Remedial Plaster
StoArmat Remedial Plaster System
Efficient Crack Addressment
New Zealand with its windy moist marine environment and a predominance of timber frame constructed residences is exposed to the leaky house syndrome. With the advent of insulation, absorbent building wraps, kiln dry timber, lack of build details and the change in the construction industry from the traditional architect/master-builder to a rush of speculators and property companies, focused on realising quick profits. The New Zealand housing stock has suffered a significant number of failures.
Researching the vigorous demands of remedial works, Sto's technical staff have developed the StoArmat reinforcement plaster and incorporated it into a facade system by pursuing innovative technology to meet ecologically acceptable standards. Using this approach Sto has also developed a comprehensive range of finishing renders and solutions to enable the specifiers to select an individual solution to meet the project requirements.

The Removal of Failed or Compressed Joints.
StoArmat Remedial plaster system indicating the removal of failed or compressed joints, is a well engineered solution providing a ten year warranty for crack addressment repairs. Before the system can be applied all the failed joints are stripped out and reinstalled using StoArmat embedded with Sto Jointing mesh to reinforce them. Then a full StoArmat RFP meshed reinforcement plaster incorporating micro fibres is applied providing reinforcement, strength and durability and interlocking with the existing fibre cement sheet componentry. Finished in Stolit K finishing render and Sto facade paint. This European manufactured and certified plaster system is breathable, fracture and impact resistant, to provide a modern contemporary facade engineered to last the distance.

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.
