The article, "Integrity Rules," by Robert Thomas in the February 2004 issue of Walls & Ceilings garnered much attention. According to Thomas, his article, about the Exterior Design Institute's EIFS insurance program has even prompted some people to think he is involved with EDI. He is not (see the Letters section in this month's issue for his clarification).
As the only independent publication in the walls and ceilings industry, W&C is a tool to provide information to contractors so they can practice better business. The EDI insurance program is extremely relevant, not only to EIFS contractors and potential EIFS contractors who want to do commercial and residential work but it is relevant to an industry that is still healing. If a program like this is good for EIFS contractors, it's good for the EIFS industry.
