Description

Armourcoat Rammed Earth is a natural clay and lime plaster that reflects the aesthetic and craft of the traditional building method.

It is a durable, breathable and sustainable wall finish that has been responsibly developed to maximize longevity, well-being and aesthetics whilst minimizing environmental impact.
