The product
The measured light reflectance value of every standard Clayworks colour, across Smooth, Demi-Rustic, Rustic and Tadelakt. Needed for visual contrast checks and for daylight and lighting calculations — the same colour reads differently at different textures.
Where it is used
System family
An unfired clay plaster, pigmented through the body, applied by hand over a primed substrate. It is a finish, not a waterproofing layer: it breathes, buffers humidity and is repaired rather than replaced. Interior walls and ceilings only.
The clay plaster systemApplication data
Coverage, thickness, mix and cure, as declared by the manufacturer. Site conditions in the Gulf sit at the top of most of these ranges — allow for it in the programme.
Performance data
Every figure below is reproduced from the manufacturer's own technical data sheet, with the test standard it was measured against. The sheet itself is in the download section.
Where not to use it
The limits are as much a part of the specification as the performance. Everything here is stated on the manufacturer's data sheet.
Light reflectance values for all scheduled clay plaster colours to be confirmed against the Clayworks LRV data sheet, tested to BS 8493:2008 + A1:2010, and verified on the project sample panel before finishes are frozen.

We supply the material and we apply it, so the specification and the workmanship sit with one party. Send a finishes schedule, an elevation or a mood board and we will come back with the system, the build-up, the sample programme and a completed clause.
