System Details

The Ultrakote WM (Water Managed) EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System) is designed to channel any incidental moisture, should it ever occur, away from the wall cavity. The primary difference from the PB system is the application of a secondary moisture barrier and channels for moisture drainage. The WM system still offers the design professional all the desirable features of flexibility, lightweight, and high insulation values.
