Cost effective EWI and finish system incorporating standard grade expanded polystyrene (EPS) or high performance low lambda EPS insulation.
Dryvit’s Drysulation is a cost-effective external wall insulation (EWI) system suitable for use on either new construction or refurbishment projects. The system is based on a simple premise – insulation is more effective when placed on the exterior of a building. By bringing insulation to the outside of external walls, this barrier EWI eliminates thermal bridges; reduces air, wind and moisture penetration through the system; stabilizes the interior environment and minimizes thermal shock. Drysulation has been independently certified for use with either standard (white) or high performance low lambda grade (grey) expanded polystyrene (EPS) to meet the thermal needs of all wall and building types. It also has a wide range of finish options to suit architectural and parochial requirements.
