Armourcoat in the USA and Canada

Armourcoat expanded their global business with the introduction of a new USA sales office and distribution centre in Las Vegas, Nevada (July 2009).  Whilst the Las Vegas office is a new venture for the company, Armourcoat have already achieved great success in the USA over the past decade.  A family owned business, which celebrated 25 years of creative excellence in 2009, Armourcoat manages a UK contracting division and global export network to over seventy countries.  Armourcoat finishes have created stunning interiors for the country’s leading architects and designers, including luxury hotels and resorts, boutique retail, large-scale commercial and high-end residential clients in an extensive project list.  

Key to this success is the company’s rigorous attention to product quality and strong environmental credentials.  The core product lines are made from natural minerals, predominately pre-consumer recycled marble. This can account for up to 60% of the recipe, for example in ArmourCast.  Most Armourcoat products have low or zero VOCs, additionally the water-based ArmourColor coatings have anti-bacteria properties to prevent the build-up of mold, mildew or bacteria (including MRSA, E.Coli and Salmonella).  Armourcoat products therefore qualify for inclusion with USGBC LEED accredited projects.

Armourcoat Sculptural creates seamless contoured wall surfaces with impactful designs and cast relief.  Each signature design is created from cast GRG (Glass-fiber Reinforced Gypsum) panels, CAD generated to enable a continuous pattern or unique decorative effect.
