Building Green Since 1978

energex® is proud to offer some of the industry’s most environmentally friendly and energy efficient EIFS. The primary function of EIFS is to encase a structure with exterior insulation . Our methods and materials have been honed in the toughest building market in the world – urban New York. From its start, energex® has worked to save energy, save time, save costs. Today’s EIFS enclosure consists of several layers of material, all manufactured from recycled or easily recyclable materials, the most important of which is the insulation layer. The insulation layer of energex® dramatically decreases heat loss and ensures that cool air stays in, guaranteeing optimal indoor comfort and air quality.

Our newest product, Next Generation, reduces waste, speeds up detail work threefold, adding to our ability to provide superior, long-lasting aesthetic appeal.
