The demand for advanced acoustic solutions has been increasing in recent years – whether it is academic institutions, public spaces, hotels, offices or luxury residential complexes. The Armourcoat system contains an advanced acoustic solution that combines perfectly with a minimalist and luxurious design, while maintaining impressive acoustic performance.
The Armourcoat acoustic plaster system, marketed in Israel by Hecht Ephraim, offers a comprehensive and innovative answer to these questions – and is becoming one of the most sought-after solutions among architects, designers and acoustic engineers.
What is the Armourcoat Acoustic System?
This is an acoustic mineral plaster system, which includes a mineral baseboard on a gypsum or concrete substrate, over which plaster is applied with a smooth, continuous and seamless texture. The system is characterized by an extremely thin finishing layer – only 3–4 mm thick – which allows for a monolithic finish with a natural, uniform and luxurious appearance.
The system is available in natural shades and can be applied to both flat ceilings and curved or sloped surfaces, while maintaining clean and elegant architectural lines. It is ideal for those who want to combine minimalist aesthetics with outstanding acoustic performance.
Proven acoustic performance
The system has been tested in certified laboratories and shows impressive absorption values – up to NRC 0.95, depending on the thickness of the panels and the final composition. In this way, it also provides a solution for spaces with particularly high levels of reverberation: conference halls, movement spaces, libraries, restaurants, indoor pools and health complexes.
Durability and maintenance
One of the most prominent advantages of Armourcoat is its special resistance to moisture and humidity, a feature that makes it a relevant option for swimming pools, spa rooms and wet spaces – without compromising on a clean appearance. In addition, the system is easy to clean and maintain, and maintains a stable appearance over time.
Design advantage
Because it is a hand-applied mineral plaster, Armourcoat allows for extensive design freedom. It can be combined in different shades, laid on sculpted surfaces, and even create design sequences across several walls and ceilings in the same space. Its unique finish blends naturally into modern, classic, and even industrial projects.
Also suitable for green construction
The system complies with green construction standards and can be integrated into projects according to LEED and BREEAM standards. It is based on natural materials, free of volatile organic compounds (VOC), and contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
The system is available in Israel through Hecht & Ephraim, the official representative of Armourcoat. The company accompanies its customers from the planning stage to on-site execution, including technical support, selection of shades, adaptation to unique construction details, and professional supervision of the installation.
Among the notable projects in which the system was integrated: the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technion, the spa complex of the Jeremiah 33 Hotel in Jerusalem, leading offices in the center of the country, and prestigious exhibition spaces.
In conclusion
The Armourcoat acoustic plaster system offers a rare combination of high technical performance, design flexibility and meticulous aesthetics – without compromising durability, sustainability or maintenance. It is a comprehensive solution, which suits the complex requirements of contemporary architecture and allows architects and designers to realize their vision even in acoustically sensitive spaces, without sacrificing a clean and precise design language.
