StoTherm Insulation for Timber
or Steel Frame
Insulation Systems for Cavity Construction
Overview
StoTherm Insulation is an exterior insulating and finishing system (EIFS) for timber or steel frame construction. Consisting of 40 to 100mm and over thick EPS StoTherm Panels or Sto Therm+ Panels which increase R-values by up to a further 20% for better energy efficiency and savings.
Sto, a world leader in manufacturing insulated render systems has provided over 150 million square metres of insulated cladding to date and has been tried and tested in every climate around the world for proven insulation performance.

StoTherm Armat Insulation System
The StoTherm Armat Insulation System, installed on timber or steel frame, consists of EPS StoTherm Insulation Panels fixed with anchors which avoid thermal bridging.
The StoTherm panels are basecoat with Levell Novo render to straighten any irregularities. Followed by StoArmat render and glass fibre mesh, 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 registered Sto Contractor with the added protection of a StoArmat 15 or 20 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.
