Rethinking the Built World
As wildfires and hurricanes become more powerful and destructive year after year, the imperative for sustainable infrastructure in building materials has amplified.
Now, more than ever, the application of eco-conscious methodology and climate hardened materials is vital for our safety, security and the prosperity of future generations.
Building Armour is a technological breakthrough building material.
Reimagining the Built Environment
Building Armour is an innovative cementitious geopolymer* meticulously formulated and engineered to safeguard structures from fire, water, and other destructive elements, offering a cost-effective and state-of-the-art solution.
Building Armour Stucco will NOT spall or crack under extreme heat.
BUILDING ARMOUR
Class A rated building material

Produces Zero CO2
100% Recyclable
Extreme heat from a fire causes conventional stucco to begin to spall and crack at 212º F, allowing outside embers and oxygen into the structure.
On average, wildfires can burn at temperatures ranging from 1,472º F to 2,192º F, with some reaching even higher levels under intense conditions.
Building Armour Stucco has a 1 hour fire rating at 1” thick @ 1,700º F.
Building Armour is architecturally agnostic.
As conscious builders and entrepreneurs, we need to acknowledge that repeating the same actions and expecting different results is unrealistic. It’s time to adopt new perspectives and build in innovative ways so we can be stronger than before. We can choose to be strong and rigid or soft and flexible, and weather any storm, emerging better on the other side.
Design & Build in any style.
Protect What’s important.
Building Armour offers superior protection against the harshest climate conditions, especially fire, water and sea water.
*Geopolymer as defined by the Geopolymer Institute of France: “Geo” refers to dirt or mineral. “Polymer” refers to long chain of molecules. Think of geopolymer as Human Engineered Rock that can be sprayed or poured.
FIRE RESISTANT
Building Armour offers unparalleled wildfire protection for both new construction as well as fire hardening existing structures.
Our fire-resistant stucco is capable of withstanding flames up to 1,700ºF for one hour, at a thickness of 1”, with Zero smoke and Zero flame spread.
This level of protection is achieved without the use of exterior gypsum or fire rated sheathing. *
Wildfires have increasingly become more frequent and more destructive. The Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles County destroyed more than 18,000 structures, burned 57,000 acres and killed at least 29 people.*
Building Armour is Non-combustible and Ignition Resistant. Building Armour Stucco dramatically slows or stops the spread of fire started by embers and radiant heat 2 to 4 times longer than traditional exterior finishes of today.
“As a California builder, we are responsible for water intrusion and the structural integrity for 10 years”.
WATER RESISTANT
According to the International Institute for Environment and Development, about 41% of Americans were under a disaster declaration sometime during 2024, with 137 million people being affected. Of these weather-related declarations, hurricanes and tropical storms affected more people than any other event. *
Water intrusion can significantly compromise the structural integrity of any structure, potentially causing mold, dry rot, or weakening the foundation if not promptly or properly addressed.
Building Armour Finish Coat can be applied to the interior and exterior of any new or existing structure,, offering unparalleled protection from water intrusion, especially when applied over wood or concrete.
Building Armour offers a solution by providing a weathertight seal within 48 hours of application. Building Armour Finish Coat can be applied to most types of building material, especially wood and concrete, ensuring a weather and watertight barrier, minimizing the risk of water intrusion.
ELEMENT RESISTANT
Water-damaged structures are susceptible to mold and other toxic airborne pathogens.
Structures flooded after events such as hurricanes are especially prone to mold if not dried within 48 hours.
However, even buildings that have not been flooded can develop mold from leaking roofs, pipes or high humidity, particularly those constructed with biodegradable materials.
Building Armour is Acid and Mold Resistant.
Building Armour is Impact and Crack Resistant.
Building Armour is rated at 3000/psi within 24 hours, and 5500/psi within 14 days.
Our unique geopolymer technology is hydrophobic and Antimicrobial, with high-compression, flexural and tensile strength *
CLIMATE HARDENING
The purpose of climate hardening is to minimize damage and ensure the continued functionality of structures and systems during and after extreme weather events.
As climate change leads to more frequent and intense extreme weather events, climate hardening is crucial for protecting lives, property, and essential infrastructure.
Building Armour is Fire, Water, Wind, Acid & Impact Resistant
Building Armour is weather-tight within 48 hours of application, Climate Hardened within 7 days, and fully cured within 28 days.
Our fire-resistant stucco is capable of withstanding flames up to 1,700ºF for one hour, at a thickness of 1”, with Zero smoke and Zero flame spread.
Building Armour is Sustainable & Economical.
Building Armour allows for newfound rapid building methodologies never known before, without compromise.
Building Armour is designed to provide superior protection and expedite the building process for both new construction and fire hardening of existing structures.
Our goal is to better protect homes and structures while making them affordable. By increasing the protection of the wooden structure, and building with new materials, we are offering a viable solution for fire, flood and home insurability, advocating for reasonable rates for homeowners.
Typically, little to no retooling or additional manpower is required when spray applied.
Building Armour Stucco expedites the building process by 1300% vs conventional stucco.
Building Armour is a cementitious geopolymer product, that can be sprayed, troweled, poured-in-place and cast in forms.
No additional coats required. Building Armour Stucco is applied in a single layer of 1” thick.
Typical residential homes of 2500 sq/ft can be applied and completely finished within 2 to 4 days.
Compared to traditional stucco, completion can take up to 4 to 6 weeks for the same house, including base coats, intermediate layers and cure times.
Building Armour bonds to various surfaces, including existing stucco, concrete, wood, and masonry. Our product does not bond with plastic.
Building Armour saves time, money and offers unparalleled protection as compared to Portland cement-based materials.
