Outside material hold up to AZ heat and sun?
9 years ago
I have another weather tolerant question about these building materials. I see the stucco, but what about the siding/shingles. What are these made out of? Is it a composite type material that holds up to heat and sun? Also the pillars coming out of the brick, is that wood or is it stucco over it? I live in Gilbert and planning on building a similar house and wanting to stay clear of stucco/AZ style. Looking more for a farmhouse/traditional style. Love some of the rustic touches on this home- we live out in the farm fields!
