StoGuard® Air and Moisture Barrier Systems
Seamless protection for the entire wall assembly.
Air Barriers are required in building walls, regardless of region or climate. Controlling air leakage through the building envelope is critical to achieving high building energy efficiency. Research has shown that air barriers can play a larger role in energy efficiency than increasing insulation thickness. But unlike building wrap barriers that are penetrated by staples and fasteners for their attachment, the StoGuard® System provides seamless control over air and moisture to improve building performance and occupant comfort.
Will not tear like building wraps
StoGuard® products are built to stand the test of time, with each component designed to last the life of the structure. In head-to-head test with leading building wraps, StoGuard® fluid-applied air and water barrier withstood twice the water-column pressure and did not fail.

Permeable/Impermeable Fluid-applied Air & Moisture Barriers
The StoGuard® System includes either vapour permeable or impermeable fluid-applied membranes. Determining whether you need a permeable or impermeable air barrier primarily depends on climate and wall design.
Sto Gold Coat®
Sto Gold Coat® is a ready-mixed flexible waterproof air barrier membrane for use in StoTherm ci® Systems. It is applied directly to vertical above grade wall sheathing and concrete masonry, and functions as a waterproof air barrier when combined with StoGuard® joint and rough opening treatment.
Sto Gold Coat® TA
Sto Gold Coat® TA is a ready-mixed flexible, trowel applied waterproof air barrier membrane for use in StoTherm ci® Systems. It is applied directly to vertical above grade wall sheathing and concrete masonry, and functions as a waterproof air barrier when combined with StoGuard® joint and rough opening treatment.
StoGuard® VaporSeal™ R
StoGuard® VaporSeal™ R is a ready-mixed, flexible waterproof air and vapour barrier membrane. It is used on vertical above grade walls behind various claddings including, stucco over metal lath/building paper, brick, metal panels, cement board, and others.
Sto Flexyl
Sto Flexyl is an acrylic-based, fiber-reinforced, flexible adhesive and waterproofing for use on prepared concrete, masonry, plaster, gypsum and cement sheathing surfaces. Combined with Portland cement, Sto Flexyl provides multiple functions, including: waterproof adhesive and base coat in StoTherm ci® wall systems, crack repair material as well as a foundation water-proofer.
Sheathing Joint Treatments
The StoGuard® System includes sheathing joint treatments optimized for a variety of conditions and trades. Proper protection of sheathing joints is critical for minimizing the risk of moisture intrusion and unwanted air movement.
Sto RapidGuard™
Sto RapidGuard ™ is a single-component, multi-use air barrier and waterproof material used to seal rough openings, sheathing joints, seams, cracks, and transitions in above grade wall construction. Its fast-drying, flexible coverage makes it easy to provide high-quality air and moisture protection across multiple applications.
StoGuard® RapidFill™
StoGuard® RapidFill™ is a one-component air and moisture barrier and waterproof material used to seal sheathing joints, seams, cracks, and transitions in above grade wall construction. Rapid drying time will usually allow for same day installation of other Sto air barrier components.
StoGuard® Fabric
StoGuard® Fabric is a non-woven cloth reinforcement. It is part of the StoGuard® assembly and is used with either Sto Gold Coat®, StoGuard® VaporSeal™ R to treat sheathing joints, inside and outside corners and rough openings. Available in 4- and 6- inch widths.
Sto Gold Fill®
Sto Gold Fill® is a ready-mixed, flexible, joint treatment and air barrier material for vertical above grade walls. It is applied to rough openings, corners, and sheathing joints in walls with StoGuard® Mesh.
StoGuard® Mesh
StoGuard® Mesh is a glass fiber self-adhesive mesh for use with Sto Gold Fill®. Available in 4.25- and 9.5-inch widths.
Conformable Membrane
StoGuard® Conformable Membrane
StoGuard Conformable Membrane is a self-adhered membrane flashing for use over prepared vertical above-grade concrete, concrete masonry, brick masonry, wood sheathing, glass mat gypsum sheathing, and cementitious sheathing, as part of a StoGuard® air and water-resistive barrier system. It simplifies detailing of transitions for air barrier continuity in Sto proprietary wall systems and other wall assemblies.
Rough Opening Protection
The StoGuard® System includes rough open protection optimized for a variety of conditions and trades. Proper protection of rough openings joints is critical for minimizing the risk of moisture intrusion and unwanted air movement.
Sto RapidGuard™
Sto RapidGuard ™ is a single-component, multi-use air barrier and waterproof material used to seal rough openings, sheathing joints, seams, cracks, and transitions in above grade wall construction. Its fast-drying, flexible coverage makes it easy to provide high-quality air and moisture protection across multiple applications.
StoGuard® RapidSeal™
StoGuard® RapidSeal™ is a one-component air and moisture barrier used to protect rough openings and for transition detailing in above grade wall construction. Rapid drying time will usually allow for same day installation of windows or top coating with other wall assembly components. Moisture cure properties and resistance to cold conditions help to avoid costly delays related to inclement weather. Liquid-applied technology allows for easy installation at complex geometric conditions such as wood buck or back dams.
StoGuard® RediCorner™
StoGuard® RediCorner™ is a preformed fabric piece used in the corners of the rough openings for quicker installation. Used with either Sto Gold Coat® or StoGuard® VaporSeal™ R.
StoGuard® Tape
StoGuard® Tape is a self-adhering air and moisture barrier material composed of spun bond polyester fabric laminated to rubberized asphalt adhesive. The polyester fabric strengthens the material while providing a surface to which most coatings will bond. Available in 6- and 9- inch widths.
