- Provides a seamless and "structural" air barrier when applied over sheathing
- Increases thermal efficiency of the wall system and lowers energy costs
- Provides breathability for vapor diffusion and condensation control
- Can be "value engineered" into bids - Sto Guard is easy to estimate
- Installs easily by paint, waterproofing or drywall contractors without special training
