The Sto Group is among the largest global suppliers of façade insulation systems and holds a leading position in the Czech market. The Sto brand with its unmistakable yellow bucket offers a range of insulation products in the area of thermal insulation including the StoTherm (ETICS) contact insulation systems, the ventilated StoVentec systems, and the StoTherm In internal insulation systems, catering to all individual requirements and conditions while maintaining the highest technical reliability.
The key to Sto's current position is also its people and their experience from hundreds to thousands of projects in the field of insulation. The advantages of all Sto insulation systems are the properties of the individual products, long lifespan, easy installation, and countless surface finish options. "According to the visions and needs of the investor and architect, we will select and deliver perfectly coordinated components and systems that meet their priorities," says Eng. Pavel Toman, Technical Director of Sto s.r.o.
StoTherm Contact Insulation Systems
The position of the most successful façade system in the world belongs to the StoTherm Classic. This highly mechanically resistant "classic" among insulation systems, composed of organic plasters and coatings along with EPS boards or mineral wool, has developed in 50 years into a product that not only surpasses its competitors with its properties and easy processing but also with exceptionally high reliability. Another contact system - the mineral composition of plasters with rigid foam polystyrene boards StoTherm Vario - also holds a distinction: it is the best-selling contact insulation system of Sto. Due to its good quality/price ratio, it has been widely used in recent years, especially for insulating panel buildings.
The StoTherm Mineral system is a diffusively open non-flammable contact insulation system, primarily designed for buildings with increased fire safety requirements. The StoTherm Wood system is primarily intended for wooden constructions. Thanks to wood fiber thermal insulation boards, it presents an ecological system that is diffusively open when combined with a top mineral plaster.
StoVentec Prefabricated Ventilated Insulation Systems
The prefabricated ventilated insulation systems StoVentec ensure ideal thermal-technical parameters and reliable building protection in every season. Thanks to ventilation, these systems offer diffusively open solutions that are optimal for older buildings. Equally important is the acoustic effect - the prefabricated façade systems StoVentec improve the acoustic parameters of the structure by up to 10 dB. The systems are ideal for use in solid construction as well as in lightweight constructions such as wooden buildings or modular constructions. The StoVentec systems allow for the use of up to 30 cm of insulation, making them suitable for passive house structures. The supporting structure made of stainless steel or aluminum allows for the design of any shape and form of the façade, with anchoring also possible on wooden structures.
The prefabricated ventilated insulation system offers, alongside its indisputable thermal-technical advantages, a seamless surface finish that can be combined with various surface finishes. In the Sto range, these include plasters (StoVentec R), natural stone (StoVentec S), ceramic cladding (StoVentec C), glass mosaic (StoVentec M), and glass (StoVentec G). Façades meeting the highest demands for appearance and durability can also be realized using systems with visible joints - with panels made of natural stone (VeroStone Massive) or glass panels (StoVentec Glass). In the StoVentec system, it remains true: those who insulate do not need to give up individuality. The limits that hold us back with contact insulation systems do not apply to StoVentec.
Internal Insulation Systems
Insulation pays off in many ways. Properly insulating your home not only saves on heating costs but also protects the environment. As a complement to façade insulation, we offer internal insulation systems for historic buildings or where façade insulation is not possible. The ceiling insulation system StoTherm KD is designed not only for industrial purposes, ensuring adequate thermal insulation of ceilings over unheated spaces. The mineral internal insulation system StoTherm In Comfort is biologically harmless, moisture-resistant, and characterized by excellent thermal insulation properties. The core of this system is a thermal insulation board made of perlite. Purely mineral volcanic aggregate exhibits the best thermal insulation properties, is non-flammable, and fully recyclable. StoTherm In Aevero is distinguished not only by its unusual functionality but also by excellent space gain. This has been achieved by using the Sto-Aevero-Innendämmplatte insulation board with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.017 W/(mK). This unusually low thermal conductivity has allowed the development of an innovative and ultra-thin internal insulation system.
Sto offers numerous combinations of decorative surface finishes for each insulation system, which do not come solely from a selection of color shades. This allows for effective insulation of both historic and modern buildings while sensitively expressing their history and uniqueness. Architectural façade elements, profiles, surface coverings, claddings, plinths, natural stone, and also glass always guarantee the reliability, quality, and long-lasting durability of Sto systems.
