How to replace Vents in stucco with louver vents
Hello folks. In this video I show you a recent project. We were hired to replace the existing old rusted vents with new louver vents to protect the basement area of this home. Upon removing the vents and stucco we discovered a couple of things that made this job a little more challenging than anticipated. The paper around these vents was very deteriorated, and they had a sheet rock material behind their stucco system, so we were forced to shim out the vents in order to make them true and plumb.
Waterproofing a project like this is difficult. There was very little paper for us to salvage, but we did as best as possible. You must then use a strong polyurethane caulking to seal up the area as well as to fuse the paper to the vents. Once the lath is complete we applied our stucco to the areas using accelerators and then floated them to match the texture.
