Built for Comfort. Designed for Energy Savings.
Every building wastes energy somewhere — the key is finding where and fixing it efficiently. Even small upgrades can create lasting savings.
Here are a few easy ways to make your property more energy-efficient this year:
- Seal the envelope: Cracks, gaps, or damaged sealant lines around EIFS joints, windows, and expansion gaps can leak air and moisture. Proper sealing keeps your building insulated and reduces energy loss.
- Upgrade your exterior insulation: Older EIFS or stucco assemblies may lack the continuous insulation required by today’s energy codes. Modern systems can dramatically lower heating and cooling costs.
- Inspect regularly: Routine maintenance checks prevent costly repairs. Catching early signs of water intrusion, cracking, or delamination keeps your wall systems performing like new.
- Choose reflective finishes: Light-colored or reflective coating systems help reduce heat absorption — lowering cooling costs, especially in hotter climates like Hampton Roads.
Investing in the energy efficiency of your exterior isn’t just good for the environment — it’s good business. Lower energy bills and improved comfort make your property more sustainable and valuable.
Modern Wall Systems can help enhance building envelopes by managing/installing/repairing exterior insulation to create a continuous thermal and water barrier, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% and eliminating thermal bridging.
Repair and Upgrades
- Moisture Intrusion Mitigation: Specialized repairs address, or prevent, water damage by installing proper drainage systems, which are crucial for preventing mold and material rot.
- Thermal Bridging Elimination: The application of EIFS wraps the building in continuous insulation, drastically reducing energy loss and lowering heating/cooling costs.
- Air Infiltration Reduction: Modern EIFS installations can reduce air infiltration by up to 55%, increasing overall building energy efficiency.
- Structural Upgrades: Utilizing lightweight materials, EIFS can be applied over existing exteriors, reducing the load on the building structure.
- We perform thorough inspections to identify breaches, water infiltration, and structural, or insulation issues.
- We help identify intrusion points around windows and doors, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint necessary, targeted repairs rather than costly full-wall removals.
- Energy Efficiency Restoration: By repairing or replacing deteriorated foam insulation and sealant joints, we restore the EIFS ability to reduce thermal bridging and lower heating/cooling costs, leading to improved energy performance.
- System Longevity: Services offered include resealing joints, patching, and resurfacing, which prevent moisture-related damage, rot, and mold, thereby extending the life of the building envelope.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Beyond function, we provide solutions that update the building’s look, enhancing curb appeal and property value.
