Pre-Made Acrylic (Synthetic) Textures And Finishes

Acrylic stucco is a little bit different than the traditional form and thus has different characteristics and properties that come with it like textures and finishes. Acrylic stucco is basically like an exterior quality paint that has sand mixed into it. There are a wide variety of different textures that you can achieve from using this particular material.

What Textures Can Be Achieved Using An Acrylic Or Synthetic Type Of Stucco?

Really, there is no limit to how many different types of textures you can achieve using a synthetic or acrylic stucco. You can basically achieve 90% of the same finishes that you could with traditional type stucco, but it will have a few minor differences that you need to take into consideration. For a more complete list of various finishes and textures, click here.

• Acrylic textures will range in depth from: 1/16″ to 1/8″
  
  
• Can range from traditional finishes to specialty ones
  
  
• Usually comes in a fine, medium or coarse base: This is basically the size of the aggregate used in the mix, fine is smaller particles and coarse is the largest ones.
  

Specialty Textures Offered By Certain Manufacturers:

There are some “specialty” type of textures that various manufacturers offer on top of the other types of acrylic finishes. These have special aggregate added to the mix, you just need to add a color bottle to achieve the correct color and apply the material, according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

These are simply just added textures and resemble an entirely different look than the “traditional type of acrylic finishes”. There really is not too much of a price difference (in most cases) and will usually require you to special order them, seeing as how distributors will likely not have them in stock.

I did not include every single texture that is available for acrylic/synthetic applications, as there are so many to choose from and many different variables that come into play, like location, distributors, etc. Do a little research on your own to find a texture that you like and see what is right for your project. Good Luck!
