Exterior Insulation Finish Systems Council touts quality assurance program for cladding
TORONTO
The Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) Council of Canada (ECC) continues the roll-out of its industry-leading EIFS Quality Assurance Program (EQI) across Canada in keeping with the construction industry’s growing commitment to sustainable and performance based design. Building on EIFS’ current position as the “cladding of choice,” the EIFS Quality Assurance Program (EIFS QAP) delivers a significant industry response to EIFS market share growth.
“This is a game changer for the cladding space,” commented John M. Garbin, EIFS Council of Canada, president and CEO. “It’s the first certified quality assurance program for any cladding system in North America.”
From design through manufacturing of materials to assembly and in-place performance, certified and licensed EIFS professionals across the EIFS value chain will transform the industry.
“These highly qualified professionals will successfully raise the bar across the entire cladding spectrum as owners and design professionals come to appreciate the value proposition we are delivering,” Garbin added.
