Concrete Block Construction
StoArmat Miral Plaster System - BRANZ Appraisal Certificate 515 (2007)
Concrete Block Technology with a Traditional Background
From the start of civilization solid mass masonry materials have been used to provide a durable means of building.
Sto has a traditional background of treating masonry surfaces throughout Europe for over 150 years. Based on this experience in concrete block methodology Sto has developed waterproofing methods and breathable plasters to compliment, protect and enhance this building element.
Employing over 120 technical staff with a complex range of modern analytical equipment Sto pursues innovative technology that will meet ecologically acceptable standards. Using this approach Sto has developed a comprehensive range of facade plasters, finishing renders and cladding solutions to enable the specifiers to select an individual style to meet the project requirements.

StoTherm Insulation System
StoTherm Classic Masonry has now been the international benchmark in the field of facade insulation for over 40 years.
Its shock proof and impact resistance is up to 6 times higher
than that of mineral cement based systems offering the utmost in fracture prevention. It consists of a co-ordinated systematic approach providing the optimum insulation requirements for concrete block construction. For a component break-down of the StoTherm Insulation System, please refer to the StoArmat Miral StoTherm Insulation System brochure.
Stolit: Coloured Finishing Renders
Stolit organic finishing renders are manufactured in Europe and certified around the world. They have been in successful use for over 50 years on a variety of different substrates. During this time they have undergone a continual process of optimisation.
The perfect combination of properties:Durable, strong, hardwearing, impact resistant, malleable, weather resistant, colour stable and highly resistant to micro-organism. They are designed with good vapour permeability to allow the building to breathe while still repelling liquid water. All renders are easy to apply and can be tinted from the StoColor System or matched to the colour of your choice, using the Sto spectrometer.
