Lightweight Stucco Cavity System on Fibre Cement Sheet.
Stucco dating back to the application of mixed clay plasters in pre Biblical times, has traditionally been used to decorate and protect buildings. Embracing this concept with the latest technology and selected additives, Stoanz has specifically engineered the StoLite System, a lightweight Stucco on backerboard which offers a proprietary system to clad timber framed construction.
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.

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.
