Question

all of the following are true with eifs except
no building paper is typically used
it is typically applied directly to a polystyrene insulation board
it is typically a two - coat process
a fiberglass mesh replaces wire lath
the finish coat is thicker than with traditional stucco
question 18
which of the following homes is most likely to have concealed damage behind the eifs? a home
in the southwest u.s.
exposed to strong winds
with a four foot roof overhang
with all stucco surfaces vertical
with fewer than average windows

Explanation:

For the first question about EIFS characteristics, EIFS is typically a three - coat process (base coat, reinforcing coat with fiberglass mesh, and finish coat), not a two - coat process. For the second question, homes exposed to strong winds are more likely to have concealed damage behind EIFS as wind can cause water infiltration and other issues that are hard to detect immediately.

Answer:

First question: it is typically a two coat process
Second question: exposed to strong winds
