LAVAPAINT

One of the unique features of Athens, the chaotic but fascinating Greek metropolis, is that thirty minutes away from the busy city centre you can find a coastal paradise that reminds you of a dream summer holiday destination. In Varkiza Resort, a true jewel of the famous Athens Riviera, you can forget the gloomy urban gray and all everyday problems and enjoy a swim, a meal or a drink by the sea. PROLAT decisively contributed to the creation of this comfortable and discreetly luxurious environment with three of its top quality products: Quartz Mosaic, LavaPaint and LavaPlaster. Quartz Mosaic was the ideal choice for corridors and walkways, where a safe anti-slip material was needed. The polyurethane resin that it contains lends it 100% elasticity and, as a result, it is not affected by small capillary cracks in the substrate. PROLAT recommends Quartz Mosaic unconditionally for outdoor spaces, as it is particularly hard-wearing and, thanks to its natural quartz stone, does not fade if exposed to sunlight and remains unaltered under any weather conditions, with no need for maintenance. PROLAT also applied to all interior and exterior walls its waterproof LavaPaint, which guarantees a natural slightly coarse texture that can breathe and is exceptionally wear-resistant even in seaside environments. It should also be noted that LavaPaint is available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems as well. Finally, PROLAT used LavaPlaster in the elegant bungalow bathrooms of the beach park. It is a reinforced and highly durable material that offers perfectly waterproof and absolutely smooth surfaces with no joints. In addition, covering LavaPlaster with a special varnish effectively protects it against all sorts of staining and pollutants. All three PROLAT products are available in a wide variety of colours, combining practical versatility with an impressively beautiful and tasteful final result.

PROLAT travelled once again to Paros, the beloved Cycladic island that is famous for its beautiful traditional villages and stunning golden beaches. There, in Parikia, the picturesque capital of the island that captivates the visitor with its paved alleys, whitewashed houses and little yards bursting with flowers, PROLAT had the chance to leave its creative mark on one of the most elegant and tasteful buildings of the area with one of its most popular products: LavaPaint.  Because a special building like the old Petros Ragousis edifice, which has been proudly surveying the port since 1887, deserves nothing but the most special materials. And LavaPaint stands out indeed because it doesn’t merely give a monotonously uniform plastic surface, but offers a particularly attractive aesthetic result thanks to its slightly coarse texture that creates a pleasantly rugged sense of naturalness. Moreover, the colour that was chosen perfectly matches the island’s atmosphere and residential environment. PROLAT recommends LavaPaint with Kourasani for interior and exterior walls both in new works and in restorations, for their transformation into monolithic, waterproof, coloured surfaces. The product is also available in a special edition as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. LavaPaint guarantees all three desirable properties of a top quality paint: practicality, durability and beauty.

In the beautiful volcanic island of Lemnos, beneath the castle of Myrina, PROLAT added its own creative touches to a stately two-storey house built according to the rules of picturesque traditional architecture and in perfect harmony with the natural environment, under the supervision of engineer Stasinos Sampαlos, with two very special products: Coloured Stone Mortar and LavaPaint with Kourasani. Coloured Stone Mortar, a bioclimatic material consisting solely of natural ingredients – ceramic tile powder, Theran earth, hydrated lime and silica sand – offers excellent workability and bonding. PROLAT recommends it for all kinds of stone buildings, as it possesses great strength and waterproofing ability thanks to the combination of hydrated lime and Theran earth, which lends it hydraulic properties. An additional remarkable advantage is the fact the Coloured Stone Mortar allows the building to “breathe”, while it also lightens stone thanks to its correctly chosen colour. Another high quality product of PROLAT was used on exterior walls: LavaPaint, which is known to be the most suitable solution when we seek a sense of naturalness and freshness, as its slightly coarse texture differentiates it from ordinary paints and creates an impressively attractive aesthetic result. LavaPaint is ideal both for exterior and interior walls, transforming them into monolithic, waterproof surfaces in whatever colour we like. It is also available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. PROLAT can always recommend the most advantageous and reliable solutions for all building requirements and preferences, with high-standard products that respect customers and the environment.

Colours break the monotony of everyday life, rejuvenate the places we live and work in and have a direct impact on our mood. This is why the selection of the right colour, both in new works and in restorations, is the principal element in the creation of a pleasant, friendly and attractive environment. PROLAT goes one step further, offering a high quality paint that guarantees not only great durability and perfect waterproofing but also an impressive aesthetic result: the natural paint with kurasani LavaPaint. It is a “colour” applied with a spatula, suitable for interior and exterior vertical surfaces of houses, shops, hotels and all sorts of public and private buildings. PROLAT recommends it especially for facades and exterior walls because, thanks to its slightly coarse texture, it creates a truly unique sense of naturalness and freshness, as shown in the photos of this recently renovated stately private residence in Kifissia, Athens. It is worth noting that LavaPaint is also available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. So, if you do not simply wish for an ordinary paint but aim for monolithic, coloured, waterproof surfaces, PROLAT once again has the ideal solution: LavaPaint, an excellent product that can bring colour and beauty to your life.
