Sto Innovates With Stolit® Lotusan® EIFS Exterior Textured Finish



Stolit® Lotusan® Brings Unmatched Performance to StoTherm Lotusan NExT(TM)

ATLANTA - (April 30, 2009) Sto Corp., the innovative world leader in cladding, coating, and restoration systems, has announced the release of Stolit Lotusan, the latest exterior textured finish for StoTherm Insulated Wall Cladding..

Through rigorous research and development, Sto has successfully mimicked nature by combining biology and technology in an innovative manner to produce this new exterior textured finish with the Lotus-Effect®. Stolit Lotusan is a unique lasting finish that helps buildings preserve their fresh looks longer than standard finishes.

Why Stolit Lotusan?

o The only exterior finish with the patented Lotus-Effect technology

o Self-cleaning properties provide long-lasting curb appeal with reduced maintenance requirements

o Super hydrophobic qualities repel water which keep surface drier and more resistant to mold, mildew, and algae than standard finishes

o Available in a variety of textures and colors providing design freedom

"Replicating the lotus plant's ability to send rain drops rolling off its leaves, Stolit Lotusan exterior finish resists dirt pick-up while keeping walls clean and attractive," said Mike O'Neil, Sto product manager. "Simply put, exterior walls finished with Stolit Lotusan are cleansed by rainfall."

With this important debut, the choice for StoTherm Systems and accompanying finishes gets even better than before:

Good - StoTherm Essence NExT System (includes StoGuard spray-on building wrap)

Better - StoTherm Classic NExT System (includes StoGuard spray-on building wrap)

Best - StoTherm Lotusan NExT System (includes StoGuard spray-on building wrap)

Stolit Lotusan is the latest innovative addition to the Sto Corp. product line up that started when Sto introduced the StoCoat Lotusan coating to the US market in 2005.
