> like eifs no. eifs can be made of rock wool as well, and they are probably legal in the states as well.  the vapor barrier has holes punched in them from cables and pipes and misfired nails, and that can be covered up with spray foam insulation.  spray foam is excellent short term, but not as good in the long run. it traps moisture, so if you have a small leak or condensation then it stays and the wood can start to rot.  for concrete or brick houses foam or spray foam is very good.
