Pure Alabaster

Pure Alabaster sits in our Microcement range with a warm undertone you can feel across the room, undertones of cream, and a character that's soft seamless cream. Pale enough to bounce light, soft enough not to glare. Most Pure Alabaster installs end up on powder rooms or tanked shower areas. The lineage is modern minimal, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current. It plays well with oak, brass, linen, brushed nickel and unpolished plaster.

FAQs about Pure Alabaster

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Pure Alabaster hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Pure Alabaster carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The cream undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

Is Pure Alabaster suitable for a shower or wet-room?+

Pure Alabaster can be specified for wet-rooms with our standard microcement wet-zone build: primer, two base coats with reinforcing mesh, two finishing coats, then a tanking membrane and two coats of polyurethane sealer. The colour itself doesn't change suitability — finish and sealer do.

What does Pure Alabaster pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Pure Alabaster with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs naturally with rattan, jute, warm timbers and bouclé.
