Per our new design, we are using an EIFS system that will have a minimum thickness of 3" and a maximum
thickness of 4". Crandle Davis wanted me to check with you to see if the City would have a concern with the
use of EIFS with these stated thicknesses.
Please let me know your thoughts or concerns, and as always, thank you for your help.

Just wanted to follow up with you regarding the spec I sent you last week. STO is the system we are designing
around, as well as using the minimum thickness of 3" and maximum thickness of 4".
Is the City of Grapevine OK with the STO system as well as the thicknesses we are looking to use? Please

lower walls with higher walls, above projecting features, and at the base of the
wall.
b. Air Leakage Prevention-- provide continuity of air barrier system at foundation,
roof, windows, doors and other penetrations through the system with connecting
Sto Guide Specification Sto Corp. is an ISO 9001:2000 Registered Company Page 3 of 17
March, 2009
SPECIFICATION A100G - StoTherm® Classic NExTTM
and compatible air barrier components to minimize condensation and leakage
caused by air movement.
C. Vapor Diffusion and Condensation-- perform a dew point analysis of the wall
assembly to determine the potential for accumulation of moisture in the wall
assembly as a result of water vapor diffusion and condensation. Adjust insulation
thickness and/or other wall assembly components accordingly to minimize the
risk of condensation. Avoid the use of vapor retarders on the interior side of the
wall in warm, humid climates.
C. Impact Resistance
1,, Provide ultra-high impact resistance to a minimum height of V-0" (1.8 m) above finished
grade at all areas accessible to pedestrian traffic and other areas exposed to abnormal
stress or impact. Indicate the areas with impact resistance other than "Standard" on
contract drawings.
D. Color Selection:
1. Select finish coat with a light reflectance value of 20 or greater. (The use of dark colors is
not recommended with EIF Systems that incorporate expanded polystyrene [EPS]. EPS
has a service temperature limitation of approximately 160° F [71 °C]).
E. Joints
1, Design minimum 3/4 inch (19 mm) wide expansion joints in the EIFS where they exist in
the substrate or supporting construction, where the EIFS adjoins dissimilar construction or
materials, at changes in building height, and at floor lines in multi-level wood frame
construction.
2. Design minimum 1/2 inch (13 mm) wide perimeter sealant joints at all penetrations
through the EIFS (windows, doors, etc.).
3, Specify compatible backer rod and sealant that has been evaluated in accordance with
ASTM C 1382, "Test Method for Determining Tensile Adhesion Properties of Sealants
When Used in Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) Joints," and that meets
minimum 50% elongation after conditioning.
4. Design joints so that Air Barrier continuity is maintained across the joint and drain joints to
the exterior.
F. Grade Condition
1. Do not specify EIFS below grade (unless designed for use below grade and permitted by
code) or for use on surfaces subject to continuous or intermittent water immersion or
hydrostatic pressure. Provide minimum 6 inch (152 mm) clearance above finished grade
as required by code.
G. Trim, Projecting Architectural Features and Reveals
1. All trim and projecting architectural features must have a minimum 1:2 [270] slope along
their top surface. All horizontal reveals must have a minimum 1:2 [270] slope along their
bottom surface. Increase slope for northern climates to prevent accumulation of ice/snow
and water on surface. Where trim/feature or bottom surface of reveal projects more than
2 inches (51 mm) from the face of the EIFS wall plane, protect the top surface with
waterproof base coat. Periodic inspections and increased maintenance may be required
to maintain surface integrity of EIFS on weather exposed sloped surfaces. Limit
projecting features to easily accessible areas and limit total area to facilitate maintenance
and minimize maintenance. Refer to Sto details 1.04a and 1.04b.
2. Do not use EIFS on weather exposed projecting ledges, sills, or other projecting features
unless supported by framing or other structural support and protected with metal coping
or flashing. Refer to Sto detail 10.61.

SPECIFICATION A100G – StoTherme Classic NExTTM
Insulation Thickness
1. Minimum EPS insulation thickness is 1 inch (25 mm).
2. Maximum EPS insulation thickness is 12 inches (305 mm) when installed in accordance
with ESR -1748 (including architectural features).
