EIFS is an exterior cladding system that provides superior insulation compared to traditional siding materials. It typically consists of a foam board or foam panel base layer with acrylic-based finish coats applied over it. The main benefits of using this type of siding are:
* Increased energy efficiency – because the material helps to keep heat out in summer and retain warmth during winter months;
* Low maintenance requirements – due to its durability, flexibility and water resistance qualities; and
* Enhanced aesthetic appeal – because of its wide range of colors, textures, shapes and sizes available for customization.
When selecting EIFS as your home's exterior cladding system, you will need to make sure you have a reliable contractor who can properly install the product. This includes having experience working with brick and stone siding, wood and board siding replacement jobs, as well as cleaning any existing siding before installation begins. Additionally, they should be familiar with local building codes related to these types of projects so that they can ensure compliance while also guaranteeing quality results.
Once you've settled on the perfect brick or stone siding style for your home, it's time to start thinking about installation. Do-it-yourselfers may want to try tackling a project like this themselves, but professional installers are highly recommended in order to ensure an optimal outcome. Installing brick and stone siding requires plenty of planning, as well as precise measurements and cutting so that everything lines up correctly - any mistakes can be costly if they're not caught early on.
Every job is different, but some common steps typically include removing existing siding (if necessary), measuring and marking out locations for windows and doors, attaching furring strips to the wall surface, laying down tar paper or house wrap before installing insulation boards, securing the new siding panels with nails or screws, and finally adding caulk around joints and gaps between pieces. With all these steps taken care of by experienced professionals, you'll have peace of mind knowing your beautiful new exterior will stand the test of time.
At Fort Myers Stucco, we specialize in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS). This type of stucco system provides superior insulation from the elements. It is made up of a water-resistant synthetic wall covering that has foam insulation board beneath it. This combination results in an energy efficient barrier against moisture, wind, heat, cold, and other weather conditions. The finish layer gives the exterior walls a beautiful appearance while providing further protection to your home or building. EIFS also requires less maintenance than traditional stucco systems. So you can enjoy lasting beauty without having to worry about frequent repairs.
The advantages of using EIFS are numerous: increased energy efficiency; improved durability; reduced maintenance costs; attractive finish options; and ease of installation over other types of siding materials like wood or vinyl.
