Sto Corp. and Earthcraft House Partner Together
ATLANTA - (June 18, 2007) Sto Corp., the innovative world leader in cladding, coating, and restoration systems, is proud to announce that it has officially become a partner with EarthCraft House, the leading green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthy, comfortable homes.
Because EarthCraft House is charged with building better homes, Sto Corp. saw a perfect fit with StoGuard(TM), the spray-on house wrap that is clearly the best choice for waterproofing exterior wall protection. Sto knows that a tear proof, water proof house wrap will perform better than other types of wraps.
Sto has recently introduced two enhanced components to the system. StoGuard Fabric is a non-woven cloth reinforcement that is part of the StoGuard assembly and is used with either Sto Gold Coat® or Sto EmeraldCoat® to treat sheathing joints, inside and outside corners and rough openings.
StoGuard RediCorner is a pre-formed fabric piece used in the corners of the rough openings for quicker installation. This product translates into easy and consistent installation of protection in one of the most critical areas on any wall - the rough openings. Sto gives contractors a tool that can make their job easier by taking the guesswork out of making sure the openings are sufficiently protected.
StoGuard(TM) has proven successful in both residential and commercial applications for several years. It is currently available through several dedicated Sto distributors in the southeast.
"Sto wanted to partner with a strong organization concerned with environmental or "green" issues resulting in better homes," said Lisa Petsko, Sto product manager. "A major goal Sto has for this partnership is to provide builders with a way to differentiate their homes from their competition by using StoGuard(TM)."
Builders who recognize the role that a spray-on house wraps can play in creating efficient, energy efficient homes will offer their customers the best protection possible. One of the first EarthCraft homes using the StoGuard System is a home in Palmetto, Ga. Jason Jackoniski, owner of Arc & Angle Home builders, LLC, and member of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and Earth Craft House, saw the benefits of the system and was satisfied with the product as well as the installation process.
This first EarthCraft House using StoGuard was installed by Ernesto Media of Stucco and Masonry Renovators of Atlanta. Ernesto had such a positive experience working with the StoGuard product that he has recently branched out and created an all-Sto installation division of his business. He can be reached at 404-787-7037.
