Glass mosaic facades - StoGlass Mosaic

Mosaic is one of the oldest art techniques in the world - a timeless feature of architecture since ancient times through to contemporary architecture. Weather-resistant, durable, frost resistant and 100% recyclable, glass mosaic facades combine functionality and aesthetic appeal. Sto offers custom solutions for designing superb glass facades to suit all architectural concepts, in shimmering matt, high-shine, or even reflective finishes.

When combined with Sto's facade systems, StoGlass mosaic provides an elegant surface finish with benefits of humidity, sound and thermal protection.

Advantages of glass mosaic facades

• Robust, easy to clean surface - ideal for areas such as building plinths
• Highly frost and weather-resistant, very low water absorption
• UV resistant so colours don't fade
• Very high shock, impact and crack resistance
• Glass is easily recyclable at end of life

Benefits of StoGlass Mosaic

• Vast range of colours, dimensions and thicknesses
• Colour coating applied to the rear side creates a strong depth effect
• Integrates with Sto facade systems, configurable to Passivhaus standards
• Convex and concave shapes are easy to create with Sto's malleable carrier board and the special sub-construction

StoGlass Mosaic is suitable for creating customised, shiny surfaces, including dramatic curves, on multiple substrates including timber, masonry and concrete on new build and renovation projects. StoGlass Mosaic mats are bonded directly with StoColl KM, in grey, or white for lighter colours onto substrates, and in combination with Sto's external wall insulation and ventilated rainscreen cladding systems.

Unevenness can be levelled by means of an adjustable sub-construction made with steel and aluminium, which can also meet Passivhaus-certified standards that is free from thermal bridges.

Available in a wide range of standard colours, Sto's glass mosaic tiles can be added to a number of facade systems as a finish material. From standard white, black, greys and primary colours to historically inspired tints like Pergamon and Florence Brown, to contemporary shades like Mandarin, Champagne, and Sugar Rose, there are colours that can work with all styles of architecture. In addition to the 40 different standard colourways, customised colour shades are possible on request. StoGlass mosaic mats are supplied in a size of 300 x 300mm, with each individual glass mosaic tile in the following dimensions (length x height x thickness, mm):

• 25 x 25 x (4 or 8)
• 25 x 50 x (4 or 8)
• 50 x 50 x (4 or 8)
