Render Brick Construction
StoMiral / StoArmat Miral Plaster System - BRANZ Appraisal Certificate 515 (2007)
A Universally accepted Construction Element
Mankinds original use of fire and clay to create terracotta products has lead to the development of a diverse range of bricks and construction techniques. Today bricks are still produced in the original manner or manufactured by industrial kilns using the latest technology and chemical additives to enhance the quality and properties.
Using a minimum 40 mm cavity in New Zealand, render brick has proven to be a stable, durable and economical method of construction. Researching the unique properties of render brick construction and 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.
