Description

StoTherm external wall insulations systems conserve energy by wrapping the building in a thermally-resistant envelope, reducing energy bills and CO2 emissions. With over 50 years of system development including innovative components, StoTherm Insulation Systems lead the way in sustainable, durable, functional and versatile facades; meeting and exceeding building insulation requirements.

StoTherm Masonry Insulation is an exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) for concrete masonry, in-situ or pre-cast concrete walls. Consisting of 40 to 100mm and over thick EPS StoTherm Panels or StoTherm+ Panels which increase R-values by up to a further 20%. Where designers want to remove foamed plastics completely, the EPS can be replaced by StoTherm Mineral Wool Panels. The system has been designed with minimal thermal conductivity and no thermal bridging.

Installations are carried out by a Sto Registered Licensed Building Practitioner with the added protection of a Sto 15 or 20 Year Warranty and StoService Assurance, guaranteeing building code compliant materials are used and application meets building code standards, including a service plan for long-term security.

Sto, a world leader in manufacturing insulated render systems has provided over 150 million square metres of insulated cladding to date and has been tried and tested in every climate around the world for proven insulation performance.
