- Painting an Older EIFS Stucco Home: A Step-by-Step Guide
Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), is a popular exterior siding system that provides the structure with insulation, weather resistance, and aesthetic value to buildings. It is also frequently known as Dryvit or synthetic stucco. Here is an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to help you get the best results when painting an EIFS stucco building or home.
Step 1: Determine the Type of EIFS System Used
Identifying the type of synthetic stucco used is the first step in painting External Insulation and Finish System stucco. The drainage system having a liquid moisture barrier, the drainage system using a fabric barrier and mechanical fasteners, and the barrier system are the three different types of EIFS systems.
The earliest and most basic system is the barrier system. It is made up of an insulation board, a base coat, and a finish coat. This technique depends on the stucco's capacity to breathe and does not allow for water drainage.
A more updated technique that allows water to drain through the wall assembly is the drainage system with a fabric barrier and mechanical fasteners. It is made up of an eps foam board, a basecoat with embedded fiberglass mesh, a finish coat, a weather-resistant barrier, and a drainage cavity.
The newest and most efficient technique is a drainage system that uses a liquid moisture barrier. It uses a liquid-applied membrane to create a moisture barrier that significantly improves drainage and water management.
It is crucial to understand the type of EIFS system being painted because an older barrier system will require more airflow than a drainage system. You can choose the best paint and application technique with the help of this information.
