Exterior Insulation Finishing System or EIFS is an exterior wall cladding system that provides the exterior of buildings with insulation, finishing and waterproofing. EIFS is sometimes referred to as synthetic stucco however it is not stucco in the traditional sense as stucco consists of three elements; an aggregate, a binder and water whereas EIFS is a synthetic wall cladding that includes plastic insulation, foam and a synthetic coating. Typically EIFS is applied to the exterior of a building via an adhesive agent attached to gypsum board.

EIFS is valued due to it’s light weight and insulating properties as well as it’s attractiveness as an exterior finish for modern homes and businesses.
