Case Study: New Residential Build in Southern California

For a large custom home in Southern California, a contractor selected both 20-gauge and 17-gauge wire mesh to tackle different parts of the project. The builder used 17-gauge mesh for the main exterior walls, ensuring durability and weather resistance for the long term. On accent columns and decorative sections, the 20-gauge mesh was employed for precise application and faster installation. The end result was a smooth, crack-free stucco finish that has stood up well to both sun and rain, reducing callbacks and maintenance costs.
