Are ArmourColor finishes hard-wearing and durable?
All ArmourColor products are designed to be considerably more durable than a
standard emulsion paint or wallpaper. The finishes do not readily soften
when in contact with water and therefore can be cleaned effectively with a
mild detergent without leaving any visible mark or burnished patch on the
surface. ArmourColor finishes have good resistance to water based stains
and good scuff/ abrasion resistance.
Can I use ArmourColor finishes in my bathroom, wet-room or swimming pool?
All ArmourColor products are formulated to be anti-mould, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. All of the finishes can therefore be used in humid environments provided adequate ventilation exists. The finishes are not suitable to be used in areas constantly exposed to moisture such as wet rooms and shower cubicles.
Please ensure when using the ArmourColor products in humid environments that the substrates to which they are applied are also suitable. Avoid the use of wood based products like MDF and chipboard, and also plasterboard and gypsum based jointing compounds.
What are the benefits over paint, wallpaper or vinyl wallcoatings?
Over a standard matt emulsion paint, ArmourColor creates a decorative rather
than flat finish which offers a nicer ambiance. ArmourColor is much more
cleanable, without affecting the surface and is much more resistant to water
based stains. It is much more durable and scuff resistant.
Over wallpaper, ArmourColor creates a seamless finish, which is unaffected
by moisture and humidity, does not peel off, is more repairable and can be
washed and cleaned without affecting the surface.
Over vinyl wallcovering, ArmourColor creates a seamless finish with no
visible joins, does not peel off, releases no odour or off-gassing, and has
low voc content. They are therefore more environmentally friendly, more
repairable and look more natural.
