QUARTZ MOSAIC

A true quality industrial, architectural or building material does not merely cover fundamental demands such as the need for safety, convenience and durability, but can also show to best advantage the interior or exterior space in which it is used. Based on this simple principle, PROLAT had the perfect solution for the schoolyard of Neue Schule, a “happy bilingual Greek-German kindergarten and primary school” aiming at supporting kids’ development and teaching them through entertaining modern methods to cooperate, respect the others and be creative: Quartz Mosaic. It is a well-known material used for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas and can be applied to smooth concrete, common cement mortar or old tiles in a thickness of 5mm. PROLAT recommends Quartz Mosaic for public or private areas, even under conditions of heavy use, e.g. for hotels, shops, eating establishments, pedestrian precincts, balconies, terraces, staircases, gardens, yards, etc. It is the perfect choice especially for areas where little children run and play, such as a schoolyard, as it is anti-slip and elastic, needs no joints and possesses outstanding mechanical strength. The photo also proves how attractive it is thanks to its texture and the lovely colours in which it is available – colours that it owes to the natural quartz stone it contains. It is precisely thanks to its natural stone that Quartz Mosaic does not fade and remains unaltered by sunlight or any weather conditions. And what is more, it requires no maintenance! A popular, widely used and highly reliable product of PROLAT that will never let you down!

“It’s Sunday! We must have some fun / We need it all so much! / So, come on, let’s go everyone / To watch a football match!” said an old children’s song. And indeed, you can have lots of fun watching your favourite football team play in a modern, attractive and safe stadium. PROLAT took care of the latter in Panionios football stadium, where the VIP section was fully renovated. For the floor and stairs PROLAT used Quartz Mosaic, an anti-slip material suitable for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas, characterized by outstanding mechanical strength, which renders it exceptionally durable even under heavy use. Moreover, the polyurethane resin contained in Quartz Mosaic gives it great elasticity and, as it needs no joints, it is very easy to clean. The product is available in a wide variety of colours thanks to its natural quartz stone, to which it also owes the ability to remain unaltered by sun exposure and any weather conditions. The contribution of PROLAT, however, was not limited to the use of Quartz Mosaic; for the walls of the stadium entrances PROLAT chose Lavacryl Granite, a new generation decorative coating based on natural quartz and modified acrylic emulsions. Lavacryl Granite has been specially designed for building façades, surfaces needing external thermal insulation and all kinds of conventional applications and is particularly recommended for cases in which aesthetic upgrading is desired. Lavacryl Granite is available in selected colour combinations of PROLAT Quartz Mosaic system. PROLAT has the perfect solution for all construction needs and covers all preferences with its top-quality, hard-wearing and, most of all, reliable products.

One of the properties that are considered to be particularly desirable in a product is versatility. And one of the most popular PROLAT products that definitely belongs to this category is Quartz Mosaic – a material suitable for floor coating mainly, though not exclusively, in outdoor areas, small or big, public or private. PROLAT recommends Quartz Mosaic not only for pedestrian precincts, shops and eating establishments but also for private residences like the elegant house in Rafina shown in the photos, where it may be used on balconies, terraces, staircases, garden walkways and garages. A dark colour, such as QM61, is an ideal choice for parking spaces, and colour QM64 is truly beautiful for a house entrance, whereas the anti-slip edition (colour QM68) is strongly recommended for exterior staircases. Quartz Mosaic owes the vast variety of colours in which it is available to the different colorations of natural quartz stone, thanks to which it does not fade if exposed to sunlight and remains unaltered in any weather conditions, with no need for maintenance. Last but not least, PROLAT guarantees the great mechanical strength and elasticity of the product, which is also very easy to clean, as no joints are required. A clever and practical solution with various uses that covers perfectly all requirements, preferences and expectations.

