  • Existing painted walls and ceilings provided the paint is well-adhered to the substrate.

  • Substrate must adhere to a tolerance of +- 1 mm/600 mm or +-3 mm/1800 mm.
  • Not suitable for papered surfaces.
  • Also available on pre-manufactured, ready to hang panels.


Materials and number of coats:

  • Plasterboard substrates to be prepared with gypsum skim coat and sealer or taped, jointed and sealed by others.

Description

Armourcoat Pitted is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with the appearance of lightly polished limestone. It is a partially honed finish with a subtle, non-directional open 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.
