Now, it has joined forces with insulation specialists Owens Corning and Dow to produce one of the most technically advanced exterior wall systems available. The resulting building-product raises the prospect of specifying something of a \u201choly grail\u201d for architects: exterior walls that look good, tick all the boxes when it comes to energy requirements and are cost-effective to boot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the first things that architects will notice about the StoTherm\u00ae ci XPS system is its design flexibility. Sto\u2019s multi-layered system offers a plethora of finishes from the natural look of raw materials to boldly colored finishes, giving architects the freedom to specify the right aesthetic for any client. \u201cOur finish coat can be easily tinted and shaped many different ways and allows for a variety of looks,\u201d said Sto Corp.\u2019s Pascal Kohl, \u201csuch as a traditional textured surface, smooth plaster, limestone, concrete, metal and many more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428509012Sto_2.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><i>Left: This Chicago, office block incorporated StoTherm\u00ae ci XPS to deliver a superior wall system that would reduce the carbon footprint of the building and lower energy costs.

As with any smart architectural product, the answer lies in the ingenious combination of high quality, technologically advanced materials. First, Dow\u2019s or Owens Corning\u2019s Insulation have a closed cell structure which helps prevent liquid movement through the material and provides exceptional thermal performance with an R-value of 5.0 per 1\u201d. This is adhered to the insulation board with the use of Sto TurboStickTM, a unique polyurethane spray foam adhesive that prevents thermal bridging by eliminating mechanical fasteners.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the system is layered with Sto\u2019s Mesh, BTS Xtra Base Coat and the optional Primer to provide durability behind the finish layer. This optimal sandwich of materials delivers exceptional air and moisture control, as well as meeting the latest building code requirements for energy efficiency in continuous insulation and fire testing. It\u2019s also incredibly hard-wearing. \u201cThe system is designed to be durable,\u201d said Kohl, \u201cincorporating unprecedented impact resistance that exceeds IBC and IECC codes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1508428588721Sto_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><i>While producing an airtight and water-managed, thermally-efficient wall assembly, the StoTherm\u00ae ci XPS system also offers a myriad of aesthetic choices.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This sounds ideal, but the inevitable question then follows for architects \u2014 how can such a high-performance product be economical enough to consider specifying it?
