Sto Strike Defense by Sto Corp is a high-impact puncture-resistant solution that protects EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) from punctures caused by woodpeckers, as well as blunt and sharp objects. Damage to building exteriors, entryways, staircases, and lower sections can result in water infiltration and system failures. Sto Strike Defense creates another layer of fortification that preserves the look of the building and protects the systems behind the cladding.
Its key component is StoArmat Classic Plus, a cement-free, organic high-build acrylic plaster. In restoration applications, Sto Mesh is embedded in StoArmat Classic Plus over the existing EIFS; for new construction, Sto Armor Mat must be embedded in the basecoat, along with the fortification layer.
