Sto Corp., the innovative world leader in full system facades, prefabrication, air barriers, coatings, and restoration solutions, has recently introduced StoTherm ci Mineral, the only U.S. decorative and protective high-performance exterior wall system with the unique advantages of mineral wool. Developed by Sto Corp. in collaboration with Owens Corning, the StoTherm ci Mineral system combines the fire and thermal advantages of mineral wool with the design flexibility and performance of Sto exterior wall systems.
StoTherm ci Mineral goes well beyond the NFPA 285 standard with enhanced fire protection for improved occupant safety. With a continuous exterior thermal control layer that resists fire and temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees for more than five hours, StoTherm ci Mineral easily passes as a two-hour fire rated assembly. The StoTherm ci Mineral system has outstanding heat-transfer characteristics for occupant comfort and is the only non-combustible insulation EIFS in the U.S.
