Benefits of Plaston EIFS
1. Weather Protection
In a Canadian climate, protection against the elements is essential. Plaston wall surfaces are water resistant, and prevent rain and snow from entering the system. Our outstanding performance record is due in large part to our extensive experience in harsh environments. Plaston EIF Systems have passed every industry water penetration test, and millions of square feet of our systems have been installed and are still beautiful and moisture-free.
2. Enhanced Moisture Drainage
Plaston drainage systems are connected with mechanical fasteners to enhance drainage ability. These drainage systems are extremely effective because they both repel water and channel any vapour that may penetrate the system, leading moisture down the channels and out of the structure.
3. Superior Insulation
Plaston EIF Systems work as a thermal blanket by covering the entire structure and preventing heat loss, which translates into reduced energy costs. EIF Systems can reduce heating costs by as much as 28%, when compared to other exterior claddings. Mechanical fasteners are used often because of their outstanding connective ability in providing the best insulation possible.
4. Low Maintenance and Long-Term Durability
Plaston coatings and finishes contain 100% acrylic polymers. They resist: fading, peeling, cracking, dirt buildup, mildew, mold and other biological growths. They can easily be cleaned with mild detergent and low-pressure washing. If a change is desired, re-coating is simple and inexpensive. Choose Plaston EIFS to ensure enduring beauty and integrity in coatings and finishes.
5. Cost Savings
Plaston’s systems are extremely cost effective because they ensure reduced labour costs and reduced production time. Also, the durability and quality of a Plaston system saves both the architect and the end-user money by minimizing maintenance costs. In fact, the end user also benefits from the lower heating expenses that come with a Plaston System.
6. More Interior Space
Plaston EIF Systems are lightweight and well balanced, thus creating less pressure on a building than other exterior claddings. This reduces costs in sizing foundation, footings, and structural beams.
Our Systems also require less design deflection, which means you can have more freedom to design taller rooms with more room for floor space.
7. Versatility and Freedom of Design
Plaston EIF Systems are specially designed to facilitate individuality and customization. We provide a wide range of materials and colors, and together we can determine the best possible design and look for a building. Whether it’s curves, arches or accent bands, Plaston can combine different architectural styles to beautify any building and complement any environment.