It is said that all that glitters is not gold… yet sometimes it is! In Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum, a truly magical place in the heart of the historical centre of the capital, at the very foot of the Acropolis, that used to house the workshops and family home of the famous goldsmith, artist and academician, it is not only the exquisite exhibits that glitter but also the building itself – both metaphorically and literally! On the Roof Garden, PROLAT was called on to contribute to the creation of an environment worthy of the glamour of the first and only Museum of Jewelry and Decorative Arts in Greece and it did, with an equally unique product: Quartz Mosaic. In this specific case, it was decided to use quartz from the Gold series (the most impressive one of the company thanks to the golden glints in the material), which is perfectly suited both for the building and for the theme of the museum. Quartz Mosaic is a versatile and tasteful anti-slip floor coating with outstanding mechanical strength, recommended by PROLAT mainly for outdoor areas of all types. The polyurethane resin that it contains lends perfect elasticity to the material, while the absence of joints makes it particularly easy to clean. PROLAT guarantees that Quartz Mosaic, which is available in various colours, thanks to the natural quartz stone contained, does not fade if exposed to sunlight, remains unaltered in any weather conditions and requires no maintenance. Quartz Mosaic Gold is indeed a valuable product that justifies both its reputation and its name! Construction Partner: Kappa Advice Colour Code Applied: QM70

What is the antidote to the monotony of everyday life and work or school pressure in a grey metropolis where time never seems to be enough for anyone? Contact with nature, some would answer. A sport that helps you forget stress and rejuvenates you, according to others. How about combining these two?

A balcony with a view of the Acropolis, one of the most beautiful and famous historical monuments in the world, is by definition privileged. With the right materials, however, it can be literally turned into a little private oasis of peace and tranquility, a tasteful and practical extension of the flat that allows you to relax and daydream enjoying from above an uninterrupted view of Athens, the city that never sleeps. The product chosen by PROLAT for coating this balcony floor was Quartz Mosaic, which is ideal for outdoor areas such as terraces, balconies, garden walkways, staircases etc. It is a particularly hard-wearing anti-slip material that doesn’t need any joints, therefore it is quite easy to clean.

The pictures prove it beyond any doubt.

In a grey metropolis full of cement like Athens the best you can hope for is to be able to enjoy a peaceful green garden or a balcony with a view. And it is double luck if this view includes one of the most beautiful and famous monuments of the world like the Acropolis. PROLAT was called upon to renovate such a lovely balcony with its most suitable product for floor coating, mainly in outside areas: Quartz Mosaic. One of its greatest advantages is that it can be nicely applied to smooth concrete, common cement mortar and old mosaic floor or tiles that do not need to be removed. PROLAT highly recommends Quartz Mosaic for terraces and balconies like the one in the photo, as it is an anti-slip material that exhibits outstanding mechanical strength and 100% elasticity. Moreover, it needs no joints, therefore it is particularly easy to clean with ordinary household cleaners and wash with a garden hose.

Today more than ever before the hectic lifestyle and the stressors of living in a big city call for rejuvenating touches of beauty. And PROLAT, once again, is here to give solutions with its recognized high- quality products, which are not only practical and convenient to use but also offer wonderful aesthetic results.

In seaside areas, both in private residences and in professional premises, the construction materials chosen must ensure not only a visually attractive final result but mainly high resistance to sunlight, all sorts of adverse weather conditions and humidity. This was one of the reasons why PROLAT suggested a specific solution for all the exterior floor surfaces of a modern all-day coffee bar literally on the waves, Cielo Mar on the picturesque island of Spetses: its Quartz Mosaic. It is an anti-slip material suitable for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas, especially if they are subject to frequent and heavy use. PROLAT guarantees that Quartz Mosaic possesses outstanding mechanical strength and great elasticity thanks to the polyurethane resin that it contains, and is very easy to clean with ordinary household chemicals as it has no joints. Moreover, thanks to its natural quartz stone, it is available in a wide variety of colours. From this rich colour palette, PROLAT selected colour QΜ65, a mild earthy shade that blends harmoniously with the natural environment and contrasts beautifully with the blue sea. Lastly, as Quartz Mosaic contains natural quartz stone, it does not fade if exposed to sunlight and PROLAT assures that it remains unaltered in any weather conditions with no need for maintenance. A particularly practical and tasteful material for special works of the highest standards!

In Schinias, one of the best beaches of Attica, at the northeastern edge of the plain of Marathon, PROLAT had the chance to complete ideally the idyllic picture of a garden by the sea with its most suitable product for areas around swimming pools: Quartz Mosaic. It is an anti-slip floor coating material with outstanding mechanical strength and great elasticity that is perfect mainly, though not exclusively, for outdoor areas of all types and sizes. Quartz Mosaic is the reliable solution of PROLAT for hotels, shops or private residences like the one in the photos, not only because it is safe and practical, as it has no joints, therefore it is very easy to clean, but also because, thanks to its natural quartz stone, it does not fade if exposed to sunlight and is unaffected by any weather conditions with no need for maintenance.

