Luxurious and unique finishes
The term ‘polished plaster’ covers a wide range of decorative plaster finishes. These
vary from thin and highly polished finishes that resemble polished marble to deeply textured effects that can emulate
travertine or limestone. The
history of polished plaster can be traced back to the Egyptians.
Armourcoat Polished Plasters are made from slaked lime, marble dust and/or marble chips to create the unique look of each finish. Armourcoat develops and manufactures all its own brand materials in the UK and over the years has progressively honed its formulas with special additives to increase product hardness and durability. A protective layer of wax or a sealer can also be applied to enhance performance and appearance.
