Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)

While exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) and polymer stucco are energy-efficient and flexible wall systems, they can't provide full thermal protection. QUIK-R™ polyisocyanurate insulation is specially designed to be a low-cost installation and durable insulation substrate for these wall systems. QUIK-R insulation is lightweight and has a high thermal value, so it can be applied quickly and easily for subsequent fast finishing with polymer stucco.
