What we do

Types of work: acrylic over insulation

Type 01 · Acrylic over insulation

Acrylic over insulation

Installation over insulation

The acrylic over insulation system goes on in layers: insulation board fastened to the wall, a base coat reinforced with mesh, then the acrylic finish coat. Each layer has its role: the insulation keeps the heat in, the mesh prevents cracks, and the acrylic protects against water while giving colour and texture. We prepare the wall, install the boards in straight lines and take care of corners, openings and joints with other siding.

Type 02

Acrylic repair

A hole, a crack or a crushed area can be repaired without redoing the whole façade. We cut out the damaged area, replace the insulation if needed, redo the reinforced coat and apply a finish as close as possible to the existing colour and texture. When water has got in behind, we check the insulation and the wall before closing it up.

Type 03

Details around windows

Most leaks in an acrylic finish start around windows, doors and flashing. We redo these details with sealant joints, flashing that sends water outward and well-finished edges. It is meticulous work, but it is what keeps the façade dry.

Type 04

Finishes and colours

Acrylic comes in several textures and colours. We show you the options and choose with you a finish that matches the rest of the building. A single façade can combine acrylic with brick or another siding for a more modern result.

Type 05

Commercial and apartment buildings

On commercial and apartment buildings, acrylic over insulation refreshes a façade while improving insulation. We plan the work in sections, protect the entrances and organize the scaffolding to disturb occupants and customers as little as possible. Each section is finished before the next one starts, so the building never stays open to the weather.

Our approach

An acrylic façade stays good-looking if water stays out

01.

A well-installed acrylic finish lasts a long time. Problems almost always come from details: poorly made flashing, a split sealant joint, a badly connected window.

02.

We pay special attention to these points before the finish even goes on, because once the finish is applied they can no longer be seen.

03.

Façades in Montreal face rain, snow and frost. We apply the finish when the temperature allows and protect fresh work from rain.

04.

Because we also do foundation parging and general renovation, we can redo the bottom of the wall and the connections at the same time, for a façade finished top to bottom. You do not have to coordinate several contractors for the same wall, and every connection is thought through with the rest of the building. Before closing up a wall, we also check that the insulation behind it is dry and in good condition.

Clear answers

Frequently asked questions

How much does acrylic stucco over insulation cost?

The price depends on the area, the height, the scaffolding needed and the finish. We prepare a quote after the visit.

Can only part of the façade be repaired?

Yes. A damaged area can be repaired. The colour and texture are matched as closely as possible.

When can acrylic be installed?

When the temperature allows the finish to cure properly. We plan the work according to the season.

Does acrylic over insulation improve insulation?

Yes. The insulation board added to the outside of the wall reduces heat loss through the façade.

Why does my acrylic finish have stains under the windows?

These streaks often come from water running off the sill or flashing that does not send water far enough from the wall. We check these details, redo the sealant joints and correct the flashing before cleaning or repairing the surface.

Can the colour of an acrylic façade be changed?

Yes. A façade in good condition can get a new finish coat in another colour, after cleaning and repairing damaged areas. We show you the available colours and textures before we start.

Do I need a permit for this work in Montreal?

It depends on the work and the borough. Many exterior projects require a permit from the borough. We check with you what applies before we start and tell you what steps to take.

Do you hold an RBQ licence?

Yes. Dahomey Construction holds RBQ licence 5825-5522-01. You can check it in the public registry of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec before the work starts.
