Armourcoat traditional white
Using only alpha grade gypsum with a blend of hardening agents,
pigments and resins, Armourcoat provides a superb white finish
for traditional white courts par excellence.
Unlike some competitive products Armourcoat exhibits no
pin-holing, yellowing with age, or surface coarseness to trap dirt
and grease, or ball and racket markings. Because it has a smooth,
matt surface Armourcoat is easily cleaned so that courts can be
kept in pristine matchplay condition, without ever needing to be
painted. If it does get damaged, its smooth finish can be quickly
and economically repaired.

Racket Sports
Armourcoat hard wall plasters are acclaimed and
extensively used throughout the world for squash and
other specialist rackets sports.
Armourcoat have developed a range of incredibly hard
self-coloured renders and plasters suitable for high
impact sports-like Rackets, where the balls are harder
and arguably faster than squash, and wall surfaces
need to be even tougher.
Traditionally, walls in courts like these were surfaced
in conventional renders, which were often painted to
achieve the dark colours (required for use with a white
ball), which inevitably led to cracking and peeling.
Using pigmenting techniques developed in our
decorative surfaces division, we have pioneered a
unique range of self-coloured products, which serve
the dual function of combining great strength and
strong pigmentation, suitable for:
• Rackets
• Real Tennis
• Fives
Armourcoat Racket Sport Plaster is available in dark
green, dark blue, grey and black.
Armourcoat white and Armourcolor are both suitable
for Racketball.
