Cement Mix Stucco
When stucco was originally introduced, it was in a cement-based form. It is mixed much like cement with Portland Cement, sand and water. This type of stucco is very durable and can hold up to pretty harsh environments. While it is porous, this type of stucco dries quickly without any water damage.

Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems
EIFS wasn’t introduced until the 1950s and is a synthetic type of stucco. While it is often confused with the original cement based stucco, EIFS is not cement-based at all. This consists mainly of a foam insulated board covered with a special finish that resembles stucco.
