Armourcoat Surface Finishes offer an
innovative substrate preparation system
which ensures fast-track construction as
well as a tough, unrivalled backing for
all Armourcoat wall finishes.
Armourcoat AntiCrack is a cost effective, skim-coat
plaster designed for application in 3- 4 mm layers
over plasterboard surfaces. Its use eliminates the
need for taping, jointing and sealing the surface and
provides a first class substrate that is designed to
keep the the Armourcoat top layer in fine condition
for many years.
Plasterboard is undoubtedly a cheaper, quicker, more
convenient and cleaner method than building
traditionally plastered masonry walls. Yet
plasterboard is weak, easily impacted and can be
susceptible to cracking along the board joints,
especially where it is under tension, such as when
applied to curved surfaces. Although the jointing
compound normally used to fill and level the
surface allows fast sanding, it is inherently weak
and soft by design. The result is a relatively weak
substrate which can jeopardize the long term
performance of Armourcoat finishes in high traffic
areas.
Armourcoat recognizes the tremendous benefits
plasterboard construction brings, particularly
where costs and speed of wall construction are
paramount. The company therefore has assumed
the task of making plasterboard-type substrates
more robust for use with Armourcoat finishes so
as to allow contractors to reap the performance
benefits of both.
The result is Armourcoat AntiCrack.
