If you notice small cracks in your stucco, you might wonder if Rhino Shield can be the solution. The good news is that Rhino Shield is designed to naturally fill in stucco cracks that are 1/16 inch or smaller. This is achieved through a two-step process that not only improves the appearance of your stucco but also protects it from future damage.
How Rhino Shield Fills Small Cracks
The application process of Rhino Shield begins with an adhesive primer. This primer is crucial because it helps the Rhino Shield system bond strongly to your stucco surface. The primer penetrates small cracks, filling them and creating a solid base for the next step.
Then, the ceramic finish coat is applied. This coat gives Rhino Shield its durability and protection. The ceramic finish further fills in the cracks and provides a smooth, even surface. Together, these two steps effectively cover small cracks in your stucco, making them less noticeable and preventing them from worsening.
What About Larger Cracks?
Rhino Shield crews are skilled at applying the coating system and will make their best effort to match the existing texture of your stucco. However, it’s important to note that some patchwork may still be visible, especially if the texture of your current stucco is unique or highly detailed.
For the best results, it’s recommended to address any large areas of existing stucco issues before applying Rhino Shield. If your stucco has significant damage or extensive cracking, it might be wise to have a stucco professional repair these areas first. This ensures that the Rhino Shield system can be applied to a stable and well-prepared surface, giving you the best possible outcome.
Benefits of Using Rhino Shield
Beyond filling cracks, Rhino Shield offers several benefits. Here are some reasons why Rhino Shield is an excellent choice for your stucco:
- Durability: The Rhino Shield system is designed to last, providing long-term protection for your stucco. The ceramic finish is tough and can withstand harsh weather conditions, including intense sun and heavy rain.

- Reduced Maintenance: Rhino Shield’s protective properties mean you’ll spend less time worrying about future cracks or damage. This low-maintenance solution keeps your stucco looking great with minimal effort.
Key Takeaways

Once applied, the adhesive primer and ceramic finish work together to reduce future cracking and enhance the durability of your stucco. While some patchwork may be visible, the overall benefits of using Rhino Shield make it a smart investment for maintaining and improving your home’s exterior. Contact us today for a free estimate.
