When looking for exterior walls, many people look towards EIFS for their solution. It has become a popular choice in new buildings and even boasts of its superior insulation value. However, its benefits aren’t without their issues. Oftentimes, many problematic issues such as the high cost, long installation time, water damage, pest control, and mold can negate all the benefits that EIFS tend to offer. This is why there has been high demand in the market to look towards EIFS Alternatives. Alternatives such as Stucco Clad, help prevent the common issues of EIFS. This is why you should consider this panelized EIFS Alternative.
What exactly is Stucco Clad?
Stucco Clad is a panelized EIFS Alternative that is created on a synthetic high-density panel board. It is then designed through a CNC computer that routers various patterns into the board. Afterwards, it is primed and painted with standard industry texture and non-textured finishes. With simple interlocking panels, Stucco Clad can easily be installed by a general contractor rather than hiring a specialized EIFS contractor. This makes STUCCO CLAD the perfect EIFS alternative for any commercial project both for overall cost and time of installation, without the compromise in quality.
Why should you consider Stucco Clad as the best EIFS Alternative?
- Faster Installation
- Not Weather Dependent
- Lower Labor Costs
- More Durable than EIFS
- Customizable
Faster Installation
Unlike EIFS, which is a mixture of different layers that you need to place up on the wall, Stucco Clad comes in pre-manufactured panels. This means that Stucco Clad can quickly be installed as an exterior siding option in less than half the time it takes to install EIFS.
Not Weather Dependent
Since Stucco Clad is a panelized EIFS alternative, this means no longer needing to have the perfect weather conditions to install your exterior siding. Rain, shine or snow, you can continue your construction work to get your project moving along!
Lower Labor Costs
One of the best perks of using Stucco Clad is its single contractor system. You simply need any general contractor or carpenter to help install this EIFS alternative. This means no specialized contractor needed and in turn reduces your labor costs for your project!
More Durable than EIFS
EIFS has been known to feel soft and is prone to damage. Stucco Clad on the other hand is way more durable than EIFS and can withstand impacts better in comparison. Not only that, it is prone to less water damage and gives you less headaches overall in terms of longevity.
Customizable
Since EIFS has to be applied in layers, there is rarely any room for customizability. On the other hand, Stucco Clad is pre-manufactured to be made into any style, texture or design you need. This makes it easy for you to fit the style of your brand or project vision even before it reaches the construction site.
