Life-Cycle Study of Sto Engineered Cladding Systems vs.Typical Brick and Stucco Cladding

A recent life-cycle inventory conducted by Franklin Associates/ERG in April 2009 shows that Sto Corp. engineered cladding systems, especially StoTherm NExT, outperform other wall claddings over a full 50-year product life. Comparisons with typical brick and stucco in terms of production energy, heating/cooling energy, solid waste, and greenhouse-gas emissions reveal a clear advantage for insulated Sto claddings, in particular over non-insulated brick and stucco walls.
