EIFS Inspection Add-on

To perform an EIFS inspection, an inspector is required to be properly trained and ceritified by a recognized association (i.e. AWCI) as a Ceritifed EIFS Inspector.

EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish System) is an exterior wall cladding that utilizes rigid insulation, most commonly EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) over exterior sheathing.

Types:

'Barrier EIFS' consists of EPS attached adhesively/mechanically over the sheathing substrate and covered with a lamina composed of a polymer modified base coat with glass fiber reinforcement mesh and a texture acrylic finish.

'EIFS w/Drainage' consists of EPS attached mechanically over the sheathing substrate inclusive of a air/weather resistant barrier sheet, or adhesively over a fluid applied air/weather resistant barrier, and then covered with a lamina composed of a polymer modified base coat with glass fiber reinforcement mesh and a texture acrylic finish.
