What each part of this front shows

Four surfaces are visible in the photo, and each one marks a different stage of the same job.

Finish onBlack finishCovers the two upper floors of the left block. One horizontal joint line runs across it between the two rows of windows.
Finish onLight grey finishWraps the upper box on the right, around a wide window with a thin sill under it.
Not startedBare plywoodThe tall stair tower, the covered entry and the lower right wall have no system on them yet.
InstalledBlack window framesEvery window, including the three-panel window in the tower, was set before the walls around it were finished.

Also on site: steel scaffold frames stacked by the entry, wrapped pallets behind the fence, and pails of material in the garage.

The five layers under that black finish

Only the last layer shows. The bare plywood in the photo is the sheathing these layers go on, from the inside out.

We install drainage EIFS: water that gets behind the finish runs down and out through flashing at the base of the wall. How our EIFS is built

  1. 1. Water-resistive barrierGoes straight onto the sheathing.
  2. 2. Adhesive or fastenersHold the foam board to the wall.
  3. 3. EPS foam board1–2" on a re-clad, 2–4" on a new build. About R-3.6 to R-4 per inch, so 2" gives roughly R-8.
  4. 4. Base coat with fibreglass meshThe mesh is embedded in the base coat to reinforce it.
  5. 5. Tinted acrylic finishThe colour is in the finish itself, so black or grey never needs repainting.

Questions about an EIFS job like this one

Was the house finished when the photo was taken?
No. The black and grey walls had their finish, but the stair tower, the entry and the lower right wall were still bare plywood, and scaffold frames were stacked by the door.
Is the black colour paint?
No. An acrylic EIFS finish is tinted, so the colour is part of the finish coat and does not need repainting.
How thick is the foam behind an EIFS wall?
We usually use 1 to 2 inches of EPS on a re-clad and 2 to 4 inches on a new build. EPS gives about R-3.6 to R-4 per inch.
When in the year can EIFS go on in Ontario?
Our EIFS season runs from April to November.
