self-furred contact: Built-in furring points space the mesh off the substrate so plaster keys properly—no guesswork.
  • SOFT-WEAVE handling: The mesh lies flat, stays pliable, and folds neatly around corners—reducing waves, warps, and jobsite rework.
  • Coverage designed for crews: The 37" one-coat roll is sized to give full 36" coverage plus a 1" overlap—fewer field trims.
  • ICC-ES recognition: Products are ICC certified (ESR-2055), making submittals and inspections smoother.

Choosing Gauge & Width (Plain-English)

17-ga, 36" × 150' = three-coat workhorse for walls, columns, and soffits. 20-ga, 37" × 150' = one-coat projects where that built-in overlap saves time at weeps, sills, and openings.

Planning & Coverage

  • Roll math: 36" × 150' ≈ 50 sq yds; 37" × 150' ≈ 51.4 sq yds. Add 5–10% for overlaps, starts/stops, and waste around openings.
  • Layout logic: Plan vertical runs that minimize seams across windows/doors. Pre-cut pieces for corners and returns to keep crews moving.
  • Accessory fit: Confirm alignment with weep screed, casing beads, control joints, and lath/lap requirements in your local code/JTA.

Install—Step by Step

  1. Prep: Verify WRB placement, flashings, and penetrations. Snap lines for clean course starts.
  2. Hang: Fasten to framing per spec (fastener type/spacing), keeping furring points oriented correctly.
  3. Lap & tie: Maintain required side/end laps; tie seams and reinforce corners/openings.
  4. Inspect & scratch: Check flatness, then proceed with scratch/brown or one-coat per system requirements.

Case Study: Multi-Family One-Coat Exterior

Project: Three-story multi-family build targeting a tight schedule and uniform façade. The GC selected Preferred Brand 20-ga, 37" × 150' for one-coat stucco to save time on layout and overlaps.

Approach: Crews ran vertical courses, using the extra 1" to cover from weep screed to sill in a single pass. SOFT-WEAVE handling helped the mesh sit flat over WRB and fold into window returns without spring-back.

  • Install speed: Fewer trims and re-hangs around openings; daily production improved ≈10–15% vs. prior projects using standard 36" mesh.
  • Finish quality: Reduced “waves/warps,” producing straighter scratch coats and less touch-up during brown/finish.
  • Inspection: ICC-ES coverage streamlined approvals; punch-list items dropped at lath inspection.

Spec Snapshot (At-a-Glance)

  • Three-coat: 17-ga, 36" × 150' (≈50 sq yds), self-furred channel design.
  • One-coat: 20-ga, 37" × 150' (≈51.4 sq yds), self-furred at regular intervals for consistent keying.
  • Process: SOFT-WEAVE for flat, pliable mesh; helps minimize waves, warps, and broken wires.
  • Compliance: ICC-ES ESR-2055. Check local code, fastener type/spacing, and accessory integration.
