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.
Permeable air barriers allow moisture vapor to pass through the membrane.
Impermeable (Vapor Barriers) air barriers block moisture vapor as well as air.
Determining whether you need a permeable or impermeable air barrier primarily depends on climate and wall design. Please see our StoGuard Handbook for more information on this topic.