H. Fire Protection
1. Do not use foam plastic in excess of 12 inches (305 mm) thick on noncombustible type
construction unless approved by the code official.
2. Where a fire -resistance rating is required by code use EIFS over rated assembly (EIFS is
considered to not add or detract from the fire -resistance of the rated assembly).
3. Refer to manufacturer's applicable code compliance report for other limitations that may
apply.

3.04 INSTALLATION
(Note: the air/moisture barrier described below is one component in the air barrier system and the
moisture protection for the structure. Installation of the air/moisture barrier must be integrated with
flashing and other air and moisture barrier components to ensure that where water is likely to penetrate
the wall assembly, it will be drained to the exterior at the source of the leak. Proper air barrier
connections and integration of the moisture barrier with flashing through sequencing of work and
coordination of trades is necessary for a complete air barrier system and complete moisture protection.)
A. Air/Moisture Barrier
For installation over exterior or Exposure I Plywood, and Glass Mat Faced Gypsum Sheathing in
compliance with ASTM C 1177:
1. Protect rough openings, joints and parapets: apply Sto Gold Fille joint compound by trowel
over rough openings, sheathing joints, inside and outside corners, and tops of parapets.
Immediately embed reinforcing mesh in the wet joint compound and trowel smooth.
Embed minimum 4 inch (101 mm) wide mesh at sheathing joints and minimum 9 inch
(152 mm) wide mesh at rough openings, inside and outside corners and tops of parapets
(refer to Sto detail 10.23a for detailed information on proper protection of rough openings
and sequencing of work at rough openings).
2. Spot fasteners with Sto Gold Fill' joint compound.
3. Apply waterproof coating by roller over sheathing surface, including the dry joint
compound, to a uniform wet mil thickness of 10 mils in one coat. Use 1/2 inch (13 mm)
nap roller for plywood and gypsum sheathing. Use 3/ inch (19 mm) nap roller for glass
mat faced gypsum sheathing. Protect from weather until dry.
4. Coordinate installation of connecting air barrier components with other trades to provide a
continuous airtight membrane.
5. Coordinate installation of flashing and other moisture protection components with other
trades to achieve complete moisture protection such that water is directed to the exterior,
not into the wall assembly, and drained to the exterior at sources of leaks (windows, doors
and similar penetrations through the wall assembly).
For Installation over Exposure I OSB (Oriented Strand Board) sheathing:
1. Apply waterproof coating with a 3/ inch (19 mm) nap roller to sheathing surface to a
uniform wet mil thickness of 10 mils. Protect from weather until dry. Then follow steps 1-5
above.
For Installation over Concrete or Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) surfaces:
Repair cracks up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) wide with Sto Gold Fill'. Rake the crack with a sharp
tool to remove loose or friable material and blow clean with oil -free compressed air. Apply
Sto Gold Fill' by spray, trowel or putty knife over the crack and tool surface smooth. For
cracks wider than 1/8 inch (3mm) up to 1/4 inch (6mm) wide, use a paintable acrylic latex
caulk to fill crack, tool flush, and allow to dry. (Note. For moving cracks or cracks larger
than Y inch (6mm), consult with a structural engineer for repair method). Protect repair
from weather until dry.
2. Liberally apply two coats of Sto Gold Coat® to the surface with a 3/ inch nap roller or spray
equipment to a minimum wet thickness of 10 mils each and up to a total maximum of 30
mils depending on surface condition. Additional coats may be necessary to provide a void
and pinhole free surface. Protect from weather until dry.
