For those of you who may feel unsure what EIFS Cladding is or consist of:

Per EIMA (EIFS Industry Member Association), governing body of EIFS Contractors/Manufacturers, and according to the definitions contained in the International Building Code and ASTM International, an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a non-load bearing, exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached either adhesively or mechanically, or both, to the substrate;

EIFS typically consist of the following components:

• A water-resistive barrier (WRB) that covers the substrate.

• The drainage plane between the WRB and the insulation board and is most commonly achieved with vertical ribbons of adhesive applied over the WRB.

• Insulation board typically made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), but can also be XPS or polyisocyanurate.

• An insulation board is attached with an adhesive or mechanically to the substrate.

• Glass-fiber reinforcing mesh embedded in the base coat.

• A water-resistant base coat 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.
