ShieldIt™

A Base Coat Which Provides Protection from Woodpecker Damage on EIFS Substrates

Acrylic polymer-modified products are mixed in a proprietary ratio to produce two composite base coats. The ShieldIt™ base coats are used over new and existing EIFS base coats to provide a layer of protection against damage from woodpeckers and similar pests. The combination of the two base coat layers changes the surface characteristics to deter fowl from pecking their way through an EIFS lamina.
