What does EIFS stand for?
EIFS stands for: Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems. A basic EIFS system consists of 4 components:
1. Polystyrene foam insulation board.
2. Glass fiber reinforcing mesh.
3. Weather barrier composed of durable, water-resistant base coat applied to the insulation.
4. Acrylic co-polymer technology, colorfast and crack resistant finish coat.
EIFS stucco systems provide superior energy efficiency and offer much greater design, flexibility that other cladding products.
This systems improve insulation performance, reducing the heating and cooling loads in the house and improving efficiency.
Stucco can give a home, if you will, an inexpensive face lift, allowing the beauty trapped beneath to come forward. It can make an older home look fresh and new, while adding value to the property for its lifetime.
The wide range of finish textures and accents makes stucco very popular and one of the most versatile wall coverings available. In recent years, the demand for stucco has increased as a surface finish because of its utility, longevity and the minimum need for maintenance.
