The illustration shows cutaway EIFS wall terminations with a two-stage caulk joint on the left and a single-stage caulk joint on the right. The cutaways expose insulation board, reinforcing mesh, base coat, and finish coat. Mesh and base coat backwrap the EIFS at ends and openings. The caulking bonds to the base coat behind the finish coat, with caulk and backer rod identified in the two-stage detail. Both details are presented as ideal caulking configurations.
