Air and Moisture Barriers

Sto offers a full range of air barriers and moisture barrier products to protect your building from moisture intrusion and air leakage. According to Energy Star, sealing the building envelope is one of the most cost effective ways to increase the energy efficiency of a building. Installing air barrier systems delivers significant energy savings in both hot and cold climates, and helps improve indoor air quality. Sto's fluid applied membrane is an air barrier and wall moisture barrier that is structural and continuous. StoGuard products have ICC regognition and have been ASTM E-2357 tested.

The use of air barriers in building and construction is an important part of sustainable building design, and is a required component in many green building rating systems and building codes, including LEED, Energy Star, NAHB, ASHRAE 90.1 and ASHRAE 189, IECC (International Energy Conservation Code), and the new IGC (International Green Code).
