As Building Codes get more complex, the needs of builders are becoming more advanced as they adapt to the new requirements. It is up to manufacturers to help meet these needs by creating innovative solutions that will make the builders’ jobs easier. We believe that single-source solutions are the best way to meet the industry’s evolving needs.
Today we’re highlighting our prototype One-Sided SIS EIFS Panel with DensElement® Barrier System. It is a prime example of our mission to represent the next generation of continuous exterior insulation sheathing panel solutions that better meet/exceed existing and future building codes. The One-Sided SIS EIFS Panel with DensElement® Barrier System is built using:
1. An EPS Foam core, which acts as the interior of the sheathing panel. The EPS Foam also functions as a Rainscreen using our proprietary SIS Puck Rainscreen System™.
2. Georgia Pacific’s DensElement® Barrier System on the exterior of the panel.
Saving Builders Time and Money
For the first time, we can provide builders the ability to skip 57%, or four steps, of the exterior construction process. Featuring an R-Value of R9.22 our One-Sided SIS EIFS Panel with DensElement® Barrier System combines:
Exterior Insulation and Sheathing
Laminating the insulation to the sheathing panels creates continuous exterior insulation.
Fire Retardant Layer
No fire barrier is required, the DensElement® Sheathing exterior board is fire rated.
Water-Resistant Barrier and Air Barrier
Georgia Pacific’s DensElement® Barrier System has a built-in WRB-AB layer
Integrated Rainscreen and Sheathing
Install a rainscreen and the layers of the EIFS simultaneously thanks to our proprietary SIS Puck Rainscreen System™
Our four-in-one system is a single-source solution that allows builders and designers to implement multiple wall components at the same time. We designed this innovative sheathing panel to assist builders in reaching their ever-changing needs, and the more efficient installation process is only one of the benefits that our One-Sided SIS EIFS Panel with DensElement® Barrier System provides.
A more efficient assembly installation saves builders time and money by reducing the number of trades, labour costs, purchase orders, and the overall complexity of construction projects.
Benefits of our EIFS Panel
Less Scaffolding
A standard EIFS installation requires builders to set up and tear down scaffolding with each layer of the external wall. Our four-in-one system lets builders set up scaffolding once to make construction more efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
Year-Round EIFS Installation
Thanks to our SIS Puck Rainscreen System™, EIFS installers are no longer limited by weather conditions. Working year-round gives builders more flexibility.
Fewer Steps
Combining four layers of the EIFS in one product reduces external construction steps for the building envelope by 57%.
Fewer Trades
Where three trades are normally required, only one is needed with our sheathing panel. Both framers and stucco tradespeople can install this panel quickly and easily.
Simpler Warranty
No need to worry about the warranty terms and conditions of all the individual components of an exterior wall – the warranty for SIS Panels covers multiple layers of EIFS.
One Payment
Fewer contractors and more materials in a single product mean fewer individual payments. Simplify your project in a small yet effective way.
Fully Customizable
Meet your project requirements without hassle thanks to our wide customizability. Achieve higher R-Values with different foam cores and meet specialized requirements, such as non-combustibility, with different exterior boards.
Efficient Installation
Fewer trips around the builder are required compared to a standard EIFS installation. Work more efficiently and save time with SIS Panels™.
Our One-Sided SIS EIFS Panel with DensElement® Barrier System is poised to push the boundaries of single-source solutions for the building envelope. We are always trying new ideas to provide builders with innovative cost-effective solutions to meet their ever-changing needs, and we’re just getting started.
