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.

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

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? In TAF Tennis Club, in Pallini, Attica, you have the chance to rest and relax in a beautiful and comfortable green environment while enjoying a cup of coffee, a healthy snack or a popular sport like tennis in modern courts of the highest standards, under the guidance of experienced instructors, if necessary. PROLAT has made sure all exterior spaces of TAF Tennis Club are safe, coating them with one of its most popular products, Quartz Mosaic. It is an anti-slip material exhibiting outstanding mechanical strength and excellent elasticity. PROLAT recommends it for all sorts of public and private areas, such as sports facilities, hotels, pedestrian precincts, and car parks, as well as garden walkways, terraces, staircases and balconies of private residences etc., even in conditions of heavy use or frequent circulation. Furthermore, Quartz Mosaic needs no joints, therefore it is particularly easy to clean. PROLAT guarantees that Quartz Mosaic, thanks to the natural stone it contains, does not fade if exposed to sunlight or adverse weather conditions and requires no maintenance. And it is to this natural quartz stone that it owes the wide variety of colours in which it is available. The selection of suitable quality materials is the key to the creation of safe, functional and aesthetically attractive places and TAF Tennis Club is one more case that proves this beyond any doubt.

PROLAT travelled once again to Paros, the beloved Cycladic island that is famous for its beautiful traditional villages and stunning golden beaches. There, in Parikia, the picturesque capital of the island that captivates the visitor with its paved alleys, whitewashed houses and little yards bursting with flowers, PROLAT had the chance to leave its creative mark on one of the most elegant and tasteful buildings of the area with one of its most popular products: LavaPaint.  Because a special building like the old Petros Ragousis edifice, which has been proudly surveying the port since 1887, deserves nothing but the most special materials. And LavaPaint stands out indeed because it doesn’t merely give a monotonously uniform plastic surface, but offers a particularly attractive aesthetic result thanks to its slightly coarse texture that creates a pleasantly rugged sense of naturalness. Moreover, the colour that was chosen perfectly matches the island’s atmosphere and residential environment. PROLAT recommends LavaPaint with Kourasani for interior and exterior walls both in new works and in restorations, for their transformation into monolithic, waterproof, coloured surfaces. The product is also available in a special edition as a finishing render in exterior thermal insulation systems. LavaPaint guarantees all three desirable properties of a top quality paint: practicality, durability and beauty.

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 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. Quartz Mosaic, one of the most popular products of PROLAT, possesses great elasticity due to the polyurethane resin that it contains and is not affected by small capillary cracks in the substrate. Moreover, it is available in a rich variety of colors thanks to the different colorations of natural quartz stone, which, precisely because it is natural, does not fade if exposed to sunlight; the floor remains unaffected even by the most adverse weather conditions and requires no maintenance. Like all solutions proposed by PROLAT, Quartz Mosaic combines the full spectrum of a top quality product’s practical properties with a really perfect aesthetic result. The pictures prove it beyond any doubt.

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.
