I post a new product discovery once a month. I evaluate hundreds of product from leading manufactures. I apply my experience as a builder, installer, and 25 years in the building industry to filter out all the marketing bs and copycat products to deliver only real advancements in performance and trends I see everyday in architect offices and on job sites in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This reminds me of EFIS fake stucco where the new product has to be installed perfectly or future horror stories ( semi-waterproof) are bound to happen.
If You want durable and functional, This product has unlimited applications!! I turned an unused living room area into a bedroom In two days with this product, we framed out the walls with an opening for a door, put up the Trusscore on both sides, put some soundproofing insulation in between added the door, and Wala we added another beautiful bedroom to the house. We also used it to make a European style wet bath because I didn’t want any grout or any drywall behind tile that could fail or rot. No, I’m not being paid by Trusscore to make these comments. The cost of Trusscore versus drywall plus labor to do all the taping, muddying, priming, and painting was equivalent. The difference is that drywall could eventually rot, get moldy, and is easily damaged versus the Trusscore, which wipes clean, doesn’t hold any orders, and actually looks very nice in a residential setting.
Stucco has been around a long time and proven on all buildings and climates. It does not have to be messy. How can a 1/4 inch cement panel compare to 7/8 inch plaster in wire netting? It cant. 7/8 inch stucco is one hour fire rated per code , no sheathing required to get one hour. Fiber panels as displayed require gypsum sheathing for that same rating.
I seen this product at the 2022 International Woodworking Conventions at a vendors booth who was using it in an assembly table. I am in the process of trying to get a sheet of this to play around with. My wife and I own a small business where we make home decor items like American wooden flags etc. This product would be perfect to make flags designed for mounting on the outside of a house or on a barn etc. I didn't know all the stuff you all talked about, so thank you so much for all the great information.
Does anyone know a competing stucco look a like panel? One they actually manufacture and stock? I've had 4 contractors to the house, not one has used or can source this mythical hardie stucco panel until November earliest. It's not even a big job, just need a dozen panels to cover a small area, but Hardie apparently can't deliver.
@@JonPaulie That is way too high compared to stucco which can range from $3-$9 per sq ft. I'm looking at about 5000 sq ft of stucco work which would cost $140,000 with these panels and perhaps $30-40k with stucco. So not sure what this gets me??
@@JonPaulie Seems like a no brainer. What did you add stucco to - hardy board or old stucco? I'm trying to see if they can stucco on top of other surfaces or need to rip it off first.
@@raajashtaputre2803 I tore off all my siding, repaired any of the OSB that needed it, added a water barrier and a rain screen and then stuccoed over that.
Have you never heard from tji joist. Very efficient. No foam. Better insulation is cellulose. And build walls with 300mm or more. Energy you not needed is the cheapest!!!!
When watching you Robbie, the song that comes to mind is..."Nobody does it better..." You do a great job highlighting products and inspiring people. We at Euroline Steel Windows and Doors, thank you. 👍
There is a furring strip called WaterairVent, it’s a unique composite furring strip that has channels built in which prevents trapped moisture from trapping behind the furring strip. The only thing I don’t like about easy fur is the price and I am concerned about them support the weight of a fiber cement board. Google WaterairVent and see what your think. I do believe it is also half the price of easy fur too.
The EasyFur®️ will compress when nailed. James Hardie®️ the largest producer of fiber cement siding does not recommend these mesh Rainscreen spacers because they compress and cause wavy siding. Plus they cause extreme blow out on the back of the Fiber cement siding when nailed. Use Roll On Rainscreen or our FM3 Rainscreen furring instead. Www.furringmaster.com
