Starter Boards

Pre-Cut, Coated, Ready-to-Install EPS Starter Boards

With factory pre-applied reinforcing mesh and base coat, Dryvit Starter Boards save significant time and labor, drastically improving efficiency on job sites with up to three times faster installations. They are the perfect solution for professionals looking to streamline EIFS installations while ensuring top-notch performance and durability. These lightweight, cost-effective boards are 9 ½” (241 mm) in height and offer a range of benefits to simplify and enhance your exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) installations.

Termination points are one of the most critical points in an EIFS system, and unfortunately they are also one of the slowest and most labor-intensive to install: Sitting only 2” to 6” above grade level – and oftentimes that grade level on a construction site is a mud hole. Installers are working blind, back-wrapping the termination to protect against moisture infiltration, UV damage, or even possible rodent infestation. Dryvit Starter Boards eliminate basically all of this backbreaking, time-consuming work.
