Sto Technical Report 01-07.1 "StoGuard®: Development of Durability Requirements for Canada and Compliance" (January, 2007)
This report describes testing of StoGuard™ for CCMC compliance as a waterproofing and air barrier material as well as its drainage performance under EIFS. The testing proved how durable StoGuard™ is even after extreme abuse, outperforming other waterproofing / air barrier materials. The testing also showed how well EIFS with vertical ribbons of adhesive drain, again outperforming all other claddings tested.
Sto Technical Report 01-07.2 "StoGuard™: Demonstration of Hygrothermal Performance through Computer Modeling at Oak Ridge National Laboratory" (July, 2007)
This report describes research conducted by ORNL which highlights the effectiveness of StoGuard™ as a moisture protection component in wall assemblies. Hygrothermal modelling is used to characterize the performance of 4 wall assemblies in 11 cities over a 2 year period.
Sto Technical Report 01-07.3 "StoGuard®: Testing for International Building Code Compliance and Comparison to Sheet Water-Resistive Barrier Products" (December, 2007)
This report describes testing of StoGuard™ for ICC-ES compliance as a waterproofing and air barrier material as well as its performance compared to sheet products. StoGuard™ demonstrated excellent performance as a waterproofing / air barrier material and has several advantages over sheet products.
