Lavaplaster

In Naxos, the fertile island that rightly bears the title “Queen of the Cyclades”, the peaceful and rich in biodiversity nature once made Kazantzakis write, “If Paradise was on earth, it would be right here”. In such an idyllic landscape, in the village of Vivlos, a beautiful modern villa with evident elements of traditional island architecture, the Villa of delight and serenity, welcomes visitors in its comfortable and hospitable spaces and promises to enchant them with its view and earthy, relaxing colours that match perfectly with the serene natural environment. PROLAT contributed decisively to this attractive picture with two of its well-known top quality products: LavaPlaster for the bathrooms and Coloured Stone Mortar for the whole house. LavaPlaster needs no introduction. Its natural beauty and the absence of joints, which ensures a monolithic, perfectly smooth surface with no fissures, along with its high durability and waterproof qualities, have made it one of the most popular products of PROLAT. It is used both in new and in renovation works, for staircases, countertops, bathrooms, built beds etc. and is available in more than 150 lovely shades that cover all architectural and decoration needs and preferences. Furthermore, LavaPlaster may be covered with a special varnish that protects the surface against all sorts of stains. Coloured Stone Mortar, an equally practical and functional product of PROLAT, is an ideal solution for stone-built buildings, both for aesthetic reasons and to ensure waterproofing. It is a bioclimatic product consisting solely of natural ingredients: ceramic tile powder, silica sand, Theran earth and hydrated lime. The latter two create hydraulic properties that enhance its strength and waterproofing ability. One of the most remarkable advantages of Coloured Stone Mortar is that it allows the building to “breathe” while also lightening it and lending it special charm, partly thanks to its colour, which it owes to the tile powder it contains. These two excellent products of PROLAT were harmoniously combined to lead to the impressive final result captured in the photos: a particularly tasteful, relaxing and functional environment.

Do you like Italian cuisine? If so, benvenuti a Tartufo, a new restaurant that offers wonderful authentic Italian dishes in the picturesque neighbourhood of Monastiraki, in the heart of Athens, in a particularly friendly and tasteful environment, which, once again, bears the stamp of PROLAT. To the interior walls and the whole façade of Tartufo PROLAT applied Lavacryl Granite, a new generation decorative coating suitable both for interior and exterior surfaces, specially designed for building façades, as well as for external heating, burst systems and generally all cases in which aesthetic upgrade is required. It is a remarkably hard-wearing material available in various natural colours that remain unaltered by exposure to solar radiation. For the floor, PROLAT chose another new quality product: LavaPlaster Cream, a waterproof user-friendly material in ready paste form with countless potential creative uses on floors and walls, also suitable for DIY works. The soft, warm, earthy colours that were chosen combine perfectly with the modern minimalist decoration and create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere in a place that pleases not only the palate but the eye too!

When you cross the door of a bookshop, you enter not just another shop but a truly magical world that offers you endless possibilities through reading: to travel, learn, explore, reflect, dream and – above all – to lose yourself in a book, recharging the batteries of your mind and soul. As Dr. Seuss, the renowned children’s book writer, has beautifully put it, “You can find magic anywhere; all you need is a book”. It is this kind of sweet aura that is radiated by LOGOPEGNIA (WORDPLAY), at 44 Saint Alexander Street, in Palaio Faliro, Athens, an amazing new bookshop created with the inspired renovation of an old one, thus continuing an almost 50-year old tradition. And, since we are talking about inspiration and magic, PROLAT took… its own magic wand and, with its outstanding, top quality products, turned an ordinary shop into a bright, friendly and tasteful place ready to welcome visitors of all ages and satisfy all reading interests. PROLAT used on the floor its new product, LavaPlaster Cream, an excellent, hard-wearing and waterproof material in paste form, available in more than 200 colours and suitable for DIY works as well. PROLAT had a classical, tried and tested solution for the exterior area too: Quartz Mosaic, an anti-slip floor coating material with remarkable mechanical strength and elasticity, also available in a wide variety of colours, which, thanks to the natural quartz stone it contains, does not fade if exposed to sunlight and remains unaltered even in adverse weather conditions with no need for maintenance. Finally, with LavaPaint on the walls, PROLAT ensured an original and highly attractive aesthetic result thanks to its slightly coarse texture that creates an impressive sense of naturalness and freshness. The mild, discreet colours of the materials selected have decisively contributed to the creation of a pleasant, warm and welcoming atmosphere that attracts and relaxes visitors. As Walt Disney once said, “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on Treasure Island”. LOGOPEGNIA bookshop knows it very well and is waiting for you to come and discover all its precious hidden treasures!

Nowadays, a time when everybody is busy and pressed for time, shopping for clothes is not a mere necessity but also a splendid opportunity to relax and enjoy yourself. And enjoyment starts in the eyes. Man & Manetti knows it well, that’s why they wanted their new store in River West to be a pleasant and friendly place that would reflect the company’s aesthetic standards and attract customers. PROLAT made sure this became a reality. LavaPaint with Kourasani, which was chosen for the walls, is a special material that offers unique naturalness when you wish for something better than the monotonously uniform plastic surfaces given by ordinary paints. Its discreet colour and slightly coarse texture serve perfectly the image of comfort and elegance that matches the company culture. LavaPaint is ideal for all walls, interior or exterior, as it combines the freshness and beauty of natural appearance with complete waterproofing and durability, while it is also available as a finishing render for external thermal insulation. On the floor PROLAT used one of its most popular products, LavaPlaster, a reinforced, waterproof and exceptionally hard-wearing material only 4mm thick that guarantees absolutely smooth surfaces with no joints and is available in a wide variety of colours. Apart from floors and walls, PROLAT also recommends LavaPlaster for staircases, countertops, bathrooms, built beds, and many other uses. Moreover, a special varnish fully protects surfaces against staining by pollutants, oils, etc. Finally, the solution proposed by PROLAT for countertops was the ultimate DIY product: LavaPlaster Cream, a particularly practical material in paste form that ensures functionality and a perfect aesthetic result. The overall final outcome justifies the choices of PROLAT and proves once again the high quality and versatility of its products.
