Aaron Visits STENI and Petrarch
Earlier this month, REPS Exterior Division Manger, Aaron Spencer earned the opportunity to visit the STENI and Petrarch factories with Omnis Panels!
The trip began in Oslo, Norway - home of the STENI Factory. Aaron was part of a group invited to participate in an exclusive STENI Factory Tour and experienced project visits in surrounding areas to see more of what is possible when designing with STENI Products.
For the second leg of the trip, the group traveled on to Hastings for a Petrarch Factory tour and local Petrarch project visits. Reach out to Aaron to get his insight on the trip, the innovative architectural products, and how they can benefit your next design project!

Introducing the latest addition to the ArmorWall™ System: ArmorDry™ Exterior Drainage Mat
ArmorDry™ Exterior Drainage Mat is a part of the ArmorWall™ System and when used together in a properly designed assembly it...
- Limits inward moisture movement through the exterior wall covering
- Helps reduce solar heat gain
- Promotes high performance moisture management to keep your exterior wall protected & dry
ArmorDry is intended to support jobs with lath-based claddings (e.g. stucco, adhered stone). For a proper installation of ArmorWall™ System, ArmorDry™ is required behind all lath-based claddings:
