Description

Damiette is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with an intricate surface texture. The fine, mosaic detail is visible when close up but from further away it clearly reads as a damier, or chessboard pattern. It is a superfine, mid-sheen finish with a non-directional pattern for use on interior walls.


It is water vapour-permeable and is suitable for traditional plastered masonry, including historic buildings.


It comes with Eco Pearl applied as standard for increased protection against soiling.


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