Moreover, an additional equally important and instantly visible advantage is its high aesthetic value highlighted through the various colours in which it is available. In this case, PROLAT chose colour QM68 of Quartz Mosaic, a shade of grey particularly restful for the eye that perfectly matches the green of the garden and the blue of the sea. It was the final and decisive touch in the creation of a pleasant and relaxing environment that invites you to enjoy the view, nature and the wonderful Greek summer.

Now that summer – a very hot one, according to predictions – is ante portas, every chance for a little coolness is more than welcome in a densely built city like Athens. And it is a blessing if you happen to have a comfortable exterior space of your own that offers you endless views and various possibilities for optimal exploitation like this private rooftop in Agia Paraskevi. The white furniture that reminds you of holidays and sunny beaches, the well-tended plants, the elegant floor lamps and, of course, the Jacuzzi create a wonderful image which PROLAT completed ideally with its Quartz Mosaic. It is a top quality floor coating material suitable for various uses, especially on rooftops, terraces, balconies, gardens and areas around swimming pools, as it possesses anti-slip properties and exhibits outstanding mechanical strength.

Mykonos is rightly known as the Queen of the Aegean Sea, for it is difficult, if not impossible, to visit it without falling in love with it – not only for its glamorous, cosmopolitan side that has made it world-famous, but also for its Cycladic beauty, breathtaking landscapes and magical colours: the absolute white of the whitewashed houses, the blue of the sea and the golden of the Greek sun. In the legendary island of the winds, aesthetic standards are exceptionally high and even commercial shops faithfully follow the rules of the traditional architecture characterized by austere, clean lines and surfaces reflecting sunlight. Cava Precious is a typical example of such a shop that reminds of a classical Mykonian house. This type of construction requires materials that combine aesthetic excellence and great durability. PROLAT had the perfect solution for the exterior space around the shop: Quartz Mosaic. It is a particularly practical, top quality material used for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas; for instance, it is suitable for hotels, pedestrian precincts, balconies, terraces and car parks. Quartz Mosaic is very easy to use, as it can be applied to smooth concrete, common cement mortar or old tiles. PROLAT guarantees that it exhibits outstanding mechanical strength, is anti-slip and can be easily cleaned, as it needs no joints. Another significant advantage of Quartz Mosaic is that, thanks to the natural quartz stone contained, it does not fade if exposed to sunlight or any adverse weather conditions and requires no maintenance. Moreover, it is thanks to the different colourations of its quartz stone that it is available in such a wide variety of colours. In this case, PROLAT aptly chose a discreet and relaxing shade of grey that highlights the dazzling white of the entire building and its traditional island architecture, proving once again that simple solutions often are the best.

When choosing construction materials, especially for entertainment venues where image plays a decisive role, such as Huracan restaurant in Glyfada, Athens, we are often faced with a dilemma: should we give priority to the aesthetic or to the practical aspects of a material? Luckily, with PROLAT Quartz Mosaic there are no such dilemmas as, apart from the lovely colors of natural quartz stone that it offers, it also exhibits outstanding mechanical strength and anti-slip properties, does not stain and requires no maintenance. PROLAT guarantees that Quartz Mosaic does not fade if exposed to sunlight and remains unaltered in any weather conditions. But, because no matter how good you are, there is always room for improvement, PROLAT constantly upgrades its products, so Quartz Mosaic is now available in a new variety of colours, such as the one that contains copper filings! The specific material offers an additional advantage: one day after application it may be sealed with the new LavaDrops Gel for extra protection, as all kinds of stains remain only on the surface, which can be easily wiped clean. Moreover, it is a floor that needs no joints, which makes cleaning even easier. For all the above reasons, PROLAT proudly recommends Quartz Mosaic as an ideal, safe and reliable solution both for private and for public outdoor and indoor areas.

