There has been a revolution of sorts in the construction industry in recent years: External Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS). The growing popularity of EIFS is due to the fact that few materials have such a wide range of benefits. Chief among these are superior energy efficiency and virtually unlimited design flexibility.

Dartex Contracting Ltd. is a leading Canadian construction contracting firm that specializes in the installation of Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS), also known as exterior stucco.

For many building owners, restoration has proven to be more cost effective than demolition. Exterior Insulation Finish Systems give new life and style to tired, old buildings. EIFS now plays a critical role in renovation strategies.

Architects are increasingly choosing Exterior Insulation Finish Systems for their cost efficiency, simplicity, beauty and value.

The rich appearance of EIFS bears a resemblance to stucco or stone, but the system is far more versatile than the materials it emulates. Not only does EIFS come in a wide variety of colors and textures, but it can also be fashioned into virtually any shape or design.

With EIFS, a professional application can create all sorts of exterior architectural detailing that would often be cost-prohibitive using conventional construction — cornices, arches, columns, keystones, cornerstones, special mouldings and decorative accents are but a few examples.

Most of this detailing is computer-generated. The designs are precision-cut out of insulation board, attached to the substrate or wall, then covered with the EIFS base coat, mesh and finish coat.

Using this ingenious process, EIFS applicators can give a striking, distinctive appearance to any building or residence.
