Wall Cladding Systems That Do More Than Look Good
Safeguarding Walls with Durable, High-Performance Finishes
EIFS and cladding systems that protect, insulate, and perform, from exterior upgrades to full-system remediation.
Indicators of Façade System Failure
Building envelope issues often begin with subtle deterioration. Addressing them early prevents larger structural or performance problems. Key indicators include:
-
Cracking, displacement, or bulging in EIFS or metal panels
-
Visible staining or efflorescence due to moisture infiltration
-
Deteriorating finishes, including peeling coatings or delamination
-
Noticeable drafts along perimeter walls
-
Decline in thermal performance or increased energy use
Once the scope is defined, Canmar executes targeted repairs or system replacements to restore function, preserve aesthetics, and maintain long-term performance.
Where Building Performance Begins
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems), metal cladding, and composite wall panels are more than aesthetic features. They’re engineered building envelope components designed to manage moisture, enhance energy performance, and protect structural elements beneath the surface.
When improperly installed or left unmaintained, these systems can fail, allowing water intrusion, air leaks, and thermal bridging that compromise comfort and building performance. Whether it’s restoring a damaged wall assembly or upgrading for long-term value, Canmar delivers façade solutions that meet the moment.
How We Restore and Reinforce Façade Systems
Wall systems vary by building, but their function remains consistent. Our work on EIFS and metal cladding systems focuses on performance, protection, and long-term function.
Each scope is tailored to the wall system’s design and current condition, ensuring a safe, durable, and coordinated restoration that minimizes disruptions to ongoing operations. Services include:
EIFS Installations and Repairs: Restoring damaged insulation, reinforcing base layers, and upgrading finishes to meet modern performance standards.
Metal Panel Replacement: Replacing deteriorated or outdated cladding panels to restore envelope integrity and visual appeal.
Sealant and Joint Remediation: Removing failed sealants and reapplying joints to prevent moisture intrusion and air leakage.
Thermal Insulation Improvements: Upgrading insulation values behind cladding or EIFS assemblies for improved energy efficiency.
Moisture Management and Drainage Fixes: Addressing internal drainage paths and barrier failures that lead to trapped moisture and wall degradation.
