Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS)

Standard EIFS is classic EIF system. This system offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. Typically utilizes adhesive attachment of EPS foam. The system can also be upgraded to use heavier weights of mesh to allow for superior impact resistance. Range of finish and color options provide for nearly unlimited design creativity.

Optimum EIFS is premium classic EIF system. Like Standard EIFS, this system also offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. Optimum EIFS features a premium base coat and adhesive and a premium finish. The use of these two components allows Parex to back this system with an improved warranty and ensure that your building maintains its aesthetic appeal for a longer duration.

Standard Extra EIFS is classic EIF system with a liquid water-resistive barrier and air barrier. Like Standard EIFS this system offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. Additionally, this system employs an extra layer of moisture protection and energy savings by using a Parex water-resistive barrier and air barrier. Installation time is saved by using the Parex water-resistive barrier as adhesive attachment for EPS foam. The system can also be upgraded to use heavier weights of mesh to allow for superior impact resistance. Range of finish and color options provide for nearly unlimited design creativity.

Standard WaterMaster LCR is our base drainage EIF system. Like Standard EIFS, this system offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. The EPS Foam is mechanically attached. Along with these features Standard WaterMaster LCR includes the use of a water-resistive barrier and drainage for incidental moisture. These two features deliver an improved level of moisture protection over classic EIF systems. This is achieved through the use of stucco wrap water resistive barriers which provides both drainage and acts as a water-resistive barrier and is mechanically attached.

Optimum WaterMaster LCR is our premium base drainage EIF system. Like Standard WaterMaster EIFS, this system offers the base level of benefits found in a classic EIF system and the superior moisture protection found in a base drainage system. However, Optimum WaterMaster LCR EIFS makes use of a premium base coat & adhesive as well as premium finish. The use of these two components allows Parex to back this system with an improved warranty and ensure that your building maintains its aesthetic appeal for a longer duration.

Standard WaterMaster is our premium drainage EIF system. Like Standard EIFS, this system also offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. Like Standard WaterMaster LCR this system provides water-resistive barrier and means of drainage. This system is superior in that the water-resistive barrier is liquid applied which means less chance of rips and tears. This liquid applied water-resistive barrier also acts as an air barrier allowing for climate control systems to operate more efficiently. Means of drainage is achieved through vertical ribbons of adhesive providing a larger drainage plane for incidental moisture.

Optimum WaterMaster is our elite EIF system. Like the Standard WaterMaster, Optimum WaterMaster has all the benefits of the base level EIF system and premium drainage system. However, Optimum WaterMaster EIFS makes use of a premium base coat & adhesive as well as premium finish. The use of these two components allows Parex to back this system with an improved warranty and ensure that your building maintains its aesthetic appeal for a longer duration.
