One of the World’s Most Advanced Rainscreen Systems
This advanced rainscreen system features StoGuard® Air and Water-resistive Barrier (AWRB), exterior insulation, and design flexibility, functionality, and innovation with rainscreen design benefits that add lasting weather protection and superior value. StoVentro sub-construction provides a structural system that carries the dead load of the cladding and resists wind load.
Fully tested and compliant with the most stringent green construction codes, StoGuard® systems are an ideal choice for design professionals who wish to employ one continuous, fully compatible air and water-resistive barrier system for all exterior walls on multi-cladding buildings.
Pre-Engineered Solutions for Easier Installation
Pre-engineered means you provide us with your design pressure requirements, and we deliver an easy-to-install, high-performance rainscreen system. The pre-engineered installation design includes options for high, medium, and low wind-pressure applications, eliminating the need for extensive engineering and streamlining installation, ensuring optimal results with minimal effort. Plus, you don’t have to worry about piecing together a solution and then figuring out how to make all the components work together. Our system is designed to work cohesively as a single unit.
Innovative Fiber Cement Panels for Maximum Durability
The StoVentec Fiber Cement Panels Grade IV panels offer higher flexural strength than most current fiber cement panels on the market, making them more resistant to moisture, impact, and damage. They are ideal for high wind loads and humid climates. In contrast, Grade II panels may have limitations for certain building heights or applications due to reduced strength and durability.
Panels are available in 4’ x 8’ or 4’ x 10’ with thicknesses of 8 or 10 mm and may be installed vertically or horizontally, with visible or concealed attachments, and can be fabricated into virtually any shape or size, providing design flexibility for both facades and interiors.
Distinct Color Collections for Creative Freedom
Two unique color collections are available to further enhance creative possibilities.
- The Primara Line features a grey-bodied core with an opaque surface finish, offering a smooth texture with a light sanded grain, providing subtle depth and a refined look.
- The Strata Line, designed with a pigmented core and an opaque finish, delivers an ultra-smooth texture with a delicate linear effect, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic.
The system allows you to achieve striking, lasting designs for contemporary facades or artistic interiors.
A Complete System Backed by Sto’s Single-Sourced Warranty
