If your property is brick or stone we can help to protect your property from the elements by applying ProPERLA Masonry crème, this superhydrophic coating will create a 'lotus leaf' effect on the exterior facades of your property, helping your property fight the great British inclement weather, offering protection from penetrating damp. ProPERLA Masonry crème by design is classed as highly breathable meaning your bricks or stone aren’t sealed, but allowed to breath, allowing moisture out but stopping moisture from coming in.

Specialists in Damp Proofing
Our range of ProPERLA coatings are the newest and most advanced ways of providing a maintenance free barrier around your home. Whether you have painted brick or rendering, the facade coating absorbs in to the substrate and provides a breathable, waterproof and self cleaning surface in a colour of your choice.
Any rendering repairs are carried out prior to coating and after installation ProPERLA is guaranteed for 10 years with a lifespan of between 20 and 25 years.
Energy Efficiency
To test the thermal performance benefits of ProPERLA wall coatings, temperature readings were taken before, during and after the accelerated weathering test.
Bricks coated with ProPERLA were found to be more energy efficient than uncoated ones. The thermal image here was taken of the rear of the wall during a rain cycle and it clearly shows a 6oC temperