Dragged

Inspired by the patterning of weathered rock, the Dragged finish is another armourcoat development - both in technique and specialist tools. Using the same basic ingredients as the pitted finish, the rugged, grainy, yet semi-polished surface is characterised by stirations of texture running through the surface to give a strong directional quality.

Pitted

The rugged, more grainy appearance of the Pitted finish combines with a less highly polished surface to create the appearance and feel of honed or lightly polished limestone. It is most effective when used to create the appearance of monolithic stone surface or a natural stone block. The pitted finish is seen to best effect in lighter or natural stone colours and can benefit greatly from accute downlighting to accentuate the slightly pitted nature of the surface.

The textured range..

Travertine

The Travertine has a light open texture and directional quality similar to that of natural travertine stone. The surface has a low sheen, and although applied in just one colour appears to have two or three distinctly seperate tones running through the surface. This finish can work well in colours across the spectrum as it is possible to achieve the subtle tonal contrast in both light and dark colours

The Spatulata finish is pure luxury. Pioneered by the Egyptians; improved by the Romans; it became known as Stucco lustro veneziano by the venetians. Traditionally it was applied in 10-15 fine coats over a backgorund of 2  - 3 layers of semi-dry marmarino and  finally polished with hot irons.

Modern additives have greatly improved the working characteristics enabling it to be applied in just 3 - 5 layers and polished to a glossy shine with a small steel blade or trowel. Spatulata as a finish has great adhesive properties, we have used it on many substrates including GRP and GRG.

For many spatulata is the ultimate Venetian stucco; certainly the the one with the highest sheen and the most intriguing texture.The spatulata finish has been specified for many of the most prestigious commercial builds throughout Ireland and may be seen on the ceilings of the ice bar in the Four seasons Hotel, Dublin.
