FACADE COATINGS:

Introduction:

ProPERLA Facade Coating is a technologically advanced, two-coat coloured exterior wall treatment designed to protect and enhance mineral building materials such as brick, stone, and concrete. Manufactured in Germany, this coating utilizes the latest nano-technology to provide a super-hydrophobic surface that significantly reduces water absorption by up to 96%. With a life expectancy of 25 years and a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, it offers long-term performance and aesthetic appeal.

Key Features:

Super Hydrophobic Surface:
Repels water effectively, causing it to bead and run off, thereby reducing water absorption.

Breathable:
Allows moisture within the walls to escape, preventing trapped moisture and related issues.

Self-Cleaning:
Mimics the 'lotus effect,' where dirt and other contaminants are unable to adhere and are washed away by rain.

Thermal Efficiency:
By keeping walls dry, it enhances thermal insulation, reducing heat loss.

Durability:
Tested to withstand harsh weather conditions for a minimum of 25 years.

Aesthetic Appeal:
Available in a range of pastel shades with a matte finish that enhances the building's exterior.

Protection Against Biological Growth:
Discourages the growth of moss, algae, and lichens.

Certified Performance:
Meets several standards, including BS EN ISO 7783:2011 for water vapour resistance.


Stay Dry & Warm:

The coating creates a super-hydrophobic surface, often referred to as the 'lotus effect,' which causes water to bead and run off, significantly reducing water absorption by up to 93.4%.
This reduction in moisture ingress helps prevent damp-related issues and minimizes frost damage.
By keeping walls dry, the coating improves thermal efficiency, reducing heat loss and potentially lowering energy bills.
Tests have shown that damp walls can lose heat up to twice as fast as dry ones.

Breathable:

Despite its water-repellent properties, ProPERLA Facade Coating remains highly breathable.
It allows water vapour from inside the building to escape through the walls, preventing condensation build-up and structural issues due to trapped moisture.
This breathability ensures that the building envelope maintains its ability to 'breathe,' contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

Prevent & Protect:

Self-Cleaning Surface:
The coating creates a surface where dirt particles cannot adhere, and are washed away by rainfall, keeping the facade clean with minimal maintenance.

Biological Growth Resistance:
The dry surface deters the growth of moss, algae, and lichens, preserving the building's appearance and structural integrity.

Protection Against Weathering:
Helps to prevent discolouration and slows the ageing or breakdown of the building's surface by protecting it from the damaging effects of weather, including wind-driven rain, frost, high humidity, and sea salt.

UV Resistance:
The coating's performance is unaffected by UV rays, ensuring long-term colour stability and aesthetic appeal.

Proven Performance:
ProPERLA Facade Coating has undergone rigorous independent testing by UKAS accredited laboratories and has been proven to meet several standards:
EAD 090062-00-0404: 25-year hygrothermal performance.
EAD 040083-00-0404: External thermal insulation composite systems.
BS EN ISO 7783:2011: Water vapour diffusion (breathability).
BS EN ISO 12572: Water vapour resistance.

These certifications confirm the coating's durability, thermal insulating properties, breathability, and water repellency, providing peace of mind regarding its long-term performance.
