Commercial Elastomeric Coating in Stuart
Downtown Stuart's historic masonry, like the 1913 Feroe Building, requires breathable systems, not synthetic elastomerics that trap moisture. Riverfront properties face chloride-driven damage, while US-1 commercial buildings often suffer from post-2004 hurricane adhesion issues.

What Is Commercial Elastomeric Coating?
Commercial elastomeric coating protects facades from moisture and UV. In Stuart, the correct system depends on the substrate. Historic Flagler/Osceola masonry requires breathable systems to prevent trapped moisture damage. Modern US-1 and Ocean Blvd buildings often face UV/thermal fatigue and post-2004 hurricane adhesion issues, requiring proper assessment before re-coating to ensure building integrity and prevent unnecessary further damage.

Penetrating silane and siloxane sealers
For commercial masonry and concrete surfaces where a film-forming coating is not appropriate
Why Act Now: The Case for Stuart Building Owners
Costs significantly less than full facade remediation driven by moisture damage from an incompatible coating system on historic masonry the most expensive outcome in Stuart's commercial market is correcting synthetic elastomeric damage on a pre-war Flagler Avenue building
On St. Lucie River-facing and Indian River Lagoon-adjacent commercial facades in downtown Stuart, tidal salt-air chloride penetration through a degraded coating film accelerates substrate damage at a rate that inland US-1 properties do not experience
Post-hurricane emergency coatings from 2004 applied across Stuart's commercial corridors are now 20+ years old; where those applications were made over storm-damaged substrate without correct assessment, the current failure mode is adhesion failure over an unresolved substrate issue
For qualifying commercial buildings near the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon within 3 miles of coastal tidal waters, Florida's milestone inspection statute triggers at 25 years; Stuart's downtown office buildings from the 1980s and 1990s are inside that window
Completed with phased access that keeps the building operational and minimises disruption to the downtown restaurants, galleries, and professional offices that give Stuart's commercial core its character

Frequently Asked
Stuart Elastomeric Coating FAQ
The questions Stuart owners ask most. Tap any to expand.
Downtown Stuart's main streets were originally built in the 1880s and 1890s on original concrete block, rough-faced masonry vernacular, and early Portland cement assemblies. Standard acrylic elastomeric coatings form a low-permeability film that prevents moisture vapour from escaping through the wall. In Stuart's humid riverfront environment, that trapped moisture cannot escape through the coating surface and is driven back into the original masonry, causing efflorescence, spalling, and progressive deterioration of the historic fabric from within. The correct system is a breathable mineral coating that allows moisture vapour movement while providing surface protection. As Certified Jahn Applicators, Anthony Pennacchi and Son's is qualified to specify, apply, and document these systems for Stuart's historic downtown commercial buildings.
