Georgia-based EIFS supplier Sto Corp. has announced the development and release of an electronic Architectural Toolbox, an EIFS selector tool that allows users to build a variety of EIFS systems using easy pull down menus and a variety of options. Tailored to architects, designers, and specification professionals, the site offers ways to review EIFS choices in a variety of configurations. Users can also use the one-click system to request a quote.

The Web-based product also allows users to instantly download Revit models, specifications for their system choices, and download sales sheets, technical bulletins, and sales materials. The Architectural Toolbox can be found at the company’s Web site atwww.stocorp.com.

“Sto Corp. is the only manufacturer in the EIFS industry that allows its users to download Revit models for specific system configurations,” said John Edgar, technical manager, building science. “With the emergence of building information modeling, Sto recognizes the importance of providing this information in an easily downloadable and straight forward manner.”

As the user builds the specific system, the toolbox will continually provide product series information, as well as additional information such as code compliances and insulation strategies.
