Sto Corp. has announced significant enhancements to its High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) systems, specifically introducing a Level E impact-rated wall assembly. This advancement is tailored for critical infrastructure like hospitals and emergency centers that require protection beyond standard large missile classifications. These fully engineered assemblies provide superior resistance against extreme wind, water intrusion and wind-borne debris, ensuring essential facilities remain operational during and after severe weather events.
Designed to meet the rigorous Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade County standards, the systems are validated for air leakage, wind load and water resistance. The updated portfolio offers immense architectural flexibility, supporting EIFS, stucco and rainscreen configurations with finishes ranging from glass to masonry.
