Traditional design and innovative insulation

Some regions of the UK

and Ireland are dominated

by brick buildings, the

brick faade being a

traditional and trusted

finish. Planning authorities

dictate that the architectural

design and style of new

buildings should match

the appearance of existing

buildings within the area.

At the same time,

architects, property

developers and contractors

need to ensure that the

materials they use achieve

the increasingly stringent

European building

regulations for

thermal insulation.

Sto brick slips are made from acrylic renderwhich simulates brickwork. Used in conjunctionwith a Sto external wall insulation system suchas StoTherm Classic, Sto brick slips give excellentthermal insulation without having to forego theappearance of a characteristic brick faade.

StoTherm Classic is the leading cement-freeand crack-free, synthetic rendered external wallinsulation system. It is a proven system that hasbeen applied to over 50 million m2 of externalwalls worldwide over the last 40 years, whichhelps to significantly cut heating bills andreduce harmful CO2 emissions.

Natural brick character through individual

hand finishing, Sto brick slips add charmand interest to external faades.

Ideal for new build and refurbishment

projects.

Design freedom through a wide range of

available colours and the support of theSto Design studio.

Long life span and no maintenance costs,as no need to regularly repaint.

Reduced heating costs, when brick

slips are applied to a Sto external wallinsulation system.

Increased value of buildings, due to

longer life.

Sto brick slips also add a unique, rustic

atmosphere to internal spaces. They areparticularly good used in combination withplastered surfaces and woodwork. The lossof space as a result of applying Sto brickslips to the walls is negligible.

Excellent for new build as well asrefurbishment projects, Sto brick slipscan be used in conjunction with a StoThermexternal wall insulation system on blockwork/brickwork or steel framed systems.

Here at Roland House, for example, alightweight steel framed structure wasmatched in bond, colour and size to older

existing brickwork by use of a StoThermClassic system finished with Sto brick slips.

Design freedom with Sto Brick Slips

StoTherm Classic with brick

slips allows brick buildings

to be restored to their

former glory.

For improved thermal

insulation and economic

reasons, why not build

commercial and residential

properties using a Sto

rendered external wall

insulation system withaccents of brick slips,

rather than build in brick

and add render later?

With the help of the

Sto Design Studio team,

many interesting and varied

external design effects can

be achieved, using special

colours, unusual surface

finishes and by combiningSto brick slips with

rendered surfaces.

1. The first step in correctapplication of Sto brick slips,is the careful setting out ofthe area to which they areto be applied.

2. After setting out thedivisions, begin at the top.Apply Sto adhesive and jointmortar horizontally with the6x6 mm Sto toothed trowelat the external corners.Take care not to apply so

much material that a skincan form whilst you work.Then embed the cornerpieces firmly in the mortar,ensuring that they are offset.

3. Apply Sto adhesive andjoint mortar at the sameheight as the cornerpieces to an area ofapproximately 1m2.

4. Stretch a cord at theapplication height. Colourshades of bricks slips vary,so to ensure a uniformfinished appearance, takeSto brick slips at randomfrom different cartons and

press them into the Stoadhesive mortar in thedesired bond.

5. Smooth joints with a dampbrush or pointing tool.Ensure that the Sto brickslips are fully embedded inthe mortar on all sides.

6. Carefully thought outconnections to allconstructional features such as windows completethe system. Lintels should befinished as soldier courseswith corner pieces.
