The appeal of acrylic stucco as an insulation and finish system has not diminished in the minds of builders and owners – even with the past issues of application failures that lead to water intrusion, mold growth and ultimately catastrophic wall system failures.
The apparent ease of application and creative finish possibilities have maintained Exterior Insulated Finish System (EIFS)’s place in construction cladding techniques. As well the current emphasis on increased insulation values for commercial buildings and EIFS’s ability to accommodate increased rigid insulation widths have added to its appeal.
But the troublesome issue of water getting past the sealed surface layer and behind the insulation to the warm side, where mold can thrive, has persisted.
