Description

The StoPoren Brick Veneer Cladding System is designed to be used as an external cladding system for residential and light commercial type buildings where domestic construction techniques are used. 

The system consists of autoclaved aerated concrete bricks (Poren bricks) installed using ties to form a 40-75 mm cavity. 

The coating system consists of a nominal 5 mm thick cement-based render applied to the Poren bricks, an approximate 2.5 mm thick coat of fibreglass mesh reinforced synthetic resin render (StoArmat render system only), and an approximate 1-3 mm thick coat of coloured finishing render.  The render system is finished with a Sto coating.
