ΦΥΣΙΚΗ ΒΑΦΗ ΚΟΥΡΑΣΑΝΙ

At the heart of the chic Athens Riviera, a fascinating coastal journey from the largest Greek port to Cape Sounion, 91 Athens Riviera Private Members Club, a true gem with lush green gardens, swimming pools and a stunning beach, combines the relaxing and discreetly luxurious atmosphere of glamping (glamorous camping) with a wide range of wellbeing services and sport activities for its lucky members. The private club’s sophisticated aesthetics required materials that would harmoniously match with its minimalist decoration and finesse and PROLAT had the most ideal product for the walls: LavaPaint, a very special solution for those who seek something more than the plastic surface monotony offered by ordinary paints. Indeed, LavaPaint, thanks to its slightly rough texture, can guarantee a very natural coarse result particularly pleasing to the eye that shows the best features of a place to advantage. PROLAT recommends LavaPaint either for new works or restorations, as it can transform interior or exterior walls into monolithic, coloured, waterproof surfaces. It is also worth noting that the product may be easily applied even to curved surfaces. What is more, it is available as a finishing render for exterior thermal insulation. It is well known that colour is the key to the creation of a warm, welcoming and attractive environment and PROLAT, with LavaPaint, ensures the most beautiful, natural and long-lasting colours for any place!

Summer is in full swing and temperatures are hitting the red line. So, if you are on the way to Rafina, either to take a boat for an Aegean island or to go swimming at a beach not too far from the capital, a brief, cool, rejuvenating break is not just an option but a must! Habito café on Marathonos Avenue promises to help you cool off with its fresh juices, refreshments and coffees and boost your mood with its sweet and savoury snacks. It is only natural for such a shop to aspire to attract customers aesthetically too with a minimalist but elegant and tasteful environment. Here too, PROLAT has added its own decisive touch with LavaPaint with Kourasani, which has been applied to all walls with evidently wonderful results. LavaPaint is a bioclimatic product based on ceramic flour, kourasani and Theran earth and its ingredients have undergone no chemical treatment. Thanks to its natural mineral raw materials, it guarantees excellent breathability, ensuring dry surfaces and a healthy atmosphere. The discreet shade selected by PROLAT for the specific place, apart from being relaxing to the eye, surprises guests pleasantly with the natural wavy pattern and the special texture obtained with the use of a spatula. In addition, LavaPaint is waterproof, elastic and extremely durable under any weather conditions and UV radiation, which is why PROLAT recommends it both for interior and exterior walls. Here is another practical and reliable product with the quality seal of PROLAT!

A renovation in Plaka, the “neighborhood of the gods” just below the sacred rock of the Acropolis, is not a mere construction work but a true ritual as the result has to be in complete harmony with its neoclassical buildings, most of which are listed, retaining the picture of Athens as it was a century ago. Such an important mission requires of course the right materials. PROLAT, with great respect for the colour, character and history of this picturesque part of the Greek capital, rejuvenated the façade and interior walls of this building on Scholiou Street with LavaPaint with Kourasani, the perfect choice when we seek not just a monotonous and indifferent plastic surface but a unique natural one that attracts and pleasantly surprises the eye. The secret lies in its slightly coarse texture that differentiates if from ordinary paints and creates a special sense of naturalness and freshness. Both for exterior and for interior walls of neoclassical buildings PROLAT recommends LavaPaint with Kourasani, which can transform them into monolithic waterproof coloured surfaces. Besides, the product has been approved by all archaeological services. The contribution of PROLAT to the impressive renovation of the above building was not limited to the use of LavaPaint but included one more top quality product, LavaPlaster Cream, which was used in the bathrooms. It is a particularly practical waterproof material in ready paste form that is suitable for floors and walls and ideal for various creative uses and DIY works. LavaPlaster Cream guarantees excellent functionality, high durability and an impeccable aesthetic result – like all the products of PROLAT.

