A library in Itasca, Ill., was afflicted with leaky windows. The library was only about 10 years old. It was an award-winner too—for design. It was clad with DAFS—Direct Applied Finish System. As you probably know, this system is similar to EIFS—Exterior Insulated Finish System—except it doesn’t hav...