The demands of modern life set the bar really high for the construction materials used today, which have to be not only practical, safe and hard-wearing but also aesthetically attractive. The products of PROLAT meet all these requirements. One of them, Quartz Mosaic, was used on the exterior areas and stairs of the house shown in the photo, a cottage in Tolo, a famous resort spread amphitheatrically on one of the most beautiful beaches of the Argolic Gulf. PROLAT recommends Quartz Mosaic for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas, as it is an anti-slip material exhibiting outstanding mechanical strength, which can be applied to smooth concrete, common cement mortar or even old tiles. The natural quartz stone contained does not fade if exposed to sunlight, that’s why PROLAT guarantees that the material remains unaltered even under adverse weather conditions and requires no maintenance. Quartz Mosaic ranks high from aesthetic aspect too, as clearly shown by the picture. That’s why it is an ideal choice for all sorts of constructions, including commercial and public spaces, as well as private residences. (Applied Colour codes: QM6, QM16)

The exterior spaces of a residence are not less important than its interior as they are the first thing a visitor sees and therefore play a decisive role in positive first impressions. That’s why the choice of the right materials matters so much. PROLAT had the most ideal solution for the garden of this small detached house in Kavouri, Athens: Quartz Mosaic, which is suitable for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas, such as gardens, yards, terraces, balconies, and staircases, as well as shop floors, pedestrian precincts and other areas subject to heavy use. Quartz Mosaic, one of the most widely known products of PROLAT, is an anti-slip material that exhibits outstanding mechanical strength. Thanks to the polyurethane resin it contains, it possesses absolute elasticity and is particularly easy to clean, as no joints are needed. PROLAT unconditionally recommends Quartz Mosaic for exterior areas like the garden of this house not only because of its aesthetic advantages and the wonderful colours that it owes to the different colourations of natural quartz stone (the photos speak for themselves), but also because it does not fade or change if exposed to sunlight, humidity and adverse weather conditions in general and requires no maintenance. It is practical, beautiful and hard-wearing; what else could one ask for from a material?

What truly differentiates a product from competition is a richer gamut of specific tangible advantages it offers in comparison to it. Versatility, top quality, durability, usability (for instance, easy cleaning or anti-slip properties) and of course aesthetic excellence are the main features that make a product stand out. Quartz Mosaic by PROLAT exhibits all these desirable attributes. This excellent material, unconditionally recommended mainly for outdoor floor coating in small and big public or private areas so far, as the most suitable solution even for heavy use and frequent vehicle circulation, may now be used as an interior floor as well. The photos of this beautiful elegant kitchen in a residence in Kifissia, Athens, prove it beyond any doubt. PROLAT guarantees that Quartz Mosaic floors are perfectly smooth, as they can now be sealed with a special resin that fills all quartz gaps. As a result, all stains remain 100% on the surface, which is therefore exceptionally easy to mop and clean with ordinary household cleaning agents. Moreover, it is an anti-slip and particularly wear-resistant floor coating with outstanding mechanical strength, available in a wide variety of colours thanks to the different colourations of the natural quartz stone that it contains. And, like all PROLAT products, in addition to its evident practicality, Quartz Mosaic can ensure an impeccable aesthetic result. For all the above reasons, it is now the ideal and most tasteful solution for interior spaces as well, as it fully meets the demands of all sorts of uses.

It is common knowledge that the exterior of a shop has a direct influence on consumers’ crucial first crucial impression and, by extension, on their desire to visit it and their purchase intention. Just like a beautiful cover that tempts you to buy a book and explore its content. Benetton is a company that needs no introduction. It does not rest on the laurels of brand recognition, however, and always makes sure its shops aesthetically reflect the high quality of its products. This is the case with the company shop in Psychico, Athens, where the cooperation between Benetton and PROLAT has led to a particularly successful and attractive result. The product used on the broader exterior space around the shop entrance was Quartz Mosaic, which is ideal for floor coating mainly in outdoor areas. PROLAT has many reasons to be proud of its Quartz Mosaic: it is an anti-slip material that exhibits remarkable mechanical strength, does not need joints and is very easy to clean. Furthermore, it is available in a rich variety of colours thanks to the different colourations of the natural quartz stone, which also ensures a beautiful appearance and has an additional advantage: it does not fade if exposed to sunlight. This is why PROLAT can reliably guarantee that Quartz Mosaic remains unaltered in any weather conditions and requires no maintenance, which therefore makes it the best choice for exterior floor coating of all types and for any use.

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.