The vital role that colours play in our lives is well known and generally accepted: they add beauty to our homes and workplaces and can literally transform them, they inspire and rejuvenate us or they relax us and calm us down – take your pick! This is why choosing the right colour is even more important when you have to do with places that receive large numbers of visitors on a daily basis and aspire to make them feel comfortable and lift their mood. Luckily, PROLAT, always ready to offer handy and practical ideas, had the ideal solution for this case: LavaPaint with Kourasani, one of its most popular products, a bioclimatic material available in a wide variety of colours that is suitable both for exterior and interior walls. The perfect aesthetic result achieved is evident in the pictures of Refill – Coffee & Snacks canteen in the modern exhibition centre Metropolitan Expo near Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos. The soft, discreet colour shade of LavaPaint that was selected for the walls and the ceiling creates the pleasant, warm and friendly atmosphere required in such a shop, as well as a very special sense of naturalness and freshness thanks to the product’s slightly coarse texture, which is what differentiates it from usual paints. When you seek an original, attractively rugged but natural result as opposed to the monotony of a merely painted surface, PROLAT has the answer: LavaPaint, a top quality product that transforms walls to monolithic colourful surfaces. Here, it has been applied even on a secret door so that it appears to be one with the wall. Moreover, the special composition of LavaPaint guarantees excellent breathability and a waterproof, durable and elastic surface. They say that there is no true beauty without colour. PROLAT endorses that and offers you the perfect solution to change and bring beauty to your everyday life!

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.

The ideal of perfect harmony expressed in the ancient saying “Mens sana in corpore sano” seems to be an unattainable dream under the circumstances of stress, time pressure and lack of free time caused by the modern rat race. An easy yet effective solution is the age-old therapeutic art that provably contributes to good health, fitness, beauty and peace of mind: massage. Hando Massage & Spa, in the centre of Athens, offers not one or two but twenty-one massage services in an attractive, tranquil and relaxing environment. PROLAT has played a major part in the creation of this environment with one of its top- quality products, LavaPaint with Kourasani, a bioclimatic, inorganic material which, thanks to its special composition, possesses excellent breathability and keeps the atmosphere of a place healthy and pleasant. The warm, earthy colours chosen by PROLAT were perfect for the friendly and welcoming wellness centre and spa and its mission. LavaPaint ensures a monolithic, particularly durable elastic and waterproof surface, that’s why PROLAT recommends it both for interior and for exterior walls. But what LavaPaint is mainly known for, noticeably standing out from ordinary paints, is the original and beautiful final result and the sense of freshness and naturalness created by its slightly coarse texture. Moreover, LavaPaint is also available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. Christmas is near… Treat yourself and those you love to a unique experience in a dream environment that bears the high quality and aesthetics stamp of PROLAT!

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.

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.

Femenino in Kifissia, Athens, is no ordinary café; it is the first Athenian shop of the homonymous chain that cooperates with women-owned coffee farms from 9 Latin American countries, contributing to the financial self-sufficiency and social empowerment of women in remote, poor areas through training them in top quality coffee cultivation. Such a special shop certainly needs special materials to show its aesthetic dimension to advantage. LavaPaint, one of the most popular products of PROLAT, was the ideal solution for the creation of a warm, hospitable and natural atmosphere that mirrors the company's philosophy. What really differentiates PROLAT LavaPaint from usual paints is its slightly coarse texture that lends surfaces a particularly attractive and original natural appearance. Its advantages are not limited to the aesthetic result, however. PROLAT unconditionally recommends LavaPaint for new works or restorations involving either interior or exterior walls, which can be turned into monolithic, coloured "natural" surfaces. Finally, it should be noted that LavaPaint is available in various colours and also in a special edition as a finishing render suitable for exterior insulation. A truly excellent material that can upgrade and literally transform a place!

In a peaceful, verdant landscape, at the foot of Mount Vermio, about 6 km from Naoussa and at an altitude of 290 m, Yannakohori village overlooks the vast vineyards of Ktima Kir-Yianni, which was founded in 1997 by the famous Greek winemaker, oenologist and former mayor of Thessaloniki Yiannis Boutaris. In the village winery, where Yiannis Boutaris has chosen to present his book “60 Years of Grape Harvesting”, you can find a very nice and welcoming restaurant and wine bar. Here, PROLAT has added its own touch to the creation of a tasteful, warm and friendly place with one of its top quality products: LavaPaint with Kourasani. It is a coloured material applied with a spatula, suitable both for new works and for restorations, that transforms walls into monolithic, coloured, waterproof surfaces. PROLAT guarantees a wonderful aesthetic result thanks to the slightly coarse texture of LavaPaint which differentiates it from ordinary paints and lends painted surfaces a unique sense of naturalness and freshness. “Wine gladdens the heart of man”… and PROLAT products, such as LavaPaint, with their excellent quality and beautiful colours, definitely gladden the eye…

