StoArmat Render System

StoArmat is a BRANZ appraised exterior render system that provides the optimal protection and durability for Knauf Permarock® construction. Before the system can be applied the surface is sealed and all joints are then flushed using StoArmat render embedded with Sto Jointing mesh for reinforcement. StoArmat render and glass fibre mesh is then applied over the full substrate, providing engineered reinforcement to reliably dissipate tensile, seismic and shear stress. Finished with perfectly interlocking components: Stolit fibre-reinforced coloured finishing render plus StoColor; creating a 4mm weather tight reinforcement system for reliability and protection that surpasses the facade durability requirements.

Installations are carried out by a Sto Registered Licensed Building Practitioner with the added protection of a StoArmat 15 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.

Finishes

Stolit: Coloured Finishing Renders

Stolit organic finishing renders are manufactured in Germany incorporating the latest technology; certified globally and successfully applied to rendered substrates in every climatic zone for over 50 years.

The Stolit range provides the perfect combination of properties: durable, strong, hard-wearing, impact-resistant, malleable, weather-resistant, colour-stable and highly resistant to microorganisms. In addition, its vapour permeability allows your building to breathe while still repelling water.

Facade Paints

The StoColor finish, a serviceable coating embodying intelligent technology for a range of surface functions to compliment the architectural structure and design. The StoColor System, with 800 shades or matched to any colour using the Sto Spectrometer, provides a clear framework and systematic approach to colour based on integrated layers, combining texture and colour for aesthetic appeal.
