STUCCO METAL WALL PANELS F.A.Q.’s (Frequently Asked Questions) Do your STUCCO COATED PANELS come in different lengths? YES! We form our Stucco Building Panels in lengths from One-Foot to Twenty-five feet and in any increment of an inch in between. How wide are your STUCCO WALL PANELS? Our Stucco Panels cover Sixteen Inches in width (18” overall) from seam to seam. They are available ONLY in this width. Can you match the existing color of my building with your STUCCO STEEL PANELS? YES! Provide us a wet sample of paint, a painted sample or simply give us the original paint manufacturer’s name and color number for an exact match at no extra charge. What gauge steel are your STUCCO BUILDING PANELS? Our Metal Stucco Panels are formed from very sturdy, 20-gauge,G-90, galvanized steel to assure a uniform flat surface that resists wrinkling and “oil canning”. Standard corrugated metal panels are normally much thinner, 26-28 gauge. Are your STUCCO COATED PANELS insulated? Not usually, but our Stucco Panels can be insulated at the factory (additional charges apply) with standard EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam board. Various thickness and densities can be used to achieve desired R-Values. More often though, batts of rolled fiberglass insulation are installed over the girts before our Stucco Wall Panels are attached. Contact us for installation procedures. Will your STUCCO BUILDING PANELS be damaged if they are installed during bad weather? NO! Unlike concrete, masonry or EIFS, our Stucco Wall Panels can be installed during periods of rain, snow or sub-freezing weather. No damage will result. What are some of the typical applications for your METAL STUCCO PANELS? Commercial Buildings, Offices, Retail Centers, Churches, Schools, and Government Buildings are some of the more popular uses for our Stucco Building Panels.