Beauty, no matter how subjective it is, is usually found in simple and natural things. Based on this principle, PROLAT has created one of its highest quality products: LavaPaint Finishing Render with Kourasani. Contrary to ordinary paints that can give nothing more than a monotonous plastic surface, LavaPaint, which is unconditionally recommended by PROLAT for interior and exterior walls, both in new works and in restorations, offers a unique sense of naturalness and freshness thanks to its slightly coarse texture. A perfect example of the impeccable aesthetic result is this elegant modern house in Paleo Faliro, created by the architects Miltos Portokalis and Efi Malandraki, where PROLAT applied LavaPaint to the walls, changing impressively the interior of the house with a particularly restful and tasteful colour that shows to advantage the austere clean lines and the minimalist decoration. This bioclimatic material is not only waterproof and extremely durable but also very economical, and is therefore an ideal solution for all types of private or public places that really stand out.

It’s nice to stand out through constant improvement efforts. This is what really matters in all aspects of life: never settle for what you find, but, using all your knowledge, skill and imagination, always try to make it even better. PROLAT, for instance, going beyond ordinary paints, has created a product which, in addition to its practical advantages, can radically change the external appearance of a building, attracting glances, interest and, consequently, in the case of shops, new customers. LavaPaint, a natural paint with kourasani developed by PROLAT, does not offer a monotonously uniform plastic surface, as most paints do; its slightly coarse texture guarantees an original result, creating a refreshing sense of naturalness. MoreShop, a women’s wear boutique in Menidi, Attica, is a characteristic example. One glance is enough to realize how clearly it stands out, like a little oasis of tastefulness in the built environment of a densely populated urban district. The aesthetic dimension of the final result, however, is not the only reason why PROLAT is so proud of the specific product: LavaPaint is a coloured spatula-applied finishing render suitable both for new works and for renovations involving either interior or exterior walls, which offers excellent waterproof protection. Finally, it is worth noting that LavaPaint, one of the most popular products of PROLAT, is also available as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems for building façades. It’s nice to stand out. And so simple, after all.

What can make a difference and turn one of the many identical impersonal buildings of a big city into a really interesting one? PROLAT has the answer: the right materials; not just quality materials but special and unique ones that can give colour, life and character to any residence or workplace, such as Arte de Pelo hairdresser’s in Petroupoli, Athens. LavaPaint, for instance, the finishing render that PROLAT applied to the façade and walls of the two-storey building, is not an ordinary paint that can offer nothing but a merely painted surface; its slightly coarse texture creates a rugged sense of naturalness surprisingly appealing to the eye. As in every shop, the material needed for interior floors should be practical, hard-wearing and easy to clean, but at the same time attractive to clients too. Once again, PROLAT had the solution: LavaMosaic is an anti-slip floor coating with outstanding mechanical strength and no joints and, thanks to a special varnish, it never stains. Furthermore, it is distinguished for its natural beauty. A special touch of freshness and elegance is added to the ergonomically simple and modernly decorated interior with the use of Betocore for mirror stands and partitions. With Betocore, one of the most innovative and versatile products of PROLAT, you can create original and tasteful objects and furniture that stand out thanks to their concrete-like appearance and texture. Finally, the balcony was coated with Quartz Mosaic, another product of PROLAT which combines all the aesthetic advantages of natural quartz stone in addition to the essential qualities that any exterior floor coating material should exhibit (anti-slip properties, ease of cleaning, wear resistance and resistance to sunlight and all weather conditions). Behind every beautiful and functional place, apart from architectural inspiration and passion for decoration, there is usually another open secret: the choice of the appropriate materials that will best serve its purpose and show its image to advantage.

