There is a company in Jackson, Wisconsin that has taken decorative concrete to yet another level. Architectural Wall Systems literally supplies walls. AWS is the foremost provider of these specialty exterior wall systems. Technically, these walls are called Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), which is actually synthetic stucco.
Unlike traditional stucco, which is comprised of layers of cement over wire mesh EIFS is made of foam insulation board, wire mesh and both a base and finish coat. Once these components are put together properly, not only can they create the outer walls for an entire building, they also provide other benefits.
Since there is a lot of emphasis on being energy efficient these days, EIFS fits the bill perfectly. Because of the way EIFS is put together and because of its insulation, it can reduce the amount of energy used, it can increase efficiency, and it can increase interior comfort and air quality. Architectural Wall Systems states that “no other wall system offers optimal protection against the elements, energy efficiency and economy, and the design freedom of unlimited colors, textures, specialty finishes, integral shapes curves and details.” EIFS has been successfully used and stood the test on billions of square feet world wide for 50 years, creating a solid and reliable track record.
If that is not enough, Architectural Wall Systems deals with many other products including Brick Veneer, Manufactured Stone, Hard Coat Stucco and Thin Brick. These stunning applications work well for homes or businesses.
