EIFS Stucco
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems

---

Eurotech is an expert in the installation of EIFS stucco. EIFS stands for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems and refers to a multi-layered exterior finish. EIFS provide superior energy efficiency and offer much greater design flexibility than other cladding products. Problems, such as water vapor retention can manifest if the EIFS system is installed by inexperienced contractors. Proper installation of EIFS must allow the system to "breathe" so that water vapor can escape and not get trapped behind the substrate.  EIFS is also known as synthetic stucco. This finish has been used in Europe since the end of World War II. Contractors found it to be a good repair choice for buildings damaged during the war. The majority of repairs to European buildings were to structures constructed of stone, concrete, brick, or other similar, durable materials.

Eurotech is a certified applicator and authorized distributor by Decoplast.