Note: Sto Gold Coalo functions as a waterproofing/air barrier on normal weight concrete/masonry unit wall
construction with flush (struck flush with the surface of the CMU) or concave joints when a minimum of two
liberal coats are applied. Additional coats may be necessary depending on the condition of the CMU wall
surface, CMU porosity, joint profile, and other variables that may exist. For "rough" CMU wall surfaces,
Sto Guide Specification Sto Corp. is an ISO 9001:2000 Registered Company Page 13 of 17
March, 2009
SPECIFICATION AllOOG - StoTherme Classic NExTTM
skim coat the entire surface with one of Sto's cementious levelers (Sto Leveler, Sto BTSPPlus, Sto
BTeSdo, or Sto BTe Xtra) before application of Sto Gold Coat. A VOID AND PiNHOLE FREE
SURFACE must be achieved for Sto Gold Coat to properly function as a waterproofinglair barrier on CMU
wall surfaces.
3 Coordinate installation of connecting air barrier components with other trades to provide a
continuous air tight membrane.
4. Coordinate instaltation of flashing and other moisture protection components with other
trades to achieve complete moisture protection such that water is directed to the exterior,
not into the wall assembly, and drained to the exterior at sources of leaks (windows, doors
and similar penetrations through the wall assembly).
(Note; windows and doors are typically installed immediately following installation of the airlmoisture
barrier and work should be sequenced accordingly. Consult with window manufacturer for installation
requirements to maintain air barrier continuity and for head, jamb, sill flashing and perimeter sealant
requirements).
B. Starter Track
1. Strike a level line at the base of the wall to mark where the top of the starter track
terminates.
2. Attach the starter track even with the line into the structure a maximum of 16 inches (406
mm) on center with the proper fastener: Type S-12 corrosion resistant screws for steel
framing with minimum 3/8 inch (9 mm) penetration, and galvanized or zinc coated nails
for wood framing with minimum 3/4 inch (19 mm) penetration. Attach between studs into
blocking as needed to secure the track flat against the wall surface. For solid wood
sheathing or concrete/masonry surfaces, attach directly at 12 inches (305 mm) on center
maximum.
3. Butt sections of starter track together. Miter cut outside corners and abut. Snip front
flange of one inside corner piece (to allow EPS Board to be seated inside of track) and
abut.
4. Install Starter Track at other EIF System terminations as designated on detail drawings:
above roof along dormers or gable end walls, and beneath window sills with concealed
flashing.
C. Splice Strips for Starter Track and Flashing
1. Starter Track, Window/Door Head Flashing and Side Wall Step Flashing: install 2 inch (51
mm) wide diagonal splice strips of detail mesh at ends of head flashings. Install
minimum 4 inch (100 mm) wide splice strips of detail mesh between back flange of starter
track, head flashings and roof/side wall step flashing. Center the mesh so it spans evenly
between the back flange of the Starter Track or flashing and the sheathing. Embed the
mesh in the wet joint compound and trowel smooth.
2. Apply waterproof coating over the splice strip when the joint compound is dry (refer to Sto
Details 10.00 and 10.23b).
D. Backwrapping
1. Apply a strip of detail mesh to the dry air/moisture barrier at all system terminations
(windows, doors, expansion joints, etc.) except where the Starter Track is installed. The
mesh must be wide enough to adhere approximately 4 inches (100 mm) of mesh onto the
wall, be able to wrap around the insulation board edge and cover a minimum of 2 1/2
inches (64 mm) on the outside surface of the insulation board. Adhere mesh strips to the
air/moisture barrier and allow them to dangle until the backwrap procedure is completed
(paragraph 1.1). Alternatively, pre -wrap terminating edges of insulation board.
E. Adhesive Application and Installation of Insulation Board (for all adhesives except Sto BTS Silo)

sib SPECIFICATION A100G - StoTherme Classic NExTT"'
1. Rasp the interior lower face of insulation boards to provide a snug friction fit into the
Starter Track. (Note: rasping prevents an outward bow at the Starter Track).
2. Apply adhesive to the back of the insulation board with the proper size stainless steel
notched trowel. Apply uniform ribbons of adhesive parallel with the SHORT dimension of
the board so that when boards are placed on the wall the ribbons will be VERTICAL.
Apply adhesive uniformly so ribbons of adhesive do not converge.
