1. How do I know if my home is finished with a true EIFS?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To find out if your house is finished with a proper EIFS, you can try to carefully tap on it as you would a door.  If it sounds hollow, it is probably an EIFS.  If the sound is more solid in nature, it is likely a plaster stucco product.  In the case that you feel the wall has a very coarse texture, this would be another indicator that a stucco product has been applied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is important to note, however, that EIFS coatings can also be applied without insulation directly onto hard sheathing boards, like cement boards.  Rapping on this type of application will also produce a solid sound, similar to stucco.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
