Generated explanation

Five cutaway wall assemblies illustrate drainage layer options behind exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS). The options shown are geotextile drainage material, insulation panels with notched trowel-applied adhesive, mineral fiber insulation boards, panels with chamfered corners, and panels with vertical grooves. Arrows indicate drainage paths behind the insulation, with callouts identifying horizontal and vertical drainage at chamfers and vertical drainage through grooves. Each assembly shows the backing wall, insulation, reinforcing mesh, and partially cut-away exterior coating layers. The illustration presents alternative drainage configurations without identifying a defective installation.
