What is EIFS?

EIFS, or Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, is a multi-layered exterior wall system that provides continuous insulation and water resistance in a beautiful, durable finish. It’s distinct from traditional stucco, though it offers a similar aesthetic. The typical layers of an EIFS system include:

1. Adhesive: Bonds the insulation board to the substrate.
2. Insulation Board: Typically expanded polystyrene (EPS) or mineral wool, providing exceptional thermal performance.
3. Base Coat: A layer of cementitious material reinforced with a fiberglass mesh, providing strength and impact resistance.
4. Finish Coat: A textured, durable finish that is weather-resistant and available in a wide range of colors and textures.

Benefits of Choosing EIFS for Your Edmonton Property:

EIFS offers significant advantages, making it a popular choice for modern construction and renovations:

• Superior Energy Efficiency: Continuous insulation drastically reduces heating and cooling costs by minimizing thermal bridging.
• Design Versatility: Available in virtually unlimited colours, textures, and architectural shapes, allowing for creative freedom.
• Durability & Resilience: Resistant to fading, chalking, and dirt pick-up, maintaining its appearance for years.
• Moisture Management: Modern EIFS systems are designed with effective drainage to prevent water penetration.
• Lightweight: Less structural load on the building compared to traditional masonry.
• Noise Reduction: The insulation layer also contributes to sound dampening.
