Dryvit Systems Inc., the leading manufacturer of exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) in North America, announced today the launch of a breakthrough new brick product that will allow EIFS installers to bid for exterior cladding work when clay brick is specified as the exterior cladding material. Since many exterior cladding jobs call for both clay brick and EIFS, traditional EIFS installers will now be able to provide a bid for both the EIFS and brick cladding, enabling a general contractor to work with a single contractor for a building’s exterior cladding.
NewBrick can be installed with Dryvit’s Outsulation system to meet continuous insulation requirements or directly over a masonry substrate. The lightweight product can dramatically increase brick installation productivity and provide new options for architects, contractors, and building owners who wish to include brick as part of a new or renovated building’s exterior cladding.
