Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems
(EIFS) Applications
As a component of an EIF system, GlasRoc® Sheathing
offers:
| • |
Superior water
shed and surface water resistance. |
| • |
Excellent total
water absorption resistance. |
| • |
Six month resistance
to UV and environmental exposure. |
| • |
Improved insulation
adhesion due to integrated board surface. |
Superior Strength
GlasRoc® Sheathing
integrally bonds its face coating to the moisture resistant
core, resulting in a superior, protective composite sheathing
that will perform in all climates.Dimensional Stability
GlasRoc® Sheathing
resists delamination, rippling, buckling and sagging caused
by environmental conditions, such as freeze/thaw, heat and
humidity, and direct UV exposure. This technology, with its
fully embedded glass mats, makes GlasRoc® Sheathing
state-of-the-art, and will provide a flat and uniform substrate
for EIFS applications.
Moisture Resistance
When properly
installed, GlasRoc® Sheathing
blocks liquid water without inhibiting water vapor transmission.
The result is a protective surface that is extremely resistant
to water damage.
Easy to Install
GlasRoc® Sheathing
is easier to handle and install. No special tools are required.
Score it with a standard utility knife. Install it with standard
sheathing fasteners.
