History of EIFS

EIFS hit the U.S. market in the late 1960’s as an alternative to traditional stucco. For several decades commercial properties primarily installed EIFS. However, over time EIFS became an option for residential exteriors.

Due to poorly trained service providers and improper installation, EIFS gained a reputation for moisture damage. This often resulted in thousands of dollars in repairs. Some states even banned EIFS for residential use.

The International Building Code or the “IBC” updated the installation requirements resulting in a drainage synthetic stucco system. This new approach addresses the past installation issues.

Updated code requirements include:

• Apply 2-ply waterproofing paper, Tyvek, window tape, or liquid vapor barrier
• Install all correct flashings, water diverters, and end dams
• Mechanically fasten EPS foam to substrate
• Maintain proper specified grade roof, deck, and slab clearances
• Caulk to seal entire system

With proper installation from our highly trained technicians, drainage EIFS produces beautiful exteriors with the look of traditional stucco. At V.A.M.P. Stucco, we have the skill, training, and tools to properly install drainage EIFS for both commercial and residential properties.

Benefits of Drainage EIFS

Drainage EIFS offers many benefits for property owners. Like traditional stucco, drainage EIFS creates a luxurious and durable exterior. Drainage EIFS includes versatile design options with a variety of colors and textures to match your preferred style.

While we normally recommend traditional stucco for new stucco installation, Drainage EIFS works well with retrofit projects, like stucco over brick or stucco over siding.
