Why choose Sto rendering products?
Sto is the first company to develop and use synthetic renders for commercial use. Synthetic render has an acrylic or silicone base which is thin, durable and has a vast range of other benefits too.
Flexible
Sto render can be applied to a range of different subsides, from concrete to stone and other rendered surfaces.
Durable
Sto render is highly flexible and has much better resistance to cracks, in comparison to cement-based renders.
Prevention of algae
The growth of algae, fungus and other matter can be an ongoing annoyance and problem for property owners, it’s unattractive and means that your render will need to be professionally cleaned more often. Sto has recently invested in a finish that creates a surface that sheds water and dirt off of it - making it impossible for fungus and algae to be created on the surface.
Is Sto Render Breathable?
When a surface is ‘breathable’ this refers to the extent to which a building can transmit moisture. So, a ‘breathable’ property is permeable, where water can evaporate efficiently and rapidly.
Sto render has a specific formula that allows good breathability. This means that mould growth, cracking and discolouration is not as likely and it also provides good insulation which means your heating bills will be cut, and you’ll save some money.
