EIFS Installation
Though our primary focus is on repair, retro-fit, and re-imaging of existing EIFS systems, we have also expanded our capabilities to include new EIFS installation projects.
In the past, many architects and installers viewed EIFS as a barrier system, meaning they were not designed to allow water to enter. This led to failure in many systems. Today, the industry acknowledges that moisture will inevitably enter an EIFS wall, and most manufacturers have installation details that allow the evacuation of water from behind the system. Our understanding of this subsurface detailing makes us the best choice when the project includes complex detailing or critical transitions.
Other reasons for installing EIFS consist of:
- Increasing insulation value
- Over-cladding leaking veneer systems
- Updating the image of the existing façade
- Lightweight alternative to failing facacdes
- Infills or enclosures for openings
