Synthetic stucco, or Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), is a multi-layered system that includes insulation board, a base coat with a reinforcing mesh, and a finish coat. EIFS offers superior insulation properties but requires careful installation to prevent moisture intrusion. Each has distinct aesthetic and performance characteristics.",
