Modern exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) provide a method of saving energy and designing a facade in a single step. Accordingly, they are of major importance for new buildings and for the renovation of existing residential and office buildings.

This seminar summarizes the system, its structure, use and the requirements it must meet.

During the two-day intensive seminar, you will learn about the individual components of the EIFS system and the advantage of using polymer binders for this application. You will also be informed about current market trends, potential savings, and the European standards and codes of practice. We will be demonstrating how to install these systems correctly and how to carry out the comprehensive tests.
