How is EIFS Different from Stucco?
Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) provides a unique layer under the stucco. The layer creates an insulated barrier that protects against moisture and is energy efficient. Basically, the substrate is layered with a water-resistant barrier. Adhesive or fasteners connect the barrier to the insulation board and create a drainage plane between the layers. Varying types of mesh can then be used to fasten it to the insulation board, and then stucco is applied.
EIFS claddings are well-researched in the construction industry. They demonstrate impressive performance in moisture and thermal control compared to other materials, such as brick and siding.