Simple, austere lines, clean shapes, open, light spaces and jointless, uninterrupted surfaces that reflect sunlight and show the calming colours to advantage create a restful, friendly and pleasant environment that allows us to relax and enjoy our personal and family moments after a stressful, tiring day. This is the architectural and decorative style adopted by this private residence in Kavouri, Athens, where modern and classical elements blend harmoniously, offering tranquillity, spaciousness and functionality. The contribution of PROLAT to the remarkably tasteful final result was once again decisive: the material used on stairs and floors was Lavaplaster, a well-known reinforced and perfectly waterproof product distinguished for its natural beauty. For exterior floors and balconies, PROLAT chose Quartz Mosaic, a particularly practical anti-slip material with extraordinary mechanical strength, which, thanks to the natural quartz stone contained, does not fade if exposed to sunlight, remains unaltered in time and unaffected by adverse weather conditions and does not require maintenance. Finally, to all interior walls PROLAT applied LavaPaint, which, in contrast to ordinary paints, guarantees a unique sense of freshness and naturalness thanks to its slightly coarse texture. Conclusion: the choice of suitable quality materials may convert a house into the home of our dreams.

Our home is neither a mere shelter from everyday stress nor just the place where we live, rest and recharge our batteries, but also a broader mirror of ourselves. Naturally, it directly influences our mood and mental health. This is why it is often not just desirable but absolutely necessary to improve, change and renovate our personal environment so as to feel rejuvenated and full of new positive energy and zest for life. In such renovations, colour choices play a vital role. The pictures prove beyond any doubt that any ordinary residence, regardless of size and at a very low cost, may be literally transformed into your dream home in a couple of days and only with minor interventions. PROLAT added its own decisive touches to the renovation of the specific house in Kaminia, Athens, applying LavaPaint to the bedroom and sitting room walls and to the fireplace overmantel. In contrast to usual paints that give a monotonously uniform plastic surface, LavaPaint, one of the most popular products of PROLAT, creates a unique sense of naturalness and freshness thanks to its slightly coarse texture. So, if you wish to transform existing walls into monolithic, waterproof, coloured surfaces and have an aesthetic result that is bound to satisfy even the most demanding tastes, LavaPaint by PROLAT is the ideal solution. Quickly, easily and economically!

At the coastal resort of Neos Voutzas, amphitheatrically built on a slope with uninterrupted views over the South Euboean Gulf, this austere yet elegant country house with clean lines and pale, restful colours blends harmoniously with the natural environment and offers a marvellous chance for quality living and relaxation just a stone’s throw from the Greek capital. PROLAT, with its rich experience and excellent products, has contributed decisively to the creation of a tasteful and absolutely functional residence. The product used on exterior stairs and floors and around the swimming pool was Quartz Mosaic, a particularly wear-resistant and anti-slip material made by mixing natural quartz stone and resins that does not require maintenance. To the exterior walls of the house PROLAT has applied its natural paint, which is waterproof and its beautiful appearance remains unaltered over time. Finally, for the interior floors and the bathrooms, PROLAT has chosen Lavaplaster. The overall final result fully covers the whole spectrum of everyday life needs and meets even the most demanding aesthetic expectations.

Santorini, an enchanting Cycladic island with a fascinating ancient history and the most stunning sunsets in the world, is strewn with beautiful villages, such as Akrotiri, which is famous for the prehistoric settlement excavated there and its Venetian tower. Akrorama is a modern luxury complex built in a unique landscape of wild natural beauty; it consists of a private villa and three fantastic suites with breathtaking views over the Aegean blue and the caldera. PROLAT, using the natural paint Lavapaint on the walls of all the rooms, once more contributed decisively to the creation of a relaxing, welcoming and pleasant environment. Lavapaint, which is suitable both for interior and exterior walls and available in a rich variety of colours, is particularly practical, as it can be easily applied to any smooth surface and, thanks to a special impregnation varnish, can become completely waterproof and remain unaltered over time. Apart from its practical value, this exquisite product guarantees an amazing aesthetic result with an attractive texture and a refreshing natural sense created by its harmonious striations and shadings, as clearly shown in the pictures. These advantages of Lavapaint natural paint, coupled with its very economical price, make it an ideal solution for private residences, tourist installations and workplaces.

In Retziki, a true little paradise at the northern edge of the Greek co-capital, long famous for its unique natural beauty and favourable climate, thanks to which it gradually developed into a resort area with lots of country houses and villas, PROLAT, with its quality products and in cooperation with ANADOMO Construction Company, had the chance to contribute to the creation of a particularly tasteful and functional private residence. The outdoor floor was coated with quartz mosaic, a material with outstanding mechanical strength that does not even require maintenance. PROLAT chose the same material, which also happens to be anti-slip, for interior and exterior pool surfaces. Natural paint, guaranteeing an attractive appearance that remains unaltered through time, was used on the walls of the house. Finally, for the bathrooms, PROLAT chose one of its best-known products, Lavaplaster, an exceptionally hard-wearing and perfectly waterproof material available in 150 colours. The final result fully satisfies even the most demanding tastes!

