Product Description:
The products in this section are designed to
make the EIFS installation process less costly while retaining system integrity.
Most of these products have been designed with the help of industry professionals.
They are manufactured of high-impact resistant, lead free PVC and conform
to ASTM standards D1784 and C1063. All products shall be third party
tested to meet ASTM standard D4216-99 and be Canadian Code Compliant.
All products are listed by ITS/Warnock Hersey. They may be used with
any insulated system, hard wall system, or fiber reinforced insulated system.
Basic Use:
These products are designed to help eliminate labor
intensive practices (such as rasping and back wrapping) and to provide straight
and impact resistant edges. The Starter Trac™ with drip edge will stop
any moisture from running down the face and back into the system. Starter
tracs and casing beads will also eliminate the need to apply finish at the
termination point. A separate line of heavy duty casing beads for the modified “hard
coat” cement stucco systems are available. These products are designed for the EPS board to sit in a protective shelf,
and allow for either a 1/4" or 1/2" thick stucco to be applied.
Installation:
Installation should be in accordance with, and recommendations
of system manufacturer, accepted industry standards and local building codes.
Weather Resistance:
Ultraviolet Sunlight: Plasticizers and similar
chemicals which can migrate to the surface are not present in the PVC formulas
used in the manufacturing of PLASTIC COMPONENTS, INC. products covered in
this section.
Low Temperatures: All materials, including metals, will gradually harden
as temperatures drop. What is important, is the ability of the material
to function as the temperature drops.
Coefficient of Expansion and Contraction: PVC products are weaker than the
materials to which they are attached and the plaster in which they are embedded.
Therefore, the products will move with the wall and the plaster they are
embedded in, and are not free to express their coefficient of expansion and
contraction.
Availability & Cost:
PLASTIC COMPONENTS, INC. products for
this application offer lower in place costs than back wrapping and finishing.
All products are available from regional warehouses which supply your local
wholesale distributor.
Specification:
A short form CSI specification is printed on each
product sheet. A description is included to assist you in the proper selection
of product. ASTM standard specification (copy) is available upon request.
Maintenance:
PVC products have a built in resistance to damage
and will return to their original shape when subjected to normal impact.
There is no transmission of shock, which means damage is localized to the
point of impact. Repairs can be made by returning the product to its original
shape and reapplying finish to the damaged area. If cut, the product can
be repaired with vinyl cement.
Caulking: Caulking materials bond very well to PVC products. Contact the
caulk manufacturer or PLASTIC COMPONENTS, INC. for specific recommendations.
Painting: No special preparation necessary.
Physical Characteristics:
Material Description: All products are manufactured
from PVC compounds conforming to ASTM D1784, cell classification 13244C.
