Facade Renovation – Retrofit to EIFS (Dryvit)

The Heartland Bank in Sunset Hills is renovating the exterior facade of their building and changing the existing ceramic tile to EIFS (Dryvit). Hensley Construction has chosen George Weis Company to perform the EIFS, sheathing, framing, drywall and taping on the project.  The existing substrate is remaining on the building and we are mechanically attaching sheathing to the existing tile and EIFS to the sheathing. The retrofit of the facade not only gives the building a whole new clean aesthetic look, it dramatically increases the thermal efficiency of the building, lowering heating and cooling costs costs by up to 30% (per Dryvit). George Weis company has successfully been retrofitting buildings with EIFS and Restoring / repairing EIFS and plaster since it began in the St. Louis area.
