Drywall gets punched through, water-damaged, and mold-infested — then you get the call. PlasterMax is an ultra-high-performance interior veneer plaster exceeding 8,500 PSI. It goes directly over ICF and EPS foam with no drywall substrate, so you cut a trade and a schedule dependency. Install it once and you're done.
PlasterMax abuse-resistant interior veneer plaster is an ultra-high-performance finish for architectural and industrial applications, formulated for industrial strengths exceeding 8,500 PSI. It provides resistance to abrasions far exceeding abuse-type drywall.
It's applied as a scratch-and-double-back one-coat application — typically 3/16" — over a variety of substrates with fiberglass mesh. Tested and code-approved for ICFs to ASTM E-136, ASTM E-84 and NFPA-286 by Intertek. Every PlasterMax product exceeds USEPA and California indoor air-quality and VOC standards and emits zero pollutants.

PlasterMax finishes directly over a wide range of substrates — no drywall middleman.
Architectural specifications, technical data, application guides, and warranty — the documents your architect, GC, and AHJ will ask for.
It is formulated for industrial strengths exceeding 8,500 PSI, giving it abrasion resistance far beyond abuse-type drywall.
Yes. PlasterMax applies directly over ICF and EPS foam panels — no drywall substrate is needed — and also bonds to gypsum board, cement board, CMU block, mag-board, fiber board, monolithic concrete and unit masonry.
Yes. All PlasterMax interior veneer plaster products exceed USEPA and California indoor air-quality and VOC standards and emit zero pollutants.
PlasterMax is tested and code-approved for ICFs to ASTM E-136, ASTM E-84 and NFPA-286 compliance by Intertek.
As a scratch-and-double-back one-coat application, typically 3/16" thick, using 4.5 oz, 11 oz or heavier fiberglass mesh depending on the abuse resistance required.
