A Exterior Insulated Foam System {EIFS) is a stucco system consisting of eps board (foam), base-coat, mesh, and usually an acrylic finish coat that has color and texture included in it. EIFS is a lightweight system that adds an insulation value to the structure. Typically, the trim on all stucco systems are created out of EIFS.
On a EIFS system we install:
- Waterproofing
- EPS board to the substrate with base-coat
- Fiberglass reinforced mesh embedded in base-coat over the entire cement board
- A colored and textured finish.