3. Immediately place insulation boards in a running bond pattern on the wall with the long
dimension horizontal. Start by inserting the lower edge of the boards inside the starter
track at the base of the wall until they contact the bottom of the track. Apply firm pressure
over the entire surface of the boards to ensure uniform contact of adhesive. Bridge
sheathing joints by a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm). Interlock inside and outside corners.
4. Butt all board joints tightly together to eliminate any thermal breaks in the EIFS. Care
must be taken to prevent any adhesive from getting between the joints of the boards.
5. Cut insulation board in an L-shaped pattern to fit around openings. Do not align board
joints with corners of openings.
6. Remove individual boards periodically while the adhesive is still wet to check for
satisfactory contact with the substrate and the back of the insulation board, and for
spacing between ribbons of adhesive. An equal amount of adhesive must be on the
substrate and the board when they are removed, as an indication of adequate adhesion.
Do not use nails, screws, or any other type of non -thermal mechanical fastener.
F. Adhesive Application and Installation of EPS Board with StoSilo Spray Equipment
(Note: spray application will progress faster than application by hand. Pre-cut EPS board as needed and
adjust crew size and jab staging to install EPS board so it follows immediately after the spray application
of adhesive)
1, Apply Sto BTS Silo material to the prepared sheathing to a rough thickness of 1/4" (6
mm). Form uniform vertical ribbons of adhesive by directing the proper size stainless
steel notched trowel from the bottom of the wall upward. Immediately install insulation
boards in accordance with steps E.3 -E.6 above. If adhesive develops a "skin" before the
insulation board is installed remove the adhesive and replace with fresh material.
G. Slivering and Rasping of Insulation Board Surface
(Note: EPS insulation board exposed to sunlight will develop a powdery residue on the surface. This
residue must be entirely removed by rasping the surface)
1. After insulation boards are firmly adhered to the substrate, fill any open joints in the
insulation board layer with slivers of insulation or spray foam. Use spray foam that is
identified by the spray foam manufacturer as suitable for this use.
2. Rasp the insulation board surface to achieve a smooth, even surface and to remove any
ultraviolet ray damage.
H. Trim, Reveals and Projecting Aesthetic Features
(Note: Reveals/aesthetic grooves may be designed into the system to accommodate workability on multi-
level buildings or lengthy wall sections)
1, Attach features and trim where designated on drawings with adhesive to the insulation
board or sheathing surface. Slope the top surface of all trim/features minimum 1:2 (2711)
and the bottom of all horizontal reveals minimum 1:2 (270).
2. Cut reveals/aesthetic grooves with a hot -knife, router or groove -tool in locations indicated
on drawings.
3. Offset reveals/aesthetic grooves minimum 3 inches (75 mm) from insulation board joints.
4. Do not locate reveals/aesthetic grooves at high stress areas such as corners of windows,
doors, etc.

5. A minimum 3/ inch (19 mm) thickness of insulation board must remain at the bottom of
the reveals/aesthetic grooves.
Completion of Backwrapping
1. Complete the backwrapping procedure by applying base coat to exposed edges of
insulation board and approximately 4 inches (100 mm) onto the face of the insulation
board. Pull mesh tight around the board and embed it in the base coat with a stainless
steel trowel. Use a corner trowel for clean, straight lines. Smooth any wrinkles or gaps in
the mesh.
Base Coat and Reinforcing Mesh Application
1. Apply minimum 9x12 inch (225x300 mm) diagonal strips of detail mesh at comers of
windows, doors, and all penetrations through the system. Embed the strips in wet base
coat and trowel from the center to the edges of the mesh to avoid wrinkles.
2. Apply detail mesh at trim, reveals and projecting architectural features. Embed the mesh
in the wet base coat. Trowel from the base of reveals to the edges of the mesh.
3. Ultra -High impact mesh application (recommended to a minimum height of 6'-0"[1.8 m]
above finished grade at all areas accessible to pedestrian traffic and other areas exposed
to abnormal stress or impact, and where indicated on contract drawings): apply base coat
over the insulation board with StoSilo spray equipment or a stainless steel trowel to a
uniform thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm). Work horizontally or vertically in
strips of 40 inches (1016 mm), and immediately embed the mesh into the wet base coat
by troweling from the center to the edge of the mesh. Butt the mesh at seams. Allow the
base coat to dry.
