We have a new concrete foundation stem wall with exterior EPS foam insulation. The question is a reliable and economical way to protect it. I’ve run across this cement product and wonder if anyone has experience with it or with similar products.
Akona® Foundation Coating Cement

I noticed that unlike a 1-coat stucco it doesn’t have any form of mesh. Yet it seems to adhere adequately to the insulation.
Do you have alternative approaches to protecting exposed foundation insulation that you prefer?
