Parging

Similar to stucco, parging is a finishing process that enhances the appearance of your home’s exterior. A masonry-based mortar covers surface imperfections on concrete foundations and other surfaces. Parging can be applied to new or existing walls, foundations, columns, bricks, stones, and concrete, providing an economical solution for improving the look of various masonry surfaces. We also offer acrylic parging for enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal, which provides superior adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance, ideal for Edmonton’s climate.

Efficient and Affordable Edmonton Parging

Parging, much like stucco, is a finishing process that enhances the exterior appearance of homes and business locations. It is typically applied to above-grade concrete foundations using masonry-based mortar instead of a stucco mixture. This method is excellent for covering surface imperfections in concrete or concrete-block surfaces, creating an attractive aesthetic appeal. Parging can be performed on new or existing walls and various surfaces, including foundations, columns, vertical surfaces, bricks, stones, and concrete. It remains a cost-effective solution for improving the look of many masonry surfaces.

Restorative and Reliable Parging Repair

Parging typically uses a factory formula called Type N Mortar, composed of Portland cement and sand, available in various pre-coloured mixes. For enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal, we use an acrylic coating, a multi-coat system that includes:

  • An initial base coat made of Portland Cement, liquid acrylic, and fibreglass armature
  • A finish coat of 100% acrylic paste, applied with a hand trowel

Acrylic Parging: Superior Quality and Durability

Acrylic parging offers several benefits over traditional cement mixes:

  1. Enhanced Adhesion: Acrylic coatings bond better to surfaces, reducing the risk of peeling or cracking.
  2. Durability: Acrylic is more resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for Edmonton's climate.
  3. Flexibility: Acrylic coatings can expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and maintaining the surface's integrity.
  4. Water Resistance: Acrylic parging provides excellent water resistance, protecting your property from moisture damage.
  5. Aesthetic Appeal: Available in various colours and textures, acrylic coatings offer a high-quality finish that enhances your property's curb appeal.

Acrylic parging is ideal for Edmonton's harsh weather conditions and common de-icing salts. While acrylic coatings are typically more expensive than cement mixes, their long-term benefits, including cost savings, durability, and aesthetic appeal, far outweigh the initial costs.
