From retrofits to new projects or a combination of both, EIFS offers a versatile  and durable alternative to traditional exterior wall finishes.

​

EIFS creates a unique balance between durability, strength and design while meeting or exceeding all building requirements made of expanded polystyrene the installation layer is environmentally safe, thermally efficient and easy to size and shape. It is one of the most energy-efficient wall systems available.

​

- Your choice of colors and textures

- Greater protection against inclement weather

- Greater flexibility of design

-A waster-resistive barrier (WRB) that covers the substrate

-A drainage plane between the wrb and the insulation board that is most commonly achieved with vertical ribbons of adhesive applied over wrb

-Insulation board typically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) which is secured with an adhesive or mechanically to the subsrate

-Glass-fiber reinforcing mesh embedded in the basecoat

-A water-resistant basecoat that is applied on top  of the insulation to serve as a weather barrier

-A finish coat that typically uses colorfast and crack-resistant acrylic co-polymer technology
