The early 1980s witnessed the EIFS industry gaining considerable traction throughout North America, realizing a significant gain in market share as well as an abundance of architectural design awards. A sluggish plastering trade was suddenly reborn and the construction industry became enamored with this extremely lightweight, yet durable cladding, which allowed for design freedoms and flexibility never before realized. EIFS was suddenly ubiquitous and was used on strip centers, schools, homes, office buildings, and skyscrapers. New construction. Retrofit. Large. Small. Fascias. Soffits. The system provided stunning aesthetics and was incredibly energy efficient too. Its growth was unprecedented. And with this enormous popularity came both need and opportunity. There quite literally was a huge void in the availability of professional tools and accessories to support and enhance a labor force that was called upon to install many millions of square feet per year. There were no G2 Hot Knives or T-PFTAN floats. Wind-Devils, ULP’s, and Lath-locks were a few years away. As were Foam2Foam, groove tool sleds, sanding rasps, Bucket Dredgers, and NELA® trowels. Hence, the creation of Wind-lock™. We have come a long way since 1985 and our Diverse product mix demonstrates our willingness to grow and evolve with the industries we continue to serve. We now supply a complete line of Drywall Tools & Accessories to thousands of Drywall yards across North America that rely on us to be their Trusted resource for materials and supplies.
