Architects and designers often face time constraints and complex project requirements that make material selection challenging. Inconsistent technical documentation and unclear comparisons between various systems only exacerbate the problem.
At Sto, technology is at the core of virtually everything we do. With this specification, our goal is to provide integrated digital tools and support resources that help architects, designers and specifiers easily and efficiently identify, evaluate and specify Sto systems.
Specification Made Easier
You want to find and specify the right product or system for the right project. We want to help. That’s why we offer a broad range of digital tools. These resources reduce guesswork and shorten the specification timeline, moving you from concept to submittal-ready documentation with fewer steps.
Here is a quick overview of our most popular tools.
Aesthetic+Product Selector
If you have a desired aesthetic in mind right out of the gate, our Aesthetic+Product Selector is a great place to start. This helpful tool identifies the Sto solutions that are compatible with that aesthetic, guiding you to the products and systems that will allow you to make your vision a reality.
Documentation Center (Sto Specifications & Details and Guides)
When you’re specifying, you need information at your fingertips. For accuracy and peace of mind, our documentation center is a hub for product data sheets, systems documents and guide details, tested assemblies and code compliance documentation.
Product Finder
Maybe you’re familiar with Sto products and systems and know exactly what you’re looking for, or maybe you’re just in a browsing mode. Either way, our product finder lets you quickly and easily search Sto’s library of products, systems and solutions.
Design Assistance
Need assistance with your design? Sto offers both online design assistance through StoInspire, where you can upload an image and apply Sto architectural surfaces to create your own unique design. Or, if you prefer, reach out to our team at Sto Studio to collaborate with you to create a complete façade concept.
Finish Selector Tool
Every project deserves a beautiful finish. Our finish selector tools allow you to browse all our finishes by texture, aesthetic and system compatibility, so you can zero in on the one that’s going to finish the project in style.
Sto Wall Selector
The Sto® Wall Selector has been designed to help you quickly find Sto wall systems that best suit your project needs. From superior performance and sustainability to inspired aesthetics, the perfect wall is just a few clicks away.
Support Services
Sto’s staff of experienced professionals are always available to provide personalized service and support. Plan review, mockups, field support and technical help are just a few of the services we provide.
eSubmittal
Not only do we help you determine the best systems for your project and assist you with design, but we also help you create your submittal package, so your proposal is clear, accurate and professional.
Resource Hubs Sto
Offers easy access to product and system information through content resource pages. These pages consolidate all content for a category from brochures, videos, product and system bulletins, products, color charts, specifications, blogs, guides, Tech Hotlines and safety data sheets on one page. For example, content resource pages are available for Sto Architectural Surfaces, EIFS, Stucco, AWRB, Prefabrication and Rainscreen.
Getting Started
These tools sound great, but there are so many that you might be unsure where to begin. Let’s take it one step at a time.
- Start with performance and aesthetic goals (e.g., rainscreen vs. EIFS, prefabrication vs. field-applied). If you’re unsure, use the Sto Wall Selector to help with system selection. Once you’ve identified your goals, you’re ready to move on to step two.
- Now, use the Aesthetic+Product Selector to explore compatible combinations of systems and finishes.
- You’ve found a system and finish that looks promising. Great! Now, download specifications, details and product data sheets directly from stocorp.com.
- Finally, connect with your local Sto representative for assistance with samples and mock-ups. We’re going to make your vision shine.