The hectic pace, aesthetic monotony and impossibly tight work or study schedules in an oppressive urban environment call more urgently than ever before for a microcosm of peace where we can wind down, recharge our batteries, remember our life priorities and enjoy moments of calm and relaxation. In a two-storey house in Haidari that could have been a common characterless building like so many others, experience, imagination and the quality materials of PROLAT have created an oasis of beauty and simplicity that pleases the eye and refreshes the mind. PROLAT has coated exterior floors and stairs with its Quartz Mosaic, a very practical anti-slip and wear-resistant material that does not require maintenance. For interior floors, PROLAT has used Lavaplaster, one of its most popular products, that offers a perfect result – an uninterrupted smooth surface with no joints. Finally, both on interior and on exterior walls, the discreet and soft shades of PROLAT Natural Paint ideally show off the comfortable and light space and the functional modern furniture. Our home deserves to be built with enthusiasm, careful designing and the best materials… for it is our precious shelter and our personal everyday paradise.

A shop that aspires not merely to survive but to really stand out from the plethora of the various shops that you can find in big urban centres should pay special attention not only to the quality of its products but also to its image in order to attract and maintain customers. This is exactly why the new ADMIRAL sports shop in Argyroupoli, Athens, has created an image aesthetically appealing and pleasing to the eye and PROLAT is proud to have helped in it with its natural paint. The natural paint with kourasani used by PROLAT both on interior and on exterior surfaces is a versatile material that can be applied to any smooth surface and is wear-resistant and available in many colours – a particularly practical product made even more attractive by its exceptionally competitive price.

Nafplio, a picturesque town with rich history and culture, is one of the most popular destinations for those who seek a quick romantic getaway as it is only two hours away from Athens. This seaport town of Peloponnese, the first capital of the Greek state, is characterized by noble grace and finesse and boasts magnificent neoclassical buildings, an imposing fortress and great natural beauty. The hotel Aethra Boutique Rooms, housed in a fully renovated 19th-century mansion at the heart of Nafplio, offers discreet luxury, peace and comfort, as well as beautiful views of a huge courtyard with lemon and orange trees and the town. PROLAT has contributed to the creation of this particularly attractive and relaxing environment with its famous quality products, such as quartz mosaic for the courtyard and the stairs and Lavaplaster for the elegant bathrooms. As for the façade, PROLAT has chosen natural paint in mild shades matching perfectly the colours of the town. The aesthetic result is impressive and predisposes the visitor for an unforgettable stay.

The choice of the right paint is generally the finishing and probably the most important touch to an aesthetically perfect result, as it may ideally bring out all the advantages of a place, creating a warm, welcoming and attractive environment. This functionally designed pharmacy in Nea Makri owes its pleasant and discreetly elegant environment to a large degree to a particularly practical quality product of PROLAT used both on interior and exterior walls: the natural paint with kourasani Lavapaint by PROLAT. The pale grey shade that was chosen makes the shop appear lighter and more spacious and matches perfectly with its refreshingly simple and modern total image. Lavapaint by PROLAT is available in many colors and combines remarkable wear resistance, as it remains unaltered over time, with an exceptionally low price. It is, therefore, the most suitable alternative for those who do not wish to use Lavaplaster but want a low cost and highly wear-resistant product that can guarantee the most natural and tasteful final result.

In the old days street vendors known as koulourades used to sell the famous koulouri of Thessaloniki, a crunchy sesame-seed bread ring, dexterously balancing the trays with their delicious goods on their heads. “Koulourades”, one of the most successful bakery chains that have been recently founded in Greece, has undertaken the task of making this traditional healthy and widely used snack that dates back to the Byzantine Period popular among the young too. PROLAT has done its bit in the new “Koulourades” shop in Ilion, using its antislip and particularly wear-resistant quartz mosaic on the floor. In addition, PROLAT natural paint has been used both on the ceiling and on the interior and exterior walls, creating a really attractive, friendly and welcoming environment that will certainly become the favourite hangout of the neighbourhood, especially for koulouri lovers of all ages.

