The green alternative to synthetic stucco finishes
Green building refers to sustainable building practices that demonstrate a commitment to
protecting the health of our environment. Chief among green building concerns
is the use of naturally renewable or recycled materials that are obtained
locally, do the least possible environmental harm throughout the life cycle,
and perform well over time. Green building yields immediate and long-term
benefits in care and cost. Not surprisingly, these practices also increase the
value of any building.
TESS Finish, when used in EIFS and One Coat Stucco applications, offers a
greener alternative to synthetic (acrylic) stucco finishes. TESS cladding has
been designed from the ground up to eliminate or substantially reduce
environmental hazards, transportation, storage and maintenance costs, and
performance problems associated with acrylic and stucco finishes.
So why is TESS Finish the greener alternative to synthetic stucco finishes?

TESS Finish delivers a greener, smarter alternative to acrylic stucco finishes.
TESS Thinset Exterior Surfacing System offers all the well-known performance
advantages of EIFS — increasing energy efficiency with higher R-values while reducing building load — and provides green benefits beyond synthetic stucco: TESS Finish exceeds the
strictest air quality requirements, requires less energy to manufacture and
transport, further reduces building load, and significantly reduces plastic
landfill waste.
