The INFINITY WALL SYSTEM

The pressure equalized rainscreen engineered to prevent water infiltration

INFINITY is ...

the ultimate in an EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), offering the most comprehensive built-in method for eliminating the potential for water entering a building.

Reshaping EIFS Technology

Since 1969, building owners, architects, and contractors have relied upon Dryvit for innovative, cost-effective and energy efficient insulation and finish systems.  Dryvit systems have been installed and continue to perform on 350,000-plus projects worldwide.  More than a billion square feet of Dryvit materials protect and beautify commercial, institutional, industrial, and residential structures in both new and retrofit applications.

A Total System

INFINITY is unlike any other wall system. It is a proven assembly that incorporates a cavity wall, an air barrier and a pressure equalized rainscreen technology into one system.  And because water penetration has the greatest likelihood of occurring primarily at the material intersections and sealants at a building, INFINITY addresses two of the most critical components of any wall assembly--the sheathing and the sealant. 

Inner Layer--sheathing and air/weather membrane
Cavity--compartmentalized, patented insulation board
Outer Layer--elastomeric textured finish over reinforced base coat and vent assembly

The inner layer starts with Dens-Glass Gold or a recommended sheathing properly attached to the framing.  Next, sheathing board joints are treated with specially designed grid tape, and a continuous air and water barrier is applied to the substrate.  This barrier, a key component in the INFINITY concept, is extended with rubberized flashing tape to tie into adjacent materials such as windows, door openings and other through-the-wall elements. The result is an air and watertight membrane-the entire inner layer of the INFINITY System.

The Cavity

The cavity consists of Dryvit's patented EPS insulation board, another key component of teh pressure-equalized  function of the system.  The INFINITY EPS board also provides a thermal barrier and drainage channels that capture, control and direct any incidental water out of the system.

The INFINITY System outer layer is known as the rainscreen or lamina.  The rainscreen consists of a flexible base coat, high alkali-resistant reinforcing mesh and a superior elastormeric finish, and offers protection for the inner layer and cavity components.  The finish boasts Dryvit's exclusive PMR (Proven Mildew Resistant) and DPR (Dirt Pickup Resistant) formulation.  Exterior walls look and stay cleaner and brighter with this 21st century technology.  The final element is a Dow Corning low modulus silicone or other approved sealant.  Properly installed and maintained, the sealant provides watertight performance at intersections, transitions and joints and demonstrates superior weather durability.  Dow Corning silicone sealant is the only sealant material warranted by Dryvit.

The INFINITY System is a wall system package that is backed by Dryvit's 12 year, single-source "through-the-wall" warranty against water intrusion which, when used, includes the Dens-Glas Gold sheathing and Dow Corning silicone sealants.  A compound warranty is also available when Tremco Spectrem 1, 3, or 4 silicone sealants are used.  Consult Dryvit Systems, Inc. for full details.