In Paros, one of the most beautiful and fertile Cycladic islands, famous for its fine white marble and endless sandy beaches, building lines and colours have been clearly influenced by the austere landscape, which is dominated by the dazzling sun and the meltemi winds, and love for tradition. PROLAT has left its mark on a spacious and functional private house that combines the best elements of Cycladic architecture with all the comforts of contemporary life, using two of its most popular products: quartz mosaic and Lavaplaster. Quartz mosaic was used for outdoor floor coating; it is a particularly durable anti-slip material that is not affected by chemical cleaners and does not need maintenance, which makes it ideal for surfaces exposed to rough use and harsh weather conditions. For interior floors and bathrooms, PROLAT chose Lavaplaster, an eco-friendly, natural and bioclimatic material, which, in addition, is totally waterproof. Quartz mosaic and Lavaplaster are two top quality and easy to use products of PROLAT that offer an exceptional aesthetic result plus excellent durability, thus meeting all modern construction requirements.

In a country with a Mediterranean climate and lots of sunny days like Greece, balconies and terraces are much more important and useful than in the colder and rainier western and northern countries, as they are essentially an extension of the usable space of a residence or shop.

PROLAT quartz mosaic, an anti-slip material unaffected by chemical cleaning agents, exhibits outstanding mechanical strength and does not require maintenance, which makes it ideal for such outdoor floors. It is available in a wide variety of colours and the absence of joints makes the space look bigger, which is why the aesthetic dimension of the final result fully meets even the most demanding expectations.

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.

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.

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.

Porto Rafti, an idyllic resort in East Attica far enough from the capital centre to remind of a holiday destination and close enough to be easily accessible to Athenians, sports a wide variety of quality restaurants. One of the newest ones is Kasap Steakhouse, which, as its name denotes, specializes in meat dishes. Kasap welcomes customers not only with its delectable specialities but also with its pleasant, friendly and hospitable environment. PROLAT has played a decisive role in the creation of this environment, coating all floors with quartz mosaic, a particularly hard-wearing material resistant to wear due to dragging furniture such as chairs and tables, inalterable in time and washable even with a pressure washer hose. Lavaplaster, another popular product of PROLAT has also been chosen both for the bathroom and for interior walls, where a very special style has been used with an evidently tasteful and attractive final result. The photos prove beyond any doubt the significance of selecting the appropriate materials in the creation of any professional or domestic environment according to the highest aesthetic and quality standards.

PROLAT contributed to the creation of this friendly and welcoming environment, covering all floors with quartz mosaic, a product ideal for surfaces demanding coating materials of great durability. Quartz mosaic by PROLAT is not subject either to everyday use wear or to friction due to dragging tables and chairs because it is a particularly strong material containing real natural quartz stone. In addition, it is anti-slip and available in a wide variety of colours, and it does not require maintenance. The final result is aesthetically pleasing, safe and, above all, perfectly functional.

Exarcheia, one of the most fascinating historical districts of the Greek capital, is famous not only for its lively, insubordinate character and its rebellious aura, but also for its authenticity, its various hangouts of artists, students and intellectuals and its architectural diversity, reflected in old neoclassical mansions, bohemian corners, houses and little shops reminding of old Athens. It was in such a picturesque little house that the intervention of PROLAT was needed. LavaPlaster was applied to the staircase and quartz mosaic to the yard. It is worth noting that PROLAT quartz mosaic can literally transform a balcony or a yard into a particularly tasteful and pleasant space; and, what is more, it is wear resistant, does not require maintenance and possesses anti-slip properties. This is how an old building may be converted into a modern, functional and attractive residence.

The picturesque village of Tyros, situated among the fjords of the lacy coastline of Eastern Peloponnese, charms every visitor with its peaceful scenic beauty and crystal clear waters. There, perched on the plateau of a steep slope, Villa Melana faces the enormity of the open horizon. The complex, an architectural creation of Valia Foufa and Panagiotis Papassotiriou, consists of three distinct volumes and is clad in Arcadian stone, thus blending perfectly with its natural surroundings. PROLAT has had a double contribution to the particularly attractive final result, coating the interior spaces of the villa with Lavaplaster and applying quartz mosaic to all exterior surfaces, especially around the infinity pool that looks like a natural extension of the sea. Quartz mosaic by PROLAT, which is 100% anti-slip and extremely resistant, is an ideal solution for the areas around swimming pools and all exterior spaces in general. And it is available in a variety of colours ensuring colour harmony and balance, which is one of the most important elements of a tasteful, relaxing and, most of all, pleasant environment.

