Description
Armourcoat Stratastone is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with a modern, sophisticated aesthetic. It is mid-sheen finish with a delicate, horizontal texture.
The lime plaster is water vapour-permeable and as such is suitable for traditional plastered masonry, including historic buildings.
It comes with Eco Wax 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.
