First in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)

Sto developed the first Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) in the early 1960s and has become the experts in exterior thermal insulation systems (EIFS). Today, building science experts agree that continuous exterior insulation such as EIFS is the most effective way to insulate the building envelope for energy savings. While the terms stucco and EIFS are sometimes used interchangeably, EIFS features insulating properties, among many other additional benefits. In addition to cladding systems, Sto offers many more high performance coatings, fluid applied membrane products for air barriers, moisture barriers and waterproofing protection and facade repair products.
