Stucco E.I.F.S. is the exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) or wall system that insulate from the exterior.
An innovator in the world of residential and commercial exteriors, Stucco E.I.F.S. originally brought EIFS
technology to the U.S. in 1969 and has since worked to continually enhance and elevate the performance and design of EIFS systems.
Let's face it. The exterior facade may be the most important standard by which your home is measured.
Whether you're building a new home or renovating an older one, a Stucco E.I.F.S. system is cost effective to install and is the most thermally efficient wall system available today. The proof is in the 400,000+ commercial and residential buildings throughout the world.
Stucco E.I.F.S. Systems - 84% More Energy Efficient Than Any Other Wall System
Stucco E.I.F.S. walls out-perform all other cladding in independent tests conducted
by ORNL
When tested against brick, glass, stucco, concrete, wood and masonry, Stucco exterior insulation and finish systems (E.I.F.S.) achieved an 84% higher R-value than the next best-performing cladding. The R-Value considers the thermal performance of the entire wall construction (material discontinuities and thermal bridging effects) and effects from transition details (areas such as windows, doors, roof and floor lines). Performance and Value Homeowners seeking energy efficiency, performance and style from their home’s exterior have an all-inclusive option in Stucco E.I.F.S.
The thermal efficiency of a Stucco EIFS system can translate into real home energy savings of anywhere from 20 to 40% annually.
Stucco residential E.I.F.S. systems can be backed by a warranty as long as the standard mortgage (10 years).
Stucco finishes can be colored and textured to accommodate any taste – from the contemporary look of stucco to conventional styles like brick and limestone.
Another expensive winter is ahead for homeowners, and high energy costs are once again to blame. As Americans continue to get savvy about long-term energy efficient options (from hybrid cars to energy-saving lightbulbs), one thing they may have overlooked is their home’s exterior.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) – the nation’s pre-eminent scientific research company has rated Stucco EIFS walls more “thermally efficient” than any other competing wall system. This rating was based on rigorous and independent testing of seven common cladding systems.
