PROLAT GOES TO LEMNOS!

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.

PROLAT GOES TO CULTIVOS!

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!

PROLAT GOES TO THESSALONIKI!

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.

PROLAT GOES TO SAMOS!

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.

PROLAT GOES TO MENIDI!

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.

PROLAT GOES TO PETROUPOLI!

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.
