LAVAPAINT

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.

Color, as we all know, is what gives life both to private and professional places and creates atmosphere, as it directly influences not only mood but also the image we wish to show to the others, either supporting or undermining it. This is why the choice of the right color is so important. Choosing the right paint is equally important, given that, apart from quality, we should also take into account factors such as durability, convenience, the aesthetic dimension, and of course price.
PROLAT guarantees that its natural paint with kourasani, LavaPaint, performs excellently in all these areas. It is an outstanding product, suitable for exterior and interior walls, as in the case of the shop shown in the picture, one of the Cultivos Coffee chain shops, where the objective was to create a warm and friendly environment that would be pleasant and relaxing for customers. The aim was evidently achieved: PROLAT applied LavaPaint to the walls of the popular espresso & brew bar in one of its many attractive color shades (LP12, LP36, LP74). In contrast to the ordinary paints in the market, LavaPaint offers a unique natural sense thanks to its slightly coarse texture. If we add all its practical advantages to aesthetic originality and excellence, as it may be used both in new works and in restorations, transforming existing walls into monolithic waterproof surfaces, it is clear that it is an ideal solution for all kinds of walls and interior vertical surfaces in public or private spaces. It should finally be noted that LavaPaint is also available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. Let’s give some color to everyday life then… PROLAT knows the way!

The famous emblematic waterfront of the Greek co-capital, which fully justifies its title as the “Nymph of Thermaikos Gulf”, is dominated by high stately hotels gazing over the endless sea and the magical colours of the horizon for many decades now. Olympos- Naoussa Hotel stands out among them, its name connected with the homonymous legendary restaurant that is a landmark in the rich history of the city. One crucial factor that had to be taken into account in the renovation of this luxurious hotel was its position by the sea, which called for materials resistant to moisture and all types of weather conditions, as well as to sunlight. Once again, PROLAT had the perfect answer: LavaPaint Silicate, a special potassium silicate paint that ensures excellent transpiration so that moisture is not trapped in the interior of the walls. It is an innovative paint suitable for both interior and exterior surfaces and ideal for application on buildings of historical and architectural importance. PROLAT guarantees that the inorganic mineral composition of LavaPaint Silicate makes it invulnerable to UV radiation, so its colour shades remain unaltered through time, while its high transpiration, in combination with its special composition, lends it antifungal and antibacterial properties, preventing the growth of mould. Lastly, it is noteworthy that LavaPaint Silicate is easily and smoothly applied, offering a beautiful matte finish. Another top quality product of PROLAT, a truly pioneering company: practical, hard-wearing and friendly to users, the environment and… the consumer’s pocket.

The main difference between a tourist and a traveller is that the former sees comfort and entertainment an end in itself, wherever he is, while the latter yearns to truly get to know any place he visits, discovering its history, secrets and people. However, this is often difficult, if not impossible, in an impersonal hotel, no matter how luxurious it may be. For those who seek something different, the answer is a holiday residence such as Maria’s Stonehouse in the verdant island of Samos, the birthplace of Pythagoras, which offers the magic of tradition, but not at the expense of a restful and pleasant stay.  This is why the traditional materials required by its architecture and character, namely wood and stone, had to be harmoniously combined with equivalent modern high-quality materials like LavaPlaster, LavaPaint and Coloured Stone Mortar – all well-known products of PROLAT. For the bathrooms, PROLAT recommended LavaPlaster, a hard-wearing and durable material that guarantees absolutely waterproof surfaces in a rich variety of colours, smooth, jointless and, thanks to a special varnish, totally protected against stains and dirt. For the walls, PROLAT chose its popular finishing render LavaPaint, a coloured material applied with a spatula, suitable both for facades and for interior walls. What differentiates LavaPaint from ordinary paints is its discreetly coarse texture that creates a striking sense of naturalness. Finally, mortar is particularly important in such stone built structures. PROLAT had the ideal material: Coloured Stone Mortar, a bioclimatic product with natural ingredients that offers excellent bonding, allows the building to “breathe” and sets it off thanks to its colour, which it owes to the ceramic tile powder it contains. PROLAT offers solutions for all kinds of construction demands, knowledgeably, responsibly and with dedication to quality.
