Any advice for stucco/plaster application over an exterior foam sheathed home?
My wall assembly is Zip sheathing with 3″ taped Polyiso. I know there are multiple rainscreen products for stucco application (Delta Dry and Lath, etc) but they don’t seem to be workable with exterior insulation unless i’m missing something?
The options i was considering are
A: 1×4 rainscreen with long screws through the polysio into the studs, fiber lath over the rainscreen, 3 coat stucco. Not sure how close I need to space the rainscreen batts, was thinking 16″ o/c.
B: 1×4 rainscreen, 4×8 cement board sheets, 2 coat Stucco onto the cement board
C: Spider lath over the polyiso but not sure how to attach it securely through 3″ of foam. 3 coat stucco
Thanks in advance!!
