Panelized eifs stucco-siding system and method

Abstract

A panelized EIFS stucco siding system with a locking edge. The device is a pre-finished stucco siding panel system that can be installed in any weather condition without extra preparation or consideration. The system has “SL” trim lock system that can be installed by professionals or can be used by the DIY (do-it-yourselfer). It provides a weather tight cladding system that adds beauty and insulation value to the building envelope.
