As with most products under consideration for purchase, confidence and trust are ultimately the key influencers in one’s buying experience. And, choosing an EIFS fastening system is certainly no exception. One’s choice should be made only after thorough investigation and research, as that buying decision certainly has significant performance implications on the entire wall assembly.
Although EIFS washers are very similar in appearance, they truly are far more than round pieces of plastic with voids and holes. Legitimate ones are designed, engineered and manufactured for specific applications and should never be substituted for because of price, availability, expedience or random decision. They are also made available by reputable companies, with proven track records of reliability. Remember, this inexpensive washer and screw combination performs an incredibly important task: to keep a beautiful finished wall system off of your lawn, vehicle, and/or visitors and securely attached to its substrate for the lifetime of your building.
