• Option 1 is a multiple layer coating system that is recommended when the walls are straight and flat with little leveling needed. This option uses Sto base coat, reinforcing mesh, an optional Sto Primer, and a choice of Sto finishes.

• Option 2 utilizes Sto’s Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) and is recommended when the walls have a greater need for leveling. This option adds additional Sto insulation to the exterior and includes the use of reinforcing mesh, an optional Sto Primer, and one of the many EIFS finishes offered by Sto.

• Option 3 is the choice when the job calls for finishing the walls with a harder finish, like Sto Powerwall® Stucco. It incorporates a metal lath, Sto Powerwall® Stucco, Sto Primer, and a Sto Powerwall® finish, a ready mixed, flexible textured wall coating used as a decorative and protective wall coating.

There are many available Sto textures for ICF systems currently on the market including Fine, Medium, Swirl, Freeform Custom, Limestone, Granitex, Decocoat, and mottled.

Sto’s unique internal design consultative group, Sto Studio, is available to help by providing architectural renderings of possible color options to assist you, as the contractor or as the owner, in achieving the desired look.

“The great look of Sto and the ICF concept is a natural partnership,” said Sto Product Manager Mike O’Neil. “Sto can get you the look you want in a variety of finish systems, colors, and textures.”
