Preswitt is about to embark on another exciting chapter.
Recent technical enhancements have been made to Preswitt's
EIF Rainscreen System. In response to the City of Vancouver
Buildings Inspection Department, the company has created
a virtually foolproof system where even if water gets behind
the insulation, it will drain. Such water penetration should
never happen if detailing is properly specified, if proper
flashings are installed and if application is done correctly.
The Preswitt system which incorporates Insulation
Board, Reinforcing Fabric, Adhesive Compound/Basecoat and
Acrylic Finish pioneered the development of energy
efficient wall cladding in the Pacific Northwest. The system
can be used as a complete cladding and insulation system
for new buildings, retrofit applications and with prefabricated
panel systems.
Preswitt products have been successfully specified for
thousands of applications including multi-family and single
family residential, industrial, commercial and institutional
buildings and for unique and durable feature walls. Preswitt
coatings are gaining popularity for interior applications,
which is a huge market that has hardly been touched. The
company is currently looking at expanding its market to
the Pacific Rim countries and the president has already
made trips to China in this regard.
