Although outdoor building materials may vary greatly – from render and concrete to sheet metal – all materials that are constantly exposed to weathering need one thing: long-term moisture protection. There is now a single paint that can provide this protection on virtually all standard substrates: StoColor Dryonic diverts rain and condensation away in a targeted manner thanks to its microtextured surface, ensuring a clean and dry surface without the need for biocidal film protection.

In terms of being able to absorb moisture from the air and release it again, the StoCalce Functio mineral regulating plaster system even surpasses loam plasters by over 50 per cent. It forms the basis of a scientifically tested lime product system which is proven to improve the ambient interior climate of new and existing buildings thanks to its natural components.

In the Netherlands, as elsewhere, measures are being introduced to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings. A small brick building from the 1970s on a residential estate in Tilburg has been fitted with facade insulation, new windows, new heating and ventilation, and photovoltaics to ensure it is fit for the next fifty years.

Ventilated rainscreen cladding systems provide excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation, and design variety. They range from seamlessly rendered carrier boards (StoVentec R) to glass panel facades with accentuated joints (StoVentec Glass) and photovoltaic systems (StoVentec ARTline).
