How It Works: The Edge Advantage
In a drainage mat stucco assembly, water that penetrates the stucco surface needs a clear path to exit. The drainage mat creates this vital air space, but proper control joints are crucial for guiding the water away. Edge provides the perfect, continuous channel for water to escape, preventing it from pooling or migrating behind the wall. This keeps the wall system dry and prevents common issues like efflorescence, mold growth, and structural damage.
Whether you’re a professional contractor or a diligent homeowner, choosing Edge means choosing peace of mind. It’s the intelligent, code-compliant choice for a superior stucco finish that performs as beautifully as it looks. Don’t settle for less—fortify your stucco with the protection it deserves.
