Our History
Founded in 1987, the EIFS Council of Canada (ECC) was formed to represent the Canadian EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish Systems) industry across Canada and all its user sectors. The EIFS Council looks back over the industry’s 40-year history in Canada to chart the course forward – advancing innovation balanced with preservation and supported by independent and government validation.
The ECC and its membership have set the highest standard for exterior wall systems. Today, the EIFS industry is able to place a checkmark beside exterior wall expectations with unparalleled confidence and affirmed experience.*
