What is EIFS?
EIFS stands for Exterior
Insulation and Finish Systems. The product is also called synthetic stucco, and
refers to a multi-layered exterior finish that's been used in European
construction since shortly after World War II, when contractors found it to be
a good repair choice for buildings damaged during the War. The majority of
repairs to European buildings were to structures constructed of stone,
concrete, brick, or other similar, durable materials.
EIFS in North America
North American builders
began using EIFS in the 1980's, first in commercial buildings, then applying it
as an exterior finish to residences -- mostly wood frame houses -- using the
same techniques that had been successful in Europe.
There are three layers to EIFS
· Inner Layer Foam insulation board that's secured to the exterior wall
surface, often with adhesive.
· Middle Layer A polymer and cement base coat that's applied to the top of
the insulation, then reinforced with glass fiber mesh.
· Exterior Layer A textured finish coat.
