TORONTO, July 7, 2026 /CNW/ – Durabond Products Ltd., a Canadian-owned leader in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), announces that Elastolith brick slips are now available as a finish option for Durabond’s EIFS exterior cladding system. The addition gives architects, builders, developers, and owners a new way to achieve authentic masonry brick aesthetics while preserving the performance, efficiency, and design flexibility of a Durabond EIFS assembly.
Expanded Design Possibilities
Elastolith also supports expanded design expressions, including wood grain effects, stone block appearances, custom colours, varied patterns, and unique shapes and textures. This flexibility allows for more creative exterior designs without compromising the advantages of a proven EIFS system.
