Services
Exterior Stucco
Merlex offers premium portland cement-based exterior stucco finishes designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. Available in 30 standard colors and customizable options, our products resist weathering, termites, and fading. Textures range from sand finish to knockdowns, ensuring compatibility with diverse architectural styles. Properly applied, our stucco provides low-maintenance, long-lasting protection for residential and commercial buildings.
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions include products like Super Blockade and Hydro Plug, designed to prevent water infiltration in stucco systems. These products create a durable barrier against moisture while maintaining breathability, reducing the risk of mold and structural damage. Ideal for use in high-humidity environments or areas prone to water exposure, ensuring compliance with building codes and longevity of structures.
Bonding Agents
Merlex provides high-performance bonding agents like Acrylex and Superhold to enhance adhesion between stucco layers and substrates. These products ensure strong mechanical bonds, reduce cracking, and improve the longevity of stucco applications. Suitable for both new construction and renovation projects, they support seamless integration of stucco with various surfaces, including EPS foam and concrete.
Color Matching
Our advanced color laboratory offers precise color matching for stucco finishes, ensuring consistency across projects. Clients can choose from 30 standard colors or request custom shades to meet specific design requirements. This service guarantees that architectural visions are realized with accurate, long-lasting coloration, enhancing the visual appeal of buildings without the need for painting.

Merlex delivers expert technical support for stucco application, troubleshooting, and system selection.
