Answer:
Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (“EIFS”) are a type of building product that provides exterior walls with a finished surface, insulation and waterproofing in an integrated composite system. EIFS is also known as “synthetic stucco” and “Senergy”, “Finestone”, “Dryvit” or “Sto” – popular EIFS brands.
EIFS is very cost effective and is being used with increasing frequency in malls, restaurants, hotels and retail stores.
