Description

StoPoren Brick Veneer are 600 x 200 x 75mm autoclaved aerated concrete bricks with reinforced lintels to offer durable, solid substrates that are incombustible, sound absorbing and thermally stable. The materials are easily cut allowing the designer freedom to create clean straight lines.

The autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) bricks (StoPoren Brick Veneer) are fixed with brick ties to form a 40 to 75mm drainage cavity, allowing for a dry zone between the interior and exterior claddings and are coated in a Sto Plaster System of your choice.

Installations are carried out by a Sto Registered Licensed Building Practitioner with the added protection of a 15 or 20 year Sto System Warranty and 5 year renewable Workmanship Warranty plus Maintenance Schedule.
