Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a type of insulation used to protect the exterior of a building from the elements. It is composed of a base layer of insulation board, a reinforcing mesh, and a protective finish coat. The insulation board is typically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS). The reinforcing mesh is typically made of fiberglass or polyester. The protective finish coat is typically made of acrylic or silicone-based elastomeric coatings. EIFS is used to improve the energy efficiency of a building, reduce air infiltration, and protect the building from water damage. It is also used to improve the aesthetic appearance of a building, as the finish coat can be applied in a variety of colors and textures. EIFS is a popular choice for commercial and residential buildings, as it is relatively easy to install and maintain. It is also cost-effective, as it can reduce energy costs and extend the life of a building. Some companies in the EIFS market include Sto Corp, Dryvit Systems, Parex USA, and Senergy.
