10mm Geometrically Defined
Drainage Cavity (GDDC)
PUCCS is continuous insulation cladding that includes a
Geometrically Defined Drainage Cavity (GDDC) that is
10 mm deep and 37% open. PUCCS has been evaluated
by CCMC for compliance with the National Building Code
of Canada, PUCCS complies with the CAN/ULC-S716.1
EIFS Materials and Systems test standard, and PUCCS
satisfies the fire protection test requirements in National
Building Code of Canada Article 3.1.5.5 when tested in
accordance with CAN/ULC-S134 and in Article 3.2.3.8
when tested in accordance with CAN/ULC-S101

For clarity of illustration all details depict Roller Bear as the

first coat moisture barrier and Cement Bear as the second
coat moisture barrier. Please refer to the following page for
alternative moisture barrier combinations.
