Rainscreen Systems
Finally, A Complete Rainscreen® System
Today’s rain screen façade panels are available in a variety of materials, shapes, and colors providing designers with nearly unlimited aesthetic options. But many are just that, a façade panel, and not a complete system.
Aesthetic Options

StoVentec™ Rainscreen® systems are different.
StoVentec™ Rainscreen® systems are complete, with all the system components – including the air and water-resistive barrier, thermal insulation, sub-construction and façade panel – engineered to perform together. And they offer the widest variety of aesthetic options available, including colors, shapes, textures, even glass – in a single source system backed by a 10-year system warranty.
StoVentec Render
StoVentec Render employs the same key components as StoVentec Glass to deliver superior performance. Render façade panels are field installed, flexible and easy to cut, making it simple to achieve unique architectural shapes including seam free curved surfaces. Sto’s wide variety of architectural finish systems, including unique StoSignature options, provide the broadest range of aesthetics available in a rainscreen system, allowing designers to create unique walls that perform seamlessly.
StoVentec® for masonry veneer facades
StoVentec for masonry veneer facades is a drained and back-ventilated, fully engineered Rainscreen wall system featuring a thin brick facade. This complete system incorporates continuous insulation, sub-construction and a continuous air and moisture barrier. Sto combines the globally proven performance of the StoVentec Rainscreen system with the durability of thin brick masonry veneer, offering building envelope designers the flexibility of form and function when integrating with Sto’s other engineered wall systems.
StoVentro™ Sub-construction system
The StoVentro sub-construction is an integral component of StoVentec systems. Safe and long-lasting, StoVentro absorbs both the wind loads and dead loads present on the facade. The sophisticated modular system fulfills specific structural and energy efficiency requirements and provides the best possible solutions for your projects. StoVentro Sub-construction supports a variety of façade claddings and is adjustable to allow for irregularities of substrates.
