Modern building exteriors are as varied as the materials that are available, including brick and stone veneers, precast concrete, glass curtain walls, exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS), and many others. Building exteriors serve as an aesthetic skin as well as a barrier between inside and outside environments. When these systems fail, damage can occur to the exterior and interior building finish materials as well as the structural system. In addition, if a failure occurs in the exterior wall fastening system, portions of the facade may separate from the structure, creating potential risk to public safety.
