The client was getting water leak from the back elevation walls to the basement
The house was quite cold in winter because of poor insulation which allowed heat to escape and allowed cold air to penetrate through the exterior walls
The old bricks did not provide much of a curb appeal
In Toronto's cold winter months, the homeowner was having issues with the cold air leak coming from the bricked exterior walls. The insulation certainly helps with this common problem. The R-value you achieve with installing 2 inch think PUCCS system is 7.4 in total, which is a great number.
Yes. EIFS can significantly improve a home's thermal performance during the winter. We typically use 2-inch-thick insulation, which provides approximately R-7.4 of continuous insulation. This helps reduce heat loss through exterior walls, making the home more comfortable and potentially lowering heating costs.
Modern EIFS is designed as a drainage-based exterior wall system that helps manage moisture when properly installed. We use the appropriate flashing, drainage, insulation, mesh, base coat, and finish components to help protect the wall assembly from water intrusion.
A properly installed and maintained EIFS system can last for decades. Its lifespan depends on the quality of the installation, materials used, exposure to weather, and regular maintenance. Keeping the finish clean and addressing cracks, damaged areas, and sealant joints early can help extend the life of the system.
