Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS)
EEWS successfully pioneered manufacturing and installing this lightweight economical system in the early 1970s. EIFS provides creative flexibility for architects and designers while being the lowest cost, most thermally efficient system available in the market. Finishes from multiple manufacturers are available in a wide array of colors and textures such as Limestone, granite, and stenciled brick.
FAQ
What is EIFS?
What is EIFS?
Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a lightweight, energy-efficient cladding system that provides continuous insulation and a durable, decorative finish. It’s widely used in modern construction for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
How does EIFS improve energy efficiency?
How does EIFS improve energy efficiency?
EIFS offers continuous insulation, reducing thermal bridging and enhancing the building’s thermal performance. This leads to lower energy consumption and helps meet stringent energy codes.
What are the benefits of prefabricated EIFS panels?
What are the benefits of prefabricated EIFS panels?
Prefabricated EIFS panels are constructed off-site on light-gauge metal frames, allowing for up to 80% faster installation compared to traditional methods. They also ensure better quality control and reduce on-site labor.
What makes EEWS's EIFS services stand out?
What makes EEWS's EIFS services stand out?
EEWS has over 50 years of experience in manufacturing wall panel systems. Their in-house team utilizes advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to ensure precision and efficiency in every project.
How does EEWS ensure quality control in EIFS fabrication?
How does EEWS ensure quality control in EIFS fabrication?
By fabricating EIFS panels in a climate-controlled facility, EEWS eliminates weather-related unpredictability, ensuring consistent quality and durability of the panels.
Maximizing The benefits Of Prefabrication
Design Assist
Our collaborative process unites one experienced team from design through installation. In-house Revit-certified designers ensure every detail is carefully planned and executed. Early alignment on goals and continuous design and budget feedback keep projects on track. This streamlined approach eliminates inefficiencies and delivers reliable, high-quality results.
Safer Job Site
Our panelized enclosure system reduces on-site labor and shortens the project timeline, cutting labor costs. Pre-engineered and assembled off-site, it eliminates material storage, site congestion, and waste. Fewer trades are needed on-site, creating a cleaner, safer work environment. This streamlined process also lowers the risk of accidents and boosts site efficiency.
Quality Assurance
Our panelized systems provide superior thermal, moisture, and air performance through a continuous, high-quality enclosure. Assembled in a controlled facility, components like AVB, windows, and louvers are installed with precision. A single expert team handles multiple trades, reducing gaps and delays. This process also simplifies inspections and ensures consistent quality.
Building Enclosure Speed
Prefabricated panel systems greatly speed up the building enclosure process. Off-site fabrication in a controlled environment allows for faster dry-in and earlier interior work. This reduces weather delays and shortens the overall schedule. It’s an ideal solution for projects with tight timelines or phased occupancy.
Coordinated Engineered Interfaces Solutions
Our system features fully coordinated, engineered interfaces for seamless integration of all enclosure components. Key details are resolved during design and fabrication, avoiding on-site conflicts. This approach minimizes field adjustments and ensures consistent quality. The result is a unified, high-performing building envelope from day one.
Logistics
Prefabricated enclosure systems streamline logistics by reducing the volume of material delivered to and stored on-site. With just-in-time delivery and panels arriving in sequence, site congestion, waste, and handling are minimized. This controlled flow of materials supports cleaner, safer job sites and simplifies coordination among trades. The result is a more efficient, organized construction process that aligns with modern lean building practices.
Thermal Performance
When design allows, increasing opaque wall areas with prefabricated systems can greatly improve thermal performance. Fewer unitized joints enhance energy efficiency and air-tightness. These systems also offer broad cladding flexibility, giving architects more design freedom. In this case, the prefabricated enclosure is over four times more energy efficient than a traditional glass curtain wall.
