ArmourTone products are complete finish systems that are generally applied over gypsum drywall but can be applied over most substrates including concrete, masonry, EIFS and stucco. These systems are preferred because joint treatment, surface preparation and colored finishes (either smooth or textured) are achieved with fewer steps, fewer construction days and with less manpower than with traditional drywall compounds and paint. A benchmark feature of ArmourTone is superior abuse resistance compared to conventional drywall finishes which minimizes ongoing maintenance.
