Edges are overlapped per the system spec, and a heavier or doubled mesh is often added at high-impact areas like ground level. Once the reinforced base coat cures, the finish coat completes the EIFS or stucco assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from New England Building Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew England Building Supply Corp is a Connecticut EIFS, stucco, and masonry supplier in Meriden, CT.
