What is EIFS Stucco and How It's SUPPOSED to Work

Contrary to popular belief, stucco isn't there just to look good. I demonstrate the most important feature of an EIFS stucco system, and that is NO mechanical fastener's. The exterior finish has the ability to let water in but most importantly to let it back out. When done properly this stucco system will extend the life of your building and keep the building envelope properly intact for many many years. It also adds R-value and at the end it still looks fantastic, just don't forget...it also has to function.

“Up To Kod” Love it! Good video. Thanks

[@gloomhaus2794]

This video taught me efis is what happens when you share your water bottle with the side of a building but it isn’t thirsty

[@graybrewster]

A video on how to retrofit a vent through EIFS would be greatly appreciated.

[@elguapo221]

If the roofers did thier job properly and installed kickers the right way building wrap does fine. Always check the kickers are in place

[@richardbrownjr2815]

My neighbor recently redid the exterior of their home. I asked him what it's called and he said, "EIF." Of course, I didn't know what that is, ❓so I searched online and that brought me here; thanks for the information.

[@ITIODRYWALL]

Great video as you show the water running behind the eps...congrats.. (the problem é over)

[@khandam7709]

just got a quote 1/11/2022 for Sto system

[@deankay4434]

In the 90's, using a notched trowel, our polymer cement was applied vertical to allow any moisture to run out the bottom. Times change, methods, products change.

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Great content 👍. Thanks.

[@barrym266]

Hello, I'm doing much research on Stucco for new house build this year. I like this video, but where is the next one showing the steps to this point, and after this stage?

[@4545neverever]

WHAT EIFS??? Didn’t got the answer. Just point it out

[@marthanunez6564]

You my man know your shit. Eifs is good system well done good shit heavy mesh for home is well recommended

[@mjboux6559]

Yes it's a good system..I've done the sto system since it came to canada from Germany via Atlanta...we also do the pucks system behind the eifs foam which is the best drainage plane yet .......regardless every good ... system out there now is geared to drain quality in stucco since 1904 in western Canada and the usa

[@ChrisB-ih1ci]

There is definitely more than one company that offers a troweled on air barrier with glued on styrofoam. Dryvit/adex/parex/synergy.... I’d be interested in seeing the final product.

[@lisalewis6674]

Where can I find all this stuff I have been looking online and I can’t find what your using

[@ramba9816]

All I ever see is the cold crack it apart in a few years and one hail storm beat craters so deep you can almost see what the foam is attached to.

[@jaandel1]

Great video I like the way you explained... about this system it work in areas like Florida where earthquake or storm hit your house it will keep the foam stick to the walls?? Any advise

[@slowmobullys5235]

Hi is this video of plastering in Canada. I'm very interested in plastering technologies. I'm from the UK and want to immigrate to Canada just wondering if the products are similar or totally different.

[@santiago321lat]

great explanation of the system. doesn't the drainage layer defeat the purpose of the insulation? Isn't it like water cooling the face of the waterproofing layer?

[@obitouchiha879]
