PB EIFS - Standard Systems

Product Description, Applications

PB EIFS - STANDARD SYSTEM
The PAREX Standard System is a PB EIFS with adhesively attached EPS insulation board, a 1/16" (1.6 mm) thick, single layer of basecoat and PAREX reinforcing mesh over the entire surface. Additional mesh can be used to meet high impact requirements.

Finishes
All PAREX finishes are synthetic - a great improvement over traditional, cementitious stucco. With acrylic finishes, factory mixing and color formation eliminate the problems and guesswork of onsite mixing, providing consistent color and texture.

Features, Advantages

• Exterior EPS - R-value of 4 ft² x h x °F/Btu/in (0.7 m² x K/W/25.4 mm); eliminates thermal bridging with the exterior
• EPS shapes - Economical details
• Basecoat - Low cement content; improved flexibility and durability
• Finishes - Virtually limitless variety of colors and textures; PAREX specializes in custom colors and color matching

Properties, Performance

• Coating surface burning characteristics - ASTM E84; flamespread, 0 - 5; smoke developed, 0 - 10
• Large-scale, vertical, fire spread - ASTM E108, modified; no vertical or horizontal flamespread; prevented core involvement
• Fire resistance - ASTM E119 1, 2 and 3 hour; standard fire resistive assembly rating maintained
• Transverse wind load resistance - ASTM E330, 150 psf (7 kPa) negative wind load; no system failure; substrate failure only
• Gardner Impact Test - ASTM D2794; 25 - 200 in-lb (3 - 22 N x m)
• Water penetration - ASTM E331; pass
• Resistant to freeze/thaw, salt fog, moisture, abrasion and ultraviolet light
• Finishes contain EPA registered fungicide

Standard Systems conform to:

• BOCA No. 99-39
• ICBO No. ER-4962
• SBCCI No. 9629B

Warranty
PB EIFS Standard is backed by a 5 year limited warranty.

Water Master™ EIFS With Drainage

PAREX Water Master™ technology offers all the advantages of PB EIFS: beauty, durability and cost- effectiveness. It allows incidental moisture that may enter behind the system to be released through Vented Track at the termination of the system. PAREX Water Master further protects with a moisture barrier installed between the substrate and the insulation board.

PAREX offers 4 types of Water Master Systems, 2 commercial and 2 residential. Commercial-DB features KeyCoat technology, channeled foam board and vented track. Commercial-VR allows moisture to escape via vertical ribbon channels created by the EPS adhesive KeyGuard. The residential systems are Water Master with House Wrap and Water Master with StuccoWrap™.
