Description
Armourcoat Spatulata is a natural lime and marble polished plaster with an extremely smooth surface for use on walls and ceilings. It is a superfine, high gloss finish with non-directional patternation from the trowel application.
The lime putty based plaster is 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.
