Creativity Begins. Sto Finishes.®
Inspiration can find you anywhere.
Now it can take you anywhere, too.
What inspires you? What shapes the aesthetics you bring to every design challenge? What breathes creative life and energy into every project you touch?
Is it sleek sophistication? The wonders of nature? Elegant simplicity? Geometric perfection? The classics?
No matter what it is that drives your passion or kindles your creativity, the design concepts that flow from your imagination are transformative. We believe these flashes of insight should be treasured. And they, in turn, inspire us to new heights.
Aesthetics
Our goal is to give you unmatched creative freedom, the ability to establish the design aesthetic that best illustrates and illuminates your creative vision.
For us, the process begins with the visuals and ideas that inspire you. You pick the aesthetic — the character, color and form for your building — and we’ll provide the products that realize your design vision. We can turn your creative inspiration into a beautiful, sustainable, fully engineered cladding system.
The promise? Total design freedom in color and texture, finish and material options, in high-performance cladding systems. The key to unlocking your project’s full potential is the idea that anything is possible.
