Waterproof Air Barriers

Protection
StoGuard – Air barriers are required in building walls, regardless of region or climate. StoGuard’s continuous, fluid-applied waterproof air barrier membrane bonds directly to sheathing or other substrates to resist air and water penetration.

Moisture Barrier – StoGuard is a moisture barrier that protects against the damaging effects of incidental water that can enter and damage wall components.

Vapor Diffusion – Sto’s system aids in preventing water vapor from getting trapped inside walls.

StoGuard, part of the StoEnergy Guard product family of advanced cavity wall systems.
