EIFS Cladding System

Met Exteriors installs, repairs and replaces exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) for residential, commercial and multi-family buildings in Edmonton and across Alberta. We review the existing exterior, project specifications and required details before recommending a system and repair scope.

Our team follows Alberta building codes for EIFS application, ensuring compliance with all safety and performance standards. We use only high-quality materials and strictly adhere to manufacturer guidelines on every project, guaranteeing a durable, long-lasting finish.

Over the years, we have noticed a growing number of residential, commercial, and multi-family buildings requiring EIFS repairs or complete replacements due to improper installation. Many residential projects, in particular, are not being properly inspected, leading to serious issues such as moisture damage, structural deterioration, and costly insurance claims.

Proper application is critical to ensuring the longevity and performance of EIFS cladding, which is why we prioritize expert installation and quality control on every project.

Woodpecker damage can expose insulation and affect the exterior finish. Where appropriate, an impact-resistant coating system can be considered as part of the repair or installation scope.

Our multi-layered EIFS system acts as a protective shield, enhancing curb appeal while providing superior insulation and weather resistance. Whether you’re upgrading an existing home or working on a new build, you can trust Met Exteriors to deliver expert craftsmanship and cutting-edge solutions tailored to your needs.

Non-Combustible Exteriors Systems

In today’s rapidly expanding urban landscapes, fire safety is a critical consideration for building design. One effective way to enhance fire protection is by utilizing non-combustible exterior building envelopes.

Why Non-Combustible Materials Matter

Non-combustible materials, such as mineral wool, provide unparalleled protection against fire hazards. Mineral wool, made from natural rocks and slag, offers a combination of features that make it ideal for urban environments:

Fire Resistance: Mineral wool is inherently non-combustible, helping to prevent the spread of flames and providing valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.

Superior Insulation (High R-Value): Along with fire safety, mineral wool ensures excellent thermal performance, keeping buildings energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

The Met Exteriors Advantage

At Met Exteriors, we specialize in integrating innovative, fire-safe solutions into modern building designs. Our team combines technical expertise and premium materials like mineral wool to create energy-efficient, fire-resistant exterior systems tailored to your needs.

Building a Safer Future

Non-combustible building envelopes not only safeguard structures but also enhance their durability and performance. Whether you’re constructing a new building or retrofitting an existing one, trust Met Exteriors to deliver solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

Traditional cement stucco, cement board stucco and exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) are different exterior assemblies. Their components, detailing and performance must be evaluated for the specific project.

Material Composition:

Traditional stucco is a cement-based exterior finish. Its composition, reinforcement and application details depend on the specified assembly.

EIFS combines insulation with a reinforced base coat and a finish, using the components and detailing specified for the selected system.

Fire Protection:

Fire performance depends on the complete tested wall assembly and its installation. A cement-based finish alone does not establish a fire-resistance rating for the wall.

Any required EIFS assembly rating must be confirmed against the project specifications and applicable system documentation. There is no single fire-resistance duration that applies to every EIFS installation.

Thermal Performance:

Stucco: Offers limited insulation and relies on additional materials to improve energy efficiency.

EIFS: Delivers superior insulation thanks to its built-in high R-value, which helps reduce energy consumption.

Choosing the Right Solution for Your Project

Met Exteriors can discuss traditional stucco, cement board stucco and EIFS options, and coordinate installation with the project’s approved requirements.

For information on exterior insulation and finish systems, see the EIFS Industry Members Association standards resources. The selected manufacturer’s current documentation and approved project requirements govern the specified assembly.
