StoLite Stucco System
A Lightweight Stucco Cavity System on Fibre Cement Sheet
Overview
The StoLite System is a lightweight Stucco on backing board which offers a proprietary system to clad timber framed construction. By selecting the appropriate fibre cement sheet, the strength, bracing and acoustic properties of the exterior can be adjusted to meet the site conditions. A cavity allows for a dry zone between the interior and exterior claddings with the backing board coated in a Sto Render System of your choice.

StoLite Stucco System
A BRANZ appraised high performance system to provide exceptional crack resistance and weather protection. The fibre cement sheet backing board includes a basecoat 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.
