Proof of this is with its range of decorative elements and rich and varied modenatures which allows to recreate identically the reliefs of a house or on the contrary to revamp it after thermal insulation from the outside. Around the window, with frames and sills, and partly running, with running bands, cornices, chainings, bosses and half-timbering, the StoDeco essentials give character to the facades and help to aesthetically enhance the building heritage .
The decorative elements are applied to the facade in order to animate the surfaces in a punctual, linear way, in the form of moldings or panels in common parts.
“Decorating its facades with decorative elements during thermal insulation from the outside makes it possible to combine thermal performance and aesthetic enhancement. A house which has a beautiful facade, with a neat aesthetic, will sell more easily and at a better price than a simply isolated house without any particular finishing ", notes Sabine Strohmann, finishing product manager at Sto.
Simple, pragmatic and optimized, the range of essentials in the StoDeco range offers profiles that can be applied in most configurations, thus facilitating their implementation. However, depending on the aesthetic desire, the type of structure or the peculiarities of the facade, Sto is also competent to provide personalized solutions, with special custom profiles.
The Sto +: a light mineral material
StoDeco decorative facade elements are made of Verolith (expanded perlite), a natural, innovative and fire-resistant material. Consequently, it can be applied to any family of buildings as part of thermal insulation from the outside, without adding any combustible mass.
Around the window: sills and frames
The treatment of the windows of a structure must be carried out with attention, in particular the support. Decorating the window with a frame helps to support the balance of the facade and contributes to the quality of the building's finish.
The supports and frames offered by Sto are intended to emphasize the aesthetics of the window and thus bring rhythm, relief and a more refined finish to the facade.
Their good fire classification makes it possible to install the elements on the periphery of openings and to treat the window covering as a whole, on all types of structure.
In renovation as in new, and whatever the configuration of the window, the range of StoDeco sills and frames offers a personalized decorative aesthetic solution adapted to the specificities of the building:
- complete window sill for an all-in-one solution
- the supporting nose to create a bond and consistency
- the window shelf, the essential element
- framing, simple and flexible
The mineral material is a real asset for home comfort: no noise pollution and proven effectiveness against bad weather.
Partly current: continuous strips, cornices, chains, bosses and half-timberings
A contemporary touch or a traditional cladding, the decorative elements in the common part adapt to the multiple aesthetics of the facade.
In addition to a fire classification in accordance with the regulations, these profiles will bring rhythm and harmony to the facades, thus enhancing the entire heritage. Depending on the “morphology” of the building, customization with vertical variations, crowns or horizontal splits, shapes and layouts makes it possible to sublimate the facades.
Simple in shape, in the same aesthetic line as the range of supports, StoDeco continuous strips can be positioned to the right of the support or in the running part. Perfectly suited to underline a window line or mark a transition between two materials on the facade, the continuous bands are available in several sizes to meet different needs.
And to go even further, the cut panels of different thicknesses StoDeco offer many possibilities of very simple geometric shapes.
To line the junction between the facade wall and the roof, Sto offers a varied range to meet all needs depending on the style of the facade: geometric, concave curve, convex or combined.
- The assembled panels: chaining, boss, half-timbering and graphic signature
The Sto chain, boss and half-timbering range will bring a touch of character and additional personalization to the facade. In addition to classical architecture, it is possible to play with contemporary combinations, random or variable shapes. The assembled panels adapt to the configuration and particularities of the facade.

The StoDeco range can be used on:
- masonry on traditional concrete supports,
