Installing Tyvek StuccoWrap
Hello everyone, on this project my sons and I explain how to install tyvek stucco wrap prior to the two more layers of Jumbo Tex weather barrier.
If any of you folks have technical questions about Tyvek Products please call my buddy Mark Silvaira at 925 437-9933. Mark is (A Senior Certified Dupont Tyvek Specialist) and a nice guy.
“If only I had a fancy title like Mark”
Remember old Kirk is an applicator not an engineer, meaning I have used Tyveks products many times before, but technical questions can be answered accurately by Mark Silvaira at 925 437-9933

Installing Tyvek StuccoWrap
As always, great and informative! Looks like a big job. All that prep takes a lot of time and makes that house bullet proof! Hope to see it when being plastered and finished. Thankd
Hey Tim, we are planning on explaining certain things about this project as the home is different in many ways to our previous stuff. Bull nose corners and stucco parapets etc.
Have a great day!

@Kirk & Jason Giordano's plastering & stucco tips
yaaaaa, times have changed. "Cows 'S' on the rocks." LOL
ALSO…yaaaa 3.75 floors up plaster droppings. BOY DID THEY SPLAT!
Thats the facts, me, I rarely drop say more than a whole hawk full on a complete home as my trowel is much bigger than my hawk, I've had to let go many guys in the past as by the time they were done they would drop 2 to sometime 4 wheel barrels of mud.
When this nonsense occurred I would tell those same guys at the end of the day to shovel up the mud and put in buckets to help them understand, politely, that they drop too much.
Cheers,

kirk, what do you recommend for drip sill around an exterior wall that has a treated wood base at 90 degrees direct to concrete. I have some ideas, but would like to get your opinion, is there a specific metal drip guard for such? Love your videos very informative.
Hi Mia dude, I use a weep screed to go below the mud sill in order to protect this wood plate,
some jobs require a Z flash first if the concrete foundation protrudes too far past the shear wall cladding to protect this mud sill, then you counter the Z flash with a metal drip screed,
Cheers,

Hey Kirk, Dupont needs to listen to a guy like you telling them to put some type of dashed line every 18" on the wrap. Kind of like OSB sheathing has. They do not listen to use mear homeowners suggestions.
Morning Original Captain Howdy dude, thank you, however,
Dupont is a billion dollar company that has it's reasons, I'm sure.
Cheers and happy Labor day,

K, I just admire your work and knowledge, have a pretty stupid question, would appreciate your reply… I just don't get it, what is the real difference between stucco, the grey one and Portland Cement and sand mix? If you would a little about applications for each (basic & short), sorry for bothering… I'm stuck to your vids… best!
Jay Vallarino
Howdy Jay Dude, no worries as it's a question I'm asked often, it really is confusing, it's the terminology.
Cement plaster is a term or word most folks used for cement plaster and stucco, with stucco you add sand with cement you add rocks.
The Grey Portland cement is simply the binder that keeps either the sand, (stucco) and or rocks, (Cement) together.
Both stucco and cement are grey in color when dry.
The terminology is often confusing,
Another example is most folks call stucco, plaster, mud, muck render, mortar or cement plaster all terms sort of mean the same thing however if you really wish to know, Stucco or cement plaster is used for exteriors only.
Plaster is a term used for interior unless the word cement is used in front of the word plaster
"Then to further complicate a simple matter of terminology in the UK, they call Stucco and cement plaster mainly Rendering, as in applying cement plaster.
Other areas use different terms too but most cement plaster are naturally grey in color as the Main ingredient in cement plaster is Portland Cement, as I said before Portland cement is Grey.
FYI, when I use either term I'm simply reaching out to others in different countries who wish some information while I'm still kicking, who knows tomorrow I might be worm food, I wish to share the knowledge, we all have quirky habits, explaining what I'm good at raises my self esteem a wee bit and every bit helps.
Cheers and have a good and healthy new year,

Why not wrap the house with foam board? Wouldn't that alone provide a moisture barrier?
Howdy Tony Dude when using the EFIS system a fella still has got to attach a moisture barrior, the moisture barrior is dictated by the system chosen.

