new Sculptural® designs

We're introducing two great new Sculptural® designs in March at Ecobuild; 'Elm' and 'Barcode'.

'Elm' has a tree-form repeating design in relief, 'Barcode' is a clean contemporary series of raised horizontal bars.

Sculptural® offers a range of seamless contoured wall surfaces with impactful designs and cast relief. The designs are created from cast GRG (Glass Reinforced Gypsum) panels, CAD generated to enable a continuous pattern or unique decorative effect.

Marble Lite

Armourcoat is included in the product development pages of US magazine Architectural Products (Jan/Feb 2012) - featuring Severn Trent Water’s new £60m operations centre in Coventry, UK.

The building - which aims to set new industry standards with one of the lowest carbon footprints for any UK office building - incorporates equally eco-friendly Armourcoat polished plaster.  Designed by Birmingham-based Webb Gray Architects, and built by BAM Construction, this highly-sophisticated energy efficient building features the latest eco-tec - and achieved a BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating.

Armourcoat was used within the reception and main atrium space, to create a stunning and original design statement.  Totaling nearly four hundred square metres of hand-applied decorative plaster, Webb Gray specified colourfade artwork for feature panels and curved walls using Armourcoat Spatulata.  For the 30-metre high atrium panels, artisan plasterers blended over seventy colours of paste to achieve the seamless finish.
