2018 EIFS Hero Awards

EIMA is pleased to announce the inaugural EIFS Hero Awards, an exciting awards program to recognize outstanding projects in the EIFS industry. The Hero Awards Program represents a new twist in resuming the EIMA project awards program that was first started in the 1990s. The new and improved program, an initiative of the EIMA Membership Committee, will honor EIFS projects in a variety of building categories. Winning projects will demonstrate the unique attributes of exterior insulation and finish systems, and showcase EIFS as a "hero hidden in plain sight".
