NOTE: On the drawings, the following information
must be shown:
1.
Locations of EIFS.
2. Indicate PB or PM system, color and coarse,
medium, or fine finish.
3. Wall sections with construction details,
including flashings, terminations at openings
perimeter, and joints with other materials.
4. Joint layout on elevations. The designer must
locate joint spacing and areas within the
recommendations of at least three qualified EIFS
manufacturers. Show all expansion joints at
building expansion joints, where substrates change,
and where significant structural movement occurs.
5. Include location of control joints, which are
required for Class PM EIFS to help prevent lamina
cracking, on the drawings.
Individual areas shall
not exceed 14 sqm (150 sqft), with a maximum
dimension not exceeding 5500 mm (18 feet) and a
maximum length to height ratio of 2.5 to 1.0.
(Control joints are not typically required for Class
PB EIFS. Consult manufacturer for any specific
equirements.)
6. Joint details, showing back wrapping, base coat,
backer rod, and sealant.
7. Corner details, including drips at edges of
soffits and at undersides of EIFS projections, and
details of flashing and its relation to the EIFS and
to other building elements and parts.
8. Thermal resistance value (R-Value) for each
location.
