PlastiSpan EFS insulation is a moulded expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board used in Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS). EIFS are non-load bearing exterior wall cladding systems typically consisting of PlastiSpan EFS insulation attached to a substrate, an integrally reinforced base coat applied to the face of the PlastiSpan EFS insulation and a protective finish applied to the surface of the base coat. The PlastiSpan EFS insulation is attached to the substrate using specially formulated adhesives and/or mechanical attachment.
PlastiSpan EFS insulation used in EIFS applications covers the outside of the building so that the structure is isolated from the wide temperature fluctuations of the climate. This reduces expansion and contraction of the structure and stabilizes interior temperatures. When using PlastiSpan EFS insulation in EIFS applications it provides a complete exterior blanket of insulation in a simpler manner than application of insulation on the interior.
