Drainage over windows with hardcoat stucco

1

Hello,

I have a client who has a very large set of windows and I have concerns about how moisture will be able to exit if trapped behind the stucco over these windows. The property has the proper weep screeds at the bottom of the exterior walls but nothing over these large windows and nothing between the different floors. Just looking for some clarification and hopefully to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks

You can start with these:

ASTM C926

Portland Cement Stucco Standards

No weep screed above openings woul[quote=“Tripp Walker, post:1, topic:231147, full:true, username:twalker12”]
