Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS)

EIFS: is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system.

Architectural Mouldings:

EIFS cladding provides great aesthetic advantages in terms of flexibility in colour, shape and texture. EIFS-clad buildings allow the display of watertables, keystones, quoins, arches, and cornices, creating façade depth and facilitating the intended architectural design. EIFS trim and mouldings (i.e., decorative profiles, shapes, and mouldings) are influenced by exposure, safety and/or structural considerations.

Traditional Stucco/Direct Application (TASF)

A basic stucco assembly over concrete or CMU, applied directly over approved water-resistive barrier and metal lath with finish.
