Materials and number of coats:

Description

Armourcoat Armuralia is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with a silk-like texture for use on walls and ceilings. It is a superfine, mid-sheen finish with subtle linear burring and tonal variation.


This lime plaster is water vapour-permeable and as such is suitable for traditional plastered masonry, including historic buildings.


It comes with Eco Wax (or black wax for deep tones) applied as standard for increased protection against soiling. For breathable water repellency, specify with Armoursil Impregnator + Aquawax.


It is also available to be used as a system with Armourcoat® AntiCrack reinforced gypsum skim coat. Please see specification data for more details.
