Exterior Insulation Finish System

EIFS is an exterior wall cladding that utilizes rigid insulation board (expanded polystyrene) which is attached adhesively or mechanically to the sheathing, CMU or other substrates. The insulation is covered with a lamina composed of a modified cement basecoat with woven glass fiber reinforcement and a textured colored finish coat.

With EIFS our skilled applicators can create all types of architectural detailing (cornices, keystones, arches, columns decorative accents) that would normally be cost-prohibitive using conventional construction materials. These computer generated designs are precision cut out of insulation board attached to the substrate or wall and the covered with the EIFS basecoat mesh and finish coat. Using this clever process EWI can give a striking, distinctive appearance to any building or residence.

The popularity of the EIFS is due to its superior energy efficiency and the unlimited design flexibility. EWI has installed millions of square feet and is one of the best EIFS applicators in the USA.
