Sto Corp., the innovative world leader in cladding, air barriers, coatings, and restoration systems, is now a part of Material ConneXion’s product library, for designers looking for unique materials and inspirational uses for its building products.  Through Material ConneXion, Sto is able to reach the design community and also differentiate itself to trade professionals by positioning the company as spec-driven, focusing on projects.

“Material ConneXion reaches out to manufacturers who have distinctive products that can be used by designers in an ‘out of the box’ way,” said Jeff Diqui, Manager, International Design Support and Architectural Engineer for Sto Corp.  “We’ve always known that our products are stylish and cool, and it’s great to be recognized by Material ConneXion and become a part of their product library online for members and in their library at their New York headquarters.

Currently two of Sto Corp.’s products, StoColor® Lotusan® and StoColor® Climasan® are in Material ConneXion’s product library.  StoColor® Lotusan® is an exterior coating with a pronounced self-cleaning effect, and StoColor® Climasan® is an interior flat wall and ceiling coating, that when exposed to a light source, will neutralize odors from the air.

Sto Corp. will be holding a Spotlight event, hosting 250 design professionals, on October 20 at Material ConneXion’s headquarters in New York.
