ARMOURCOAT
EVOKE AN EARTHY RAW AESTHETIC WITH ARMOURCOAT ® CLIME ®
For 35 years Armourcoat Ltd have been developing natural mineral plaster finishes that incorporate large percentages of recycled material . In this time a wealth of experience in formulating plasters for both interior and exterior environments has been gained , leading to Armourcoat organically becoming the most respected brand for sustainable decorative plasters worldwide .
Armourcoat ’ s newest addition to their extensive product range is ‘ Clime ’, a natural Clay lime plaster . There has been a lot of interest focused on clay plasters as a sustainable option for wall finishes , however after extensive research and evaluation Armourcoat concluded that despite the wonderful qualities of clay , clay only plasters are unfortunately extremely fragile and soften almost immediately when exposed to water . By developing a natural binder made from roughly equal amounts of clay and hydraulic lime , Armourcoat believe they have achieved the optimum balance . Naturally sustainable , low in embodied carbon and retaining the raw aesthetic of clay only plasters , Clime is resilient enough to be used as a wall finish with true longevity .
Available in two standard finishes : Clime Matte and Clime Stone , the natural clay lime plaster is 100 % cement and VOC free , biodegradable and has achieved IAC Gold status and EPD classification . Due to the materials versatility , it can be used in both homes and commercial buildings , withstanding the demands of busy interiors .
Clime Matte creates a finely textured , subtle finish which radiates the natural material used . Clime Stone includes recycled crushed marble to create a heavier texture , suitable for large areas where a more dramatic finish is desired . Both finishes are available in 15 colours and are suitable for internal areas . Custom colours and finishing techniques are also possible including banding , layering and pearlescent washes .
Clime plasters create healthy interiors , with beautiful finishes in tune with nature and engaging traditional decorative skills .
