NEW Sto Fireblocking Solution to Meet 2022 New York City Building Code

Matching Finishes in Renovation Projects: Brick, Wood, and More

Renovations can restore a property to its original prestige or even give it an entirely new look. But renovations do come with challenges. There’s the most obvious: weathering and discoloration caused by years of exposure to the elements. There is also inconsistent masonry and carpentry due to decades of repair work. There can also be mismatched colors, textures, and materials that are outdated, often due to partial restorations. All these challenges can add up to increased costs, construction delays, and aesthetic compromises. But they don’t have to.

One of the biggest challenges with renovations is matching and blending existing finishes with new, modern facades. StoCast Brick and StoCast Wood offer a suite of solutions to create seamless, one-of-a-kind exteriors, despite the challenge of existing finishes. Here’s how.

StoCast Brick Delivers a Classic Brick Aesthetic that Looks Like the Real Thing

StoCast Brick Samples

Whether you have an existing façade that you want to accent with a different color or texture, or match the existing façade, StoCast Brick is the perfect solution.

Custom-made resin cast bricks that are lightweight, flexible, easy to apply, and durable, StoCast Brick is available in 30 standard colors, patterns, and textures or custom, project-specific colors. StoCast Brick is the ideal solution when the project calls for either a traditional or customized “classic” brick look.

The benefits of StoCast Brick include:

  • Custom-cast, hand-finished aesthetic
  • Lightweight, flexible bricks ideal for retrofit
  • A wide range of colors and patterns to match existing brickwork.
  • Custom, project-specific match available

StoCast Brick looks so much like real brick that even when using it side by side with real brick, it’s hard to tell that it isn’t real brick.

StoCast Wood Delivers a Real Wood Aesthetic with More Creative Possibilities

StoCast Wood Samples

Maybe you’re looking to add the texture and warmth of wood to sections of a façade. Consisting of lightweight, flexible, resin-cast wood-grain planks, StoCast Wood creates an authentic wood appearance that mimics nature’s textures while incorporating enhanced performance features. The planks are easy to apply and can be stained with StoColor® Wood Stain in a wide range of colors in glossy or matte finish. Additionally, they may be coated with any of Sto’s high-performance architectural coatings. StoCast is a durable, realistic and low-maintenance alternative to natural or engineered wood cladding.

The creative freedom offered by StoCast Wood truly is limitless. The stain options alone allow you to dial in the precise hue and shade you’re looking for. StoColor Wood Stain is an acrylic-based topcoat that has a dual function, that of a sealer and a stain. It provides superior UV protection for long-lasting colors. With 25 standard colors and the possibility for custom colors, designers will enjoy the creative freedom to follow their inspiration.

StoCast – The Perfect Choice for Renovations

Renovations can be challenging. StoCast makes renovations easier by helping you create a modern façade that performs as incredibly as it looks.

Here are just a few reasons you should consider using StoCast for your next renovation project:

Durability

  • Resists cracking, fading, and moisture penetration.
  • Compatible with Sto’s full system for enhanced performance.

Design Flexibility

  • Customizable to match historic or regional styles.
  • Seamlessly integrates into partial facade replacements.

Installation Benefits

  • Lightweight and easy to apply over existing surfaces.
  • Reduces downtime and labor costs compared to traditional materials.

StoCast resin cast finishes are ideal for multi-cladding designs and may be used over prepared vertical grade concrete, concrete masonry(CMU), and stucco walls, ceilings, and soffits or prepared interior gypsum wallboard.