Even in the grey and dull environment of a densely populated city you can occasionally find beautiful little corners that break the monotony and add a touch of beauty to the area. Olyra, a new bakery in Vrilissia continuing the tradition of a boulangerie-patisserie well known in the northern suburbs of the capital, is such a welcome small oasis. PROLAT contributed significantly to the creation of this shop, designed and constructed by LAB DC, using its natural paint on all wall surfaces. PROLAT’S Lavapaint with kourasani is an ideal choice both for interior and for exterior spaces, as it offers an absolutely natural-looking, attractive and highly wear-resistant result that does not change over time. Its advantages include the wide variety of available colour shades and of course its incomparable price, which is definitely the most economical one on the market today. The demanding circumstances of modern life call for convenient products that can also respond to contemporary aesthetic standards, so PROLAT’s Lavapaint with kourasani, a reliable material that combines top quality, durability and low cost, is undoubtedly the cleverest and most practical solution.

In the context of spotlighting awesome people who exhibit high levels of professionalism and skill, we, at PROLAT, are truly proud to present our cooperator Tasos Kanellopoulos. Respect for customers, prompt service and guaranteed quality of wood products and cabinet making materials are what Tasos can offer you in his new premises at 160 Ethnikis Antistaseos Street, Aghios Dimitrios, Athens.

Top quality, excellent service and innovation are the same features that have steadily characterized the architectural products of PROLAT since 1965, earning us the appreciation of you all. Thank you so much! Congratulations, Tasos!

Thanks to its fascinating local colour, its rich history and its enchanting golden beaches, Kos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of Medicine, is one of the most popular islands of the Dodecanese. In the picturesque village of Kefalos, Voudouris family, with great passion and respect for tradition, has restored six 19th century buildings, creating “Mylotopi”, a tiny settlement consisting of a bakery, a traditional house, a windmill, a threshing floor, a tunnel and an old café-restaurant. The complex, a typical sample of the island’s architecture and the cultural identity of the area, enables visitors to discover the lifestyle and everyday habits of a bygone era. PROLAT has contributed to this amazing project by applying LavaPlaster to floors and natural paint to all interior and exterior walls. PROLAT stone mortar has also been used in all stone-built structures of the complex, a bioclimatic material guaranteeing excellent workability and strength and high aesthetic quality. The final result is definitely impressive. So, “Mylotopi” has now been added to the countless sights of the island, offering the unique experience of a trip through time…

Zakynthos or Zante, also known as “Fior di Levante” (Flower of the East), is a verdant fertile Ionian island with deep azure waters, a stunning coastline, habitats of rare ecological value and a unique Heptanesian architecture with intense Venetian influences. In beautiful Tsilivi, only 4 km from Chora, the capital of the island, Contessina Suites Hotel, built under the architectural direction of Sotiris Tsergas of Block722, on one of the quietest and cleanest beaches of the island, which has been awarded a Blue Flag, offers guests quality hospitality, comfort and impeccable aesthetics. The natural paint of PROLAT, which has been used to all interior and exterior walls, has contributes to the hotel’s elegant and tasteful picture. The soft, discreet shades and the harmonious color combinations of PROLAT natural paint are restful to the eye and predispose guests to relax and enjoy to the fullest a dream vacation in an idyllic environment. We are already packing for Zante…

Kalymnos, the fourth largest island of the Dodecanese, which is inextricably linked with the rich Greek maritime tradition and sponge diving, is also a popular alternative tourism destination thanks to its landscape diversity and geomorphology. This is the idyllic natural environment where the house shown in these photos was built –a house that respects both nature and the needs of modern life. PROLAT stone mortar, which has been used here, is a bioclimatic product with natural ingredients that allows the building to “breathe”, while at the same time ensuring a fascinating aesthetic result. PROLAT natural paints that have been used both on interior and exterior walls have contributed decisively to this result. And what is more, although this impressive house is by the sea, there are no signs of wear, as the above materials are particularly resistant to all sorts of weather conditions, as well as to salty sea air and humidity. PROLAT has added the final touch applying LAVAPLASTER to the bathrooms and exterior steps, thus creating a functional and pleasant residence in perfect harmony with the beautiful nature that surrounds it.

For city dwellers too busy to escape from the stress and the hectic rhythm of modern life, shops offering the treasures of nature in the form of quality and pure products that contribute to healthy nutrition and please the palate are welcome like rejuvenating breaths of fresh air.
