StoArmat Render System
For James Hardie™ EasyLap™ Panel Construction
Overview
The StoArmat Render System has been specifically tested and detailed for application over James Hardie EasyLap Panel. StoArmat, a cement-free, high-impact render with exceptional flexibility over standard cement-based plasters, ensures optimal system reinforcement and longevity for fibre cement sheet construction. Complemented by a range of Stolit coloured finishing renders for a completely weathertight facade solution, ensuring individual style and project requirements are satisfied.

StoArmat Render System
StoArmat is a BRANZ appraised exterior render system that provides the optimal protection and durability for fibre cement sheet construction. Before the system can be applied the surface is sealed. StoArmat render reinforced with Sto glass fibre mesh is then applied over the EasyLap Panels and joints, providing engineered reinforcement to reliably dissipate tensile, seismic and shear stress. Finished with perfectly interlocking components: Stolit fibre-reinforced coloured finishing render plus StoColor; creating a 4mm weather tight reinforcement system for reliability and protection that surpasses the facade durability requirements.
Installations are carried out by a Sto Registered Licensed Building Practitioner with the added protection of a StoArmat 15 Year Warranty and StoService Assurance, guaranteeing building code compliant materials are used and application meets building code standards, including a service plan for long-term security.
