Acoustic plaster system - StoSilent Compact

Suspended or mounted acoustic systems are not always possible in a building project, especially the refurbishment or restoration of heritage buildings, places of worship, or others spaces where the aesthetic may not be altered. In these scenarios, StoSilent Compact can be installed directly to an appropriately prepared ceiling substrate with minimal depth required.

Products and systems vary from location to location due to local building regulations and standards. We strongly advise you tocontact your local Sto expert who will be happy to consult you on standards and approval.

Benefits of StoSilent Compact

• Good sound absorption for noise reduction and shortening reverberation time
• Can be applied to ceilings and non-contact walls
• Suitable for flat, curved and other shaped surfaces
• Suitable for almost all types of spaces
• Minimal aesthetic and dimensional changes, ideal for historic buildings
• Vast range of colours and texture options including rough and fine

StoColor Climasan is an innovative photocatalytic paint. When applied in an appropriate airless spray technique, it is compatible with many Sto acoustic systems and helps to reduce room odours.

Substances suspended in the air become deposited on a room's painted wall and ceiling surfaces. The normal room lighting activates the catalyst in the StoColor Climasan paint to break these substances down, noticeably improving the air quality in the room. This coating has been used for hospitals, science laboratories, cafeterias, residential buildings, hotels, shopping malls and other public spaces.

StoSilent acoustic systems allow you to experiment with colour and texture to achieve your preferred aesthetic. With three types of finish at your disposal, and the StoColor System palette of colours to choose from, the world really is your oyster.

Technical support for designers

When considering acoustic management in a room, it is important to consider how much or little regulation will be satisfactory. Our team may be able to carry out indicative calculations, and advise on the choice of acoustic system. Our team can also advise on the availability of products in your location, helping you find the most appropriate solution for your building.

Discuss your project with a local Sto representative

Sto has an online and on-demand continuing development presentation (CPD) available to design professionals “how to achieve good acoustics” here.

The Sto presentation is intended to give an insight into why & where acoustics are needed as well as how the integration of seamless ceiling and wall linings may be considered to be “invisible architecture” for atria, conference, education, leisure and health care spaces.

The acoustic systems overview will allow you to understand how to specify acoustic treatment, how good acoustics can improve comfort, intelligibility and learning as well as understand acoustic absorption classifications and standards.

The CPD also features a range of global reference projects and a short case study of the Alvaro Siza building Angra do Heroismo, in Portugal.
