Armourcoat Clay Lime Plaster is made in the UK using raw natural materials. The final finish is durable, breathable, biodegradable, with zero solvents and VOCs – including 75% recycled content.
The natural earthy surface texture is formed by the raw ingredients that make up its formula. Consisting of unfired clay, limestone, recycled crushed marble and natural pigments – creating a high-performance wall finish with natural longevity. Once applied, the lime actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere whilst curing, ensuring significantly lower global warming potential in comparison to many other wall finishes – and delivering a naturally sustainable, low embodied carbon surface.
The incorporation of company branding ensures bespoke, creative design features throughout the workspace, realising the original design vision and guaranteeing originality. This fusion of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship presents a unique, tactile aesthetic that balances material heritage and design innovation.
Through a combination of CNC machining, hand crafting, and casting, any form of logo, pattern, or feature designs are achievable across Armourcoat plaster finishes – ensuring precise visual impact. From highly detailed, intricate patterns through to large scale graphic logos, outline shapes can be set within the surface and seamlessly finished in a material of the designer’s choice. This method ensures that graphic details appear to have been carved deep into the wall itself; with the end-result conveying a solidarity and conviction in line with the original design intent.
