An optional water-resistive barrier (WRB) that covers the substrate.
The drainage plane between the WRB and the insulation board and is most commonly achieved with vertical ribbons of adhesive applied over the WRB.
An insulation board, typically made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), is attached with an adhesive or mechanically to the substrate.
Glass-fiber reinforcing mesh embedded in the base coat. A water-resistant base coat that is applied on top of the insulation to serve as a weather barrier.
