SYNTHETIC
STUCCO |
|
Related to stucco, but different is Synthetic Stucco,
also known as EIFS (Energy Insulating Finishing System). As
the name implies, synthetic stucco is made of different materials,
consisting of a base of an insulating foam, coated with covering layers to get the finish, texture or color
you desire.

The layers of the EIFS can be seen in the picture
on the left. You can see how a plain brick surface is being covered by
foam, STO brand in this case, which is then covered with a plaster-like
coating to which a stabilizing mesh is applied. This is finally
covered with the finish coat, which may be textured and painted for any
look. |

I'm particularly proud of this project, small and simple
though it may be. This shows the versatility of EIFS for many
different uses. A completely new and improved look was created for the
public face of a business. CERTIFIED BY

In the photo at left, Chay is removing the damaged area
of an exterior wall which will be replaced by a long-lasting EIFS finish.
Obviously, this is not one of our original jobs, we just fix 'em! |
|
To repair old, worn EIFS, the entire surface doesn't have to be removed.
We only take away the damaged portion right down to the underlayment.
We take pride in fixing others' less-than-perfect original installations.
|
The new EIFS blends in perfectly with the existing structure for a
beautiful, cost-effective repair.
