Decorative specialist Armourcoat presented a range of new wall finishes and colours at the Retail Design Expo in London this week – including a new on-trend metal rust finish.
The Rusteel finish offers an authentic rusted iron or patina effect, creating an aged, weather-beaten, metal surface. This time-worn finish similar to weathering (or Corten) steel is created from a water-based paint with metal particles which naturally tarnish when activated. A sealer coat is used once the desired effect is achieved and provides a further protective layer. The finish is available exclusively through the ArmourFX modular panel system. The ArmourFX range of panels has evolved from Armourcoat’s renowned applied seamless wall finishes. Armourcoat’s specialist designers and artisan plasterers can create integrated custom wall panel systems or design statement single artwork pieces. The prefinished panels offer a rapid installation with ease of handling, and are ideal for projects under tight deadlines for completion.
Armourcoat also presented Timber-Effect panels cast from actual Douglas Fir timber planks. Two designs are available (‘original’ or ‘rugged’ shown here), made from a polymer-modified gypsum resin mix. Timber-Effect panels have been creatively used to replace or match exotic timber such as Shou-Sugi-Ban Japanese charred planks or North American Mountain Pine Beetle blue-stain timber.
Later this year, Armourcoat will be returning to Decorex International in September following a ten-year hiatus. Decorex defines design; a uniquely British experience, internationally renowned for being the paramount event to discover the very best in luxury design. With a rich heritage of 38 years, Decorex provides a unique platform for launching into the most coveted end of the interior design world, and is the focus for an increasing number of specialist international exhibitors. Visit Armourcoat at the show, from 20-23 September 2015, stand H31, Syon Park, London.
