Continuous Insulation (ci) Systems
June 27, 2016
The world-class building-science experts at Sto continue to lead the way in advancing energy efficiency, durability and aesthetic appeal. Today’s energy codes and regulations reflect many of the design principles embodied in our Continuous Insulation (ci) Systems, and the proven performance of Sto’s next-generation EIFS appeals to designers, contractors and owners alike.
StoTherm® ci Wall Systems (EIFS)
Integrated Wall Systems that deliver the best in performance, sustainability and design flexibility
Sto’s next-generation StoTherm® ci systems integrate the following key elements: continuous insulation (ci), an air/moisture barrier, drainage and a variety of textured finish options to create a superior, sustainable wall cladding. This high-performing, eye-catching system saves energy and stays attractive for years. StoTherm® ci improves indoor comfort and air quality while maintaining maximum curb appeal and lowering overall life-cycle costs.
System Features
High R-Value
Continuous insulation with high R-values provides significant energy cost savings by eliminating thermal bridging.
Code Approved
Complies with both ICC and IECC code requirements for continuous insulation.
Outbound Dew Point
Prevents condensation and freeze damage by placing the dew point outside the stud wall cavity.
Reduced Structural Loads
StoTherm® claddings are very lightweight, resulting in reduced structural cost requirements.
No Mechanical Fasteners
No penetrating nails or screws to attach the insulation means no thermal bridging.
Low Maintenance Cost
Coatings and finishes with advanced acrylic and Lotus-Effect technologies resist dirt pickup, peeling and cracking.
Lowest Life-Cycle Cost
StoTherm® ci claddings have the lowest life cycle costs compared to non-insulated brick and stucco claddings.
Premium Finishes & Coatings
Sto high performance finishes and coatings provide superior weatherability and resistance to UV fading, mold and mildew.
