That’s indicative of Skyrise’s and STO’s mutual commitment to innovation – to never standing still and always striving to find ways to improve productivity, efficiency, and quality. For example, Skyrise recently brought the StoVentec® Rainscreen® system to Canada. That’s a complete fully-tested high-performance ventilated rain screen system that gives building designers a range of options – from thin masonry veneer cladding, ACM, versatile fibre cement board and even brilliant back-painted glass cladding. According to Royston, this system has attracted the interest “of some of the more premium condominiums and rental buildings here in the city of Toronto.” “That’s a market that we see ourselves pursuing as the next phase of our growth,” Royston says. “We strive to provide our clients with a premium, high-end product that is sustainable, energyefficient, and seamlessly integrated into the next generation of luxury condominiums and high-end rental developments.” In May of last year, Skyrise also moved into MARCH 2025
