EPS / ICF / Polystyrene Block Construction

Overview

EPS / ICF / Polystyrene block construction is a snap together hollow block, constructed for a reinforced concrete mass masonry core that is pored into the supported EPS block walls. An established method in the New Zealand construction industry, combining the values and properties of diverse materials.

EPS / ICF / Polystyrene block is light, quick and easy in its installation, giving the designer the ability to form straight and curved walls with exceptional insulation and acoustic properties. The StoArmat Render System is fracture, impact resistant and engineered to provide optimal protection and finish with warranty, to compliment, protect and enhance this building element.

StoArmat Miral Render System

A BRANZ appraised high performance system to provide exceptional crack resistance and weather protection. Application includes a basecoat with LevelLite 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 or StoClear; creating a 4mm weather tight reinforcement system for reliability and protection that surpasses the facade durability requirements.

Application is carried out by a Sto Registered Contractor (Licensed Building Practitioner) and comes with the added protection of a StoArmat 15 or 20 Year Warranty with StoService Assurance, ensuring the materials used and application, meets building code standards, including a service plan for long-term performance.

Finishes

Stolit: Coloured Finishing Renders

Stolit organic finishing renders are manufactured in Germany incorporating the latest technology; certified globally and successfully applied to rendered substrates in every climatic zone for over 50 years.

The Stolit range provides the perfect combination of properties: durable, strong, hard-wearing, impact-resistant, malleable, weather-resistant, colour-stable and highly resistant to microorganisms. In addition, its vapour permeability allows your building to breathe while still repelling water.

Facade Coatings

StoColor facade paints and StoClear sealers are a range of a serviceable coatings embodying intelligent technology for a range of surface functions to compliment the architectural structure and design. The StoColor System with 1000 shades, AC Architectural Colors, or matched to any colour using the Sto Spectrometer, provides a clear framework and systematic approach to colour based on integrated layers, combining texture and colour for aesthetic appeal.
