CLAPCA Moving Forward October 2008
|
|
Since 1996, CLAPCA has been in the forefront of defending our industry from assault by groups that sought to end the use of Class PB E.I.F.S. in the Carolinas. Now, nearly 12 years later and nearing the 40th anniversary of the introduction of E.I.F.S. in North America, our future is bright. Our industry is healthy, and our association is moving forward.
CLAPCA is now uniquely positioned to promote our industry in the Carolinas. The recent D.O.E. study proves E.I.F.S. to be the wall system capable of addressing the energy concerns of our future. While the brick industry realizes the short comings of their walls systems, E.I.F.S. is positioned to possibly be the "Green" wall system of the future. The recent I.C.C. approval of I.R.C. validates E.I.F.S. for inclusion in the 2009 I.B.C. and I.R.C. validates E.I.F.S. and recognizes it among other more traditional wall systems by removing it as an "alternate to the code" and placing it on the equal footing with other wall claddings.
