The term “monolithic EIFS” is now used to describe an old-fashioned EIFS system without the incorporation of a drainage plane.

True or false: EIFS cladding can be finished to look like metal panels.

True or false: Barrier EIFS creates the most effective moisture management wall system.

According to a D+D article in 2015, establishing a drainage plane was the most significant solution, adopted in the 1990s, to moisture intrusion problems with EIFS cladding.

True or false: The acronym “EIFS” stands for Engineered Insulation and Finishing Systems.

Which coating type is used on EIFS?

According to a recent D+D feature, one advantage of using EIFS materials as prefabricated panels is the lower weight of the cladding.

True or false: Barrier EIF systems are equivalent to moisture-managed EIF systems.

What organization has studied, and reported on, the energy and moisture effects of EIFS?

True or false: Substrates low in tensile strength, such as EIFS, require low-modulus sealants.
