Top 10 FAQs For This Topic
	We are using a Dryvit system in Augusta, Ga. I have located attachment paterns with Winlock fasteners in your e-lit, however it only gives details for EPS up to 2". As you will see in the next paragraph, we are using thicker EPS with Hilti fasteners. Please provide a recommended pattern as such. The design wind speed at this building is 100 mph. The worst case wall component and cladding wind pressure (10 ft2 area) is 25 psf. The assembly is as follows: 18" cast in place concrete wall, Tremco 250 Water proofing cured (60mils - self sealing), Mechanically fasten EPS with Hilti X-IE Insulation Fastener 4” 6-100 PH 52 No. 376475. Complete the Dryvit (hole patch, base cait, finish, etc.) per manufature's recommendations.
	In mechanically attached systems, what is the minimum EPS thickness?
	What are the limitations for usage of EIFS in high wind load areas?
	What is the maximum EPS thickness allowed with Dryvit Outsulation systems?
	Is mechanical attachment of EIFS recommended to resist high wind loads?
	How do I determine if I can adhesively attach Outsulation systems over a painted wall?
	When using mechanical fasteners, how many fasteners are needed per piece of EPS?
	Can Wind-Lock ULP-302 and ULP-402 plates be used to attach EPS to an approved substrate?
	Can Wind-Lock Wind-Devil 2 or ITW Buildex Grid-Mate PB washers be used to attach polyisocyanurate (Quik-R and Atlas) foam to an approved substrate?
