American Clay: Naturally Beautiful Walls
American Clay Earth Plaster is a practical, environmentally friendly alternative to cement, gypsum, acrylic, and lime plasters. It is compatible with the “breatheable” construction recommended for both historic and new buildings. Our plasters have a far longer working time than other plasters—up to several days if you need it—so you can take your time and work with confidence that the surface won’t “set” before you’ve achieved just the finish you want. Besides, there’s no waste. You can reuse any excess plaster—even after you’ve mixed it and it’s dried. Just break it up and rehydrate it. Our plasters can be troweled on like traditional plasters, but you can also spray them on with a drywall hopper. Check out americanclay.com for more info
Available in four finishes Marittimo: Coarse finish, strongest of the three finishes Loma: Medium finish, always used as a base coat for the three finishes. Easiest of the plasters to apply. Porcelina: Smoothest of the three finishes, can be polished to a soft sheen. Enjarre: One-coat commercial plastering system Color Packs: Each color pack is pre-measured for ease of use. One pack per 50lb bag of plaster. Sanded Primer Elite: Zero-VOC primer with added aggregate serves as a prime coat for the ‘Traditional’ plaster system for our Plasters, as well as protecting outside corners for our ‘DOS MANOS’ classic and professional application system. UP & EZ!: Up & EZ! is an additive that can be used as both a binder and primer and eliminates the use of the acrylic-based primer in our plaster system. Mud Glue: Acts as both a binder a nd a primer for the basecoat plaster. Eliminates the need to prime walls separately, whether on new or existing walls. Lime Putty: Lime putty suitable for adding additional hardness to American Clay Plasters or to create a rich, intense color Lime Wash Add-Mix: Hardens the cured plaster coat and increases its durability. This makes it an excellent additive for plasters installed in damage-prone rooms and commercial applications. Sealers (Satin or Gloss): Low-VOC soy resin/acrylic spray on sealers which provides some increased hardness and sheen to the products. Sealers also provide additional hardness to the final surface when MUD GLUE is not used. Trowels: We prefer Japanese style trowels, which are ergonomically designed for comfortable application, greaet for the do-it-yourselfer who is not used to handling heavy contractor trowels. |
