Control Joints In Stucco

Full Description

It is the position of the author that the current ASTM control joint standards (italicized, supra):
1. Were never developed from any scientific, engineering or tested standard – rather they were
arbitrarily decided on a “best guess” or “seems-a-reasonable” basis.
2. Were regionally applicable when developed and never intended to replace proven methodologies
that had evolved in differing climate zones.
3. When applied to installations in hot and humid climates with high winds zones, create far more
damage than they avert.
