        "text": "Cement stucco is a hard, durable, cement-based material applied in multiple layers over a lath, offering high impact resistance. Synthetic stucco, or EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), is an insulated, multi-layered finish that includes a foam insulation board, a base coat with mesh, and a finish coat. EIFS is typically lighter, offers superior insulation, and is more flexible, making it less prone to cracking. However, traditional cement stucco is often considered more breathable and robust against physical damage.",
