For you guys (and gals) out there in EIFS land, ever thought about, or ever seen, EIFS catch fire?
Wondering what the house looks like after a fire, what with combustible siding more combustible than typical wood siding.
I was reading in my NFPA Journal today about a hotel fire earlier this year where the fire originated on the roof, but due to the EIFS on the exterior, the fire spread DOWNWARD down the exterior walls, blowing out some windows and then entering the hotel interior from there.
What would have been a much less costly fire turned into a very costly fire: "The total damage caused by the fire and the associated business interruptions is estimated as $100 million."
