What is Outsulation®? |
|
 Outsulation® is an exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) that has been revolutionizing the building industry since its inception in 1969. As the name implies, the system is based upon the concept of putting insulation on the outside of the wall. The energy efficiency of Outsulation is provided by the expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board used, which increases in efficiency with the increase in EPS thickness. Up to 4" of EPS can be installed on the outside of your wall, giving an R-Value of 15.4. Since the insulation is placed on the outside of the studs and sheathing, none of this R-Value is lost due to heat transfer through the studs. Up to 30% of R-Value can be lost when conventional batt insulation is used because of the breaks in the insulation where studs are located.
In additional to superior energy efficiency, Outsulation delivers design freedom, durability, beauty and cost effectiveness. Dryvit finishes are available in a wide variety of colors and textures, giving the building owner unlimited choices. Dryvit finishes can emulate brick, granite, stucco, limestone, precast and more.