4. Standard mesh application: Apply base coat over the insulation board, including areas
with Ultra -High impact mesh, with StoSilo spray equipment or a stainless steel trowel to a
uniform thickness of approximately % inch (3 mm). Work horizontally or vertically in strips
of 40 inches (1016mm), and immediately embed the mesh into the wet base coat by
troweling from the center to the edge of the mesh. Overlap mesh not less than 2-1/2 inches
(64 mm) at mesh seams and at overlaps of detail mesh. Feather seams and edges.
Double wrap all inside and outside corners with minimum 2-%2 inch (64 mm) overlap in
each direction. (Alternate corner treatment: embed corner mat in base coat, allow to dry,
and then overlap up to corner with standard reinforcing mesh embedded in base coat).
Avoid wrinkles in the mesh. The mesh must be fully embedded so that no mesh color
shows through the base coat when it is dry. Re -skim with additional base coat if mesh
color is visible.
5. Sloped Surfaces: for trim, reveals, aesthetic bands, cornice profiles, sills or other
architectural features that project beyond the vertical wall plane more than 2 inches (51
mm) apply waterproof base coat with a stainless steel trowel to the weather exposed
sloped surface and minimum four inches (100 mm) above and below it. Embed standard
mesh or detail mesh in the waterproof base coat and overlap mesh seams a minimum of
2-% inches (65 mm).
6_ Allow base coat to thoroughly dry before applying primer or finish.
Note: All trim and projecting architectural features must have a minimum 1:2 [277 slope along their top
surface. All horizontal reveals must have a minimum 1:2 j271 slope along their bottom surface. Increase
slope for northern climates to prevent accumulation of ice/snow and water on surface. Where trim/feature
or bottom surface of reveal projects more than 2 inches (51 mm) from the face of the EIFS wall plane,
protect the weather exposed sloped surface with waterproof base coat. Insulation maximum thickness
is 12 inches (305 mm), which also includes trim and architectural features, when installed in
accordance with ICC -ES ESR -1748. Periodic inspections and increased maintenance may be required to
maintain surface integrity of EiFS on sloped weather exposed surfaces. Limit projecting features to easily
accessible areas and limit total area to facilitate maintenance and minimize maintenance burden. Refer to
Sto details 1.04a and 1.04b.

Do not use EIFS on weather exposed projecting ledges, sills, or other projecting features unless
supported by framing or other structural support and protected with metal coping or flashing. Refer to Sto
detail 10.61.
K. Primer application
(Note: the primer is an optional component)
1. Apply primer evenly with brush, roller or proper spray equipment over the clean, dry base
coat and allow to dry thoroughly before applying finish.
L. Finish Coat Application
1. Apply finish directly over the base coat or primed base coat when dry. Apply finish by
spraying or troweling with a stainless steel trowel, depending on the finish specified.
Follow these general rules for application of finish:
a. Avoid application in direct sunlight.
b. Apply finish in a continuous application, and work to an architectural break in the wall.
c. Weather conditions affect application and drying time. Hot or dry conditions limit
working time and accelerate drying. Adjustments in the scheduling of work may be
required to achieve desired results; cool Or damp conditions extend working time and
retard drying and may require added measures of protection against wind, dust, dirt,
rain and freezing. Adjust work schedule and provide protection.
d. Do not install separate batches of finish side-by-side.
e. Do not apply finish into or over sealant joints. Apply finish to outside face of wall only.
f. Do not apply finish over irregular or unprepared surfaces, or surfaces not in
compliance with the requirements of the project specifications.
3.05 PROTECTION
A. Provide protection of installed materials from water infiltration into or behind them.
B. Provide protection of installed materials from dust, dirt, precipitation, freezing and continuous high
humidity until they are fully dry.
