Water-Managed EIFSA water-managed Class PB EIFS system uses a secondary air/weather barrier to provide a cost-effective, added level of protection to the sheathing and cavity against moisture and air intrusion. It offers design flexibility, aesthetic appeal and energy savings. Integrated system components include reinforced air/weather resistive barrier, adhesive, EPS insulation board, reinforced base coat and 100% acrylic polymer finish. Apply the system directly to acceptable sheathings: PermaBase brand cement board (or other ASTM C1325 Type A Exterior approved cement boards), poured concrete/unit masonry, Fiberock AquaTough Sheathing, Dens-Glass Gold sheathing (ASTM c1177) gypsum sheathing (AST C79/C1396), Exposure 1 or exterior plywood sheathing (Grade C-D or better), Exposure 1 OSB. Wall systems have passed rigorous tests including: |
• Full-Scale Fire • Wind-Load • Wind-Driven Rain and Large and Small Missiles. Finishes are available in a limitless color selection and offer performance enhancement options, including increased resistance to dirt pick-up and mildew. [back to top] |

Traditional Stucco |
|
|
Stucco, or portland cement plaster, is a versatile facing material that can be applied to flat or curved surfaces either inside or outside any building or structure. Stucco has great appeal as a surface finish because of its utility, low first cost and minimum need for maintenance. In its hardened state, plaster is a desirable facing material: hard, strong, fire-resistant and color-retentive. Because plaster is able to transmit moisture vapor, water that gets behind it does not become trapped. This makes it resistant to rot and fungus. Plaster has proved to be a durable wall cover in all climates, whether wet, dry, hot, or cold. The final appearance of the finish coat can be varied by changing the size and shape of the aggregate, using colored cement, adding pigments, changing the consistency of the finish mix, the method or equipment used for plastering and the plasterer's skill in manipulating the finish coat.

Manufactured Stone
Manufactured Stone is a decorative building material manufactured to replicate the look of natural stone. It is fabricated by pouring a lightweight concrete mix to rubber forms of different style and then painted with a coloring process which makes it resemble real stone. The stone veneer produced is then attached to walls with special mortars.
The advantages of manufactured stone veneer over natural stone are:
- Cost (cost of material, cost of application, waste cost)
- Weight (ease and cost of application)
- Variety of designs and colours
Manufactured veneer is cheaper than natural stone, approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of natural stone. Its light weight eliminates the need for wall ties or footings and make it easier and cheaper to build. Furthermore, manufactured stone has a significantly smaller waste factor than natural stone. The variety of designs and colours makes available options which would not be available with natural stone, since natural stone is used in the general area around the locality which it is extracted.
