They only foam I have seen with the EIFS system is the bead foam that can be shaven.
Do you have any backup of what you are talking about. Never heard of it up here.

I am currently not at the office. Do a search for the foam factory in south florida. I imagine it is on their site if they have one. It has been around here for over Ten years. If anyone really needs the info email me and I will provide you with their contact info.

I have seen hardcoat, hybrid EiFs before but it was over a hard backer material, never foam. I have seen this ****ty yellow foam too but always had mesh and especially corner mesh to reinforce the areas susceptable to mechanical damage. I am not saying it does not exists but I find contractors doing all kinds of crazy crap. You should have the seen the cluster I inspected yesterday.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

I could be mistaken but they use to call the yellow foam sprint board around here anyway. And they claimed you just needed to spot the screw caps and tape the joints, no field mesh required.

as for the pre coated trim pieces they do/did have mesh on them and needed the joints meshed and screw holes filled also.

I've used those in the past Carl, they do save a lot of work when doing ornamental designs in the EIFS system.
