February 5, 2025

Sto Corp. announced the launch of StoVentec® Fiber Cement Rainscreen® System, a complete ventilated rainscreen cladding system that blends sustainability, design freedom, and performance.

The StoVentec Fiber Cement Rainscreen System is an advanced system that offers superior thermal performance, fire protection, and weather resistance. Its features include non-combustible continuous insulation, a weather-tight air and water-resistive barrier, and high-density, non-combustible fiber cement panels. Engineered to minimize thermal bridging, the system enhances energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Its durable components and precision engineering ensure long-lasting performance backed by Sto's single-sourced warranty.

The StoVentec Fiber Cement Rainscreen System offers unmatched versatility, blending customizable dimensions with curated color collections to meet diverse architectural needs. Panels are available in sizes up to 4' x 10' (1220 x 3050mm) and thicknesses of 8-10 mm and can be cut into virtually any shapes or size providing design flexibility for both facades and interiors. Additionally, two distinct color collections to further enhance creative possibilities. The Primara Line features a grey-bodied core with an opaque surface finish, offering a smooth texture with a light sanded grain, providing subtle depth and a refined look. The Strata Line, designed with a pigmented core and an opaque finish, delivers an ultra-smooth texture with a delicate linear effect, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic.

"StoVentec Fiber Cement Rainscreen System meets the growing demand for both customizable aesthetic and functional excellence in modern construction," said David Hohenstern, StoVentec R&D Manager at Sto Corp. "Plus, it integrates seamlessly into new construction and retrofit projects."

For added efficiency, Sto offers pre-engineered solutions tailored to project-specific design pressure requirements. These prescriptive assemblies streamline installation and provide cost transparency, ensuring optimal results with minimal effort.
