INSTALLING THE INSULATION BOARD ON<br />
COMMERCIAL DRAINAGE EIFS PROJECTS<br />
The previous section of this guide has shown the preliminary<br />
tasks of wrapping rough openings, backwrapping, installing<br />
tracks, water-resistive barriers and flashing required for<br />
the different Parex USA Commercial Drainage EIFS Systems.<br />
One system requires mechanical attachment of the EPS<br />
board and the other, liquid applied barrier system, makes<br />
use of adhesive attachment. The layout and application of<br />
the EPS board is the same for each system even though the<br />
attachment method may differ. Information regarding those<br />
differences is listed here:<br />
When the adhesive is used in the WaterMaster System:<br />
The ribbons of adhesive must be made with a 1/2 x 1/2 x 2 in.<br />
(13 x 13 x 51mm) spacing U-notched trowel. The ribbons<br />
of adhesive must run vertically when positioned on the<br />
substrate (parallel to the 2 ft. [61cm] board dimension).<br />
(Fig 15.1)<br />
The rules for insulation board installation have been<br />
described and shown with the Standard System, beginning<br />
on page 4 and continuing through the finish and sealant<br />
application on page 15.<br />