On the captivating island of Syros, the “Lady of the Aegean”, where Cycladic culture coexists with medieval charm and neoclassical elegance, you often have the impression that time has stopped and you are back in the days of the Venetians and the pirates. This is why, when constructing a new building, one has a great responsibility: to be faithful to the tradition and the aristocratic aura that have characterized this unique architectural environment for centuries. This spacious and functional country house, built on a smooth hillside with an unlimited view of the sea, thanks to its natural building materials and its discreet colours seems to be a natural part of the serene landscape that surrounds it. PROLAT had the ideal solution for the exterior surfaces: quartz mosaic, a material that is known to exhibit an outstanding mechanical strength, does not require maintenance and is available in a rich variety of colours. PROLAT has contributed creatively to the interior of this impressive house as well, with an original and very practical Betocore table that has a concrete appearance and texture, but is very light and easy to move. Its minimalistic design and mild colour shades add a modern touch to the room and are particularly restful to the eye. The final result offers what we all desperately need both in our everyday life and when we are on holiday: class, comfort and peace.

City life can be exhausting and everybody wishes for an antidote to monotony and fatigue. Fortunately, even in the chaos of a metropolis, you can always discover small oases that can offer you a valuable break from the stress and pressure of everyday life; for instance, hangouts with authentic Italian cuisine reminding of homemade food at its best… such as Casa di Rena, in Kifissia, Athens. Before you lose yourself in the magic of its delicious choices, you have the chance to relax in its warm and friendly environment. PROLAT has decisively contributed to the creation of this attractive environment: apart from Lavaplaster, which has been used in the modern bathrooms of the restaurant, PROLAT has also coated all floors, both exterior and interior, with quartz mosaic, a material known for its high quality and versatility. The result is a functional and tasteful uninterrupted surface with no joints. The specific floor coating material, thanks to its quartz content, is particularly wear-resistant and suitable for all sorts of hard use. In addition, it is not affected by ordinary household chemicals and cleaning agents, therefore it is very easy to mop and clean. Modern life is challenging and hectic; hospitable corners like Casa di Rena make it more pleasant. And quality products like those of PROLAT thankfully make it easier!

We finally got lucky and managed to spend a weekend in snow-covered Kalavrita. Of course those who live in places of such scenic beauty are the luckiest of all… Such beautiful landscapes abound in Greece. And look at this amazing house! The industrial style seems to combine so perfectly with comfort and tradition against the backdrop of this classical mountainous scenery. Bllend Design renovated and radically changed the interior of this residence in Kalavrita. Lavaplaster on floors and walls and a fabulous table of quartz mosaic are perfect examples of the touch of timeless luxury that PROLAT products can give to any place.

Imagine relaxing on a beach of the Messinian Gulf with crystal clear waters at your feet. The forested slopes of Mount Taygetos and the vast olive groves, where the summer breeze meets the fresh mountain air, ideally complete the picture. Asanti Villas, in Neohori, just a few minutes from the beautiful sea resort of Stoupa, consist of two luxury villas with a common swimming pool and command a stunning view. They have been designed to combine respect for traditional local architecture and functionality, with a touch of minimalist aesthetics that you will find simply irresistible. PROLAT, with its Lavaplaster applied to the bathrooms and Quartz Mosaic to the swimming pool, has contributed to the creation of this jewel of the Messinian land and invites you to visit and enjoy it!

You are out having a drink with friends. And then you get hungry. No problem! You order an Italian style thin-crust pizza and keep chatting and drinking with your friends. The Saint’s in Maroussi is a bar ‘n’ pizza ideal for any time of the day. The quartz floor of PROLAT gives a sense of continuity between the interior and the exterior, inviting us to enjoy an all day place with a beautiful design and nice hot coffee.

With the financial crisis still in full swing, summer holidays are becoming less and less affordable, but the truth is that we desperately need them! Most of us will choose some seaside place. Dion Palace, in Litochoro, looks like an excellent choice. Recently renewed and renovated by Antonis Kalogridis, with island type Lavaplaster inside the rooms and anti-slip quartz mosaic on exterior surfaces, it is ready to welcome us and give us the chance to enjoy the beautiful environment and the crystal clear blue sea of Pieria, the land of gods.

The offices of Microsoft Hellas are in Marousi. A&M Architects have done another great job that reflects their creative architectural aesthetics: they have renovated all the areas inside and outside the building. PROLAT quartz mosaic was applied to exterior walls and floors, as it is a material resistant to all weather conditions, lending beauty and character to the building.
