StoVentec Render is an innovative rainscreen cladding solution that improves building performance with economical construction. This system features a ventilated cavity for effective drainage, continuous insulation for energy efficiency and sound dampening, and a unique carrier board that enables the creation of curved surfaces. With Sto’s diverse finishes, architects and designers can easily achieve their desired aesthetic. The system also comes pre-engineered, simplifying installation and saving time. As part of a comprehensive rainscreen system, StoVentec Render is tested, proven, and trusted from a single source supplier.
Finally, A Complete Rainscreen System
There are so many components to a rainscreen system that it can feel complex. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. StoVentec Render is unlike most rainscreen solutions. In addition to being one of the most advanced, thoroughly tested systems on the market, it can simplify life for the architect, the applicator, the general contractor, and the building owner.
The most apparent difference between StoVentec Render and other solutions is that StoVentec® is a complete system, with all the components – including the air and water-resistive barrier, thermal insulation, sub-construction, carrier board, and a wide variety of architectural finishes, textures, shapes, and colors.
Since Sto manufactures all these components, coordination and construction are easier. After all, you are dealing with one company instead of four or five different suppliers. Plus, StoVentec Render is covered by a single 10-year system warranty.
StoVentec Render: An Ideal Blend of Art, Economics and Performance
StoVentec Render combines rainscreen technology with Sto’s well-known, tested, and trusted line of architectural finishes, including StoCast resin cast shapes and unique StoSignature options. Our beautiful finishes allow you to create a smooth, textured, or patterned surface.
These finishes, which also have waterproofing and fire-rating qualities, are applied directly onto the StoVentec Carrier Board- a lightweight, flexible, and impact-resistant glass composite board that can span up to 82 feet without architectural breaks.
The combination of the StoVentec Carrier Board and StoVentro sub-construction allows for the creation of unique curved surfaces, removing the barriers to the artistry of form and shape.
Designing your entire façade is easy with StoColor. The StoColor System is a unique planning tool for using color in architecture. It can be used with StoVentec to create customizable aesthetics. By integrating StoColor finishes and StoCast, you can make a one-of-a-kind exterior design.
To explore the possibilities, see the StoVentec Render Design Guide.
StoCast Looks So Real, It’s Unreal
Another design possibility is StoCast. The StoCast products are flexible, prefabricated resin-cast shapes that celebrate traditional façade textures while integrating enhanced performance functionality.
StoCast Wood features resin-cast wood grain planks that create an authentic wood appearance. Achieving the desired finish is easy when using any of the 25 standard colors available in StoColor Wood Stain.
Free of both dust and silica, StoCast Brick offers 30 standard bricks or project-specific colors, patterns, and textures. StoCast Brick is ideal when the project calls for a traditional or customized “classic” brick look.
Both products are more lightweight and durable than their traditional counterparts, minimizing time and energy in transportation and installation and allowing for greater conservation of natural material resources.
A Durable, Sustainable Solution
StoVentec Render is a high-quality system designed for durability. All system components working together will improve building performance significantly, saving short-term and long-term energy. StoVentec Render Rainscreen walls perform well because they effectively manage moisture by preventing most precipitation from entering the wall and allowing convective air movement within the air gap to promote drying.
All of this depends on an effective air barrier to keep outdoor air out and indoor air in. Sto AirSeal fluid-applied water-resistive barrier is vapor permeable, offers 500% elongation, meets the requirements of ASTM C1305 Low-Temperature Crack Bridging Test, and provides building code compliance confirmed by ICC-ESR 1233. It is suitable for all substrates, from porous lightweight CMU to gypsum and wood-based sheathing.
Insulation is also a critical component. StoVentec Render uses mineral wool, an effective, noncombustible insulation that can reduce sound by up to 10db.
Tested and Proven
Since the early 2000s, millions of square feet of StoVentec Rainscreen wall systems have been installed on countless buildings across Europe. What’s more, StoVentec Render is tested and proven. This outstanding system meets or exceeds all the following building codes and requirements:
- NFP285 (fire testing)
- ASTM E330 (structural performance)
- AAMA 509 (testing standard for drained and back-ventilated rainscreen cladding related to the interaction of the AWRB airtightness and the resistance to water penetration through the wall cladding system)
- Miami-Dade NOA for large and small missile impact resistance
What Does Pre-Engineered Mean?
Pre-engineered means you provide us with your design pressure requirements, and we deliver an easy-to-install, high-performance StoVentec Render rainscreen system. The pre-engineered installation design includes options for high, medium, and low wind-pressure applications, eliminating the need for extensive engineering. 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. We even have a quick-start guide that includes all the essential information you’ll need from start to finish. Pre-engineered makes the project easier for everyone.
