New paints?
Are there any new paints now out in the market that will prevent moisture from seeping through?
I have a 60-year old house with exterior stucco walls. When it rains real hard moisture tends to seep through the stucco and dampen the wood frames underneath.
I need to know if there are new paints out there will prevent such seepage plus seal hairline cracks that appear here and there.
It frightens me to think how much it would cost to restucco the house. :-(
I would check out an elastomeric coating as they are designed to bridge cracks and are waterproofers as well. If you have large cracks there are fillers that go along with the coating for these areas. Go to your local paint store and they will be able to help you out.
There is a new product distributed through Dunn Edwards in California called Envirocoatings. It has water proofing plus 170% elongation to prevent cracking on surfaces like stucco. Here is the site info:
