Snow and heavy rainfall can cause additional wear, along with extreme temperatures, which can degrade or stress the individual components. Even the UV rays that create electricity slowly damage your panel over time.

Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.
