Sealant is used to "seal" the joint that exists between two dissimilar materials; those
dissimilar surfaces expand and contract from thermal change and building movement. The
sealant must accommodate that movement. This activity wears out the sealant at a rate
that can be more rapid than the wear on other façade components. Sealant addresses this
condition of moving joints in building envelopes and, as a result, must be maintained and
replaced per the manufacturers' recommendations (typically within 10-20 years of
installation). The process of sealant replacement, therefore, could take place many times
over a building's useful life.

"Overcladding" offers an existing building owner the option to use many new textures and
specialty finishes that Dryvit did not offer years ago. The "overclad" application of new
finishes can allow for an existing building to be reborn through redesign, reimaging and/or
rebranding. This opportunity can be further enhanced through the addition of sculptural
EIFS based shapes such as add-on trims, bands, cornice, quoins, etc. and/or the addition
of aesthetic grooves being cut into the existing EIFS cladding.

Cleaning EIFS should be done by a skilled
professional. The best way to clean EIFS is to
use high water volume coupled with low water
pressure and non-abrasive cleaners. Do not
use caustic chemicals or abrasive cleaning
techniques, which will permanently damage
the finish.
