USG's Fiberock Brand Sheathing with Aqua-Tough now enables specifiers and contractors to design and build EIFS assemblies using 24-inch on center construction, without compromising building safety or structural integrity.
Historically, the EIFS industry has used 16-inch OC framing to meet wind load capacity and deflection performance requirements. As confirmed by recent independent testing, Fiberock is the first substrate that delivers the needed flexural strength and nail pull resistance to allow for 24-inch OC construction.
