Exterior insulation and finishing system (EIFS)

It is a type of building exterior wall cladding system that provides exterior walls with an insulated finished surface and waterproofing in an integrated composite material system. EIFS with Drainage, another EIFS system, is the predominate method of EIFS applied today.

As the name implies, EIFS with Drainage provides a way for moisture that may accumulate in the wall cavity to evacuate. EIFS are proprietary systems of a particular EIFS manufacturer and consist of specific components.

EIFS are not generic products made from common separate materials.

To function properly, EIFS needs to be architecturally designed and installed as a system.