Doing a basement could you just use the foam board alone? I was under the impression you could.

Why is it necessary to use so many nails/staples at specific distances when your just holding the stucco wrap in place till you go over the same wrap/paper with wire mesh and staples at required (by coded) spaces to hold the wire down? The staples used to hole the wire down will automatically hold the wrap in position and it seems like your putting more unnecessary holes in the wrap?
Howdy Steve, I do as the engineers specify, you on the other hand can do as you wish, I'm not judging anyone.

Kirk Giordano’s professional plastering advice
I hope you see this!? I built a garage, not very big 14×22, and was going to do siding but my house is stucco, so I decided to do the garage the same but I already had Tyvek on it BUT it is not the STUCCO kind (didn’t know that existed) do I need to remove it and find the stucco kind?
Howdy Dude, in our area two lawyers of 60 minute moister barriers are necessary, If you also have Tyveck of any kind that's just an extra layer and unnecessary precaution, you will be fine if you install your two layers over whats on the walls now.

cut a board 18", use it as a guide for nailing…..i do this all the time when I have repetitious nailing….holding a tape is PITA
Howdy Kirk dude, no doubt, there are many ways to skin a cat, or do get the job done.

Jason and I will teach you, “how to render a wall.”
is this plastic cheap , ugly thing necessary ?? looks like the houses in the USA are a pain in the ass to build/repaiir versus cement blocks . if I don't hav this in the house what will happen ?? is that necessary by code???
It is necessary. You do not want water to penetrate into your wall. Stucco will always manage to leak water.
Are all the house's in the US built out of wood. Do you ever render over brick houses? Think I'd sooner quit plastering if i had to do that every single time. Ball ache
Greetings Jamie, no, we use wood framing here as it's still readily available.
After all the worlds forest is gone, the powers that be will find a new resource.
We have plastered over strawbale homes as well as block and brick too.
Peace, love, and happiness being plastered
Sound Plastering tips from your favorite stucco geeks
Kirk is the drip flashing only supposed to be behind the house wrap or could it mount over the house wrap ?
The drip can go over house wrap and then seal the drip top edge with straight wrap (one to two inches over), then building paper over that. Normally you put drip, then straight flash over top edge of drip to seal it. House wrap over both. Tape bottom edge about a quarter inch onto the drip, then building paper over. (bld. paper optional) hope that helps
yukone sikotk you’ll want a bond breaker with traditional stucco no? Don’t forget the paper after tyvek stucco wrap.
Throw that tape in the trash and buy a real tool, not a toy.
Good Evening, thanks for the tip.

Hello Kirk , Thank you for all the posts. Do you have a video that deals with Styrofoam nailed to Cinder Block?
Good Evening Sal, many on how to attach styrofoam, but none that shows attaching the foam to cinder blocks.
sorry,
FYI, you would have to use just the poly bond as no nails will work.

Hi. Do you have to put 2 layers of the wrap?
Thanks in advance. Love your videos
Odell as in Odell Complete Concrete?
Very involved. Have you used a similar system on an ICF wall that is then stuccoed with a traditional 3 coat stucco? I don't want to use the fiberglass mesh embedded stucco that is often used on ICF.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. You are amazing! Your videos are very informative and helpful. I like the family dynamic the most, and it’s real nice to see a father teaching their son a skill that they could use the rest of their life. Please keep the videos coming. I hope all is well with you and your family
Good what up good excellent jop boss
Thanks for ll the great videos. I'm not a plasterer or will ever attempt it, but enjoy watching these and enjoy that your family business dynamic works. I am building a custom home and trying to learn more about the things I don't know. One question I have – who typically installs the Tyvek? Is that the framing contractor.
good video. thank you.
amazing work Kirk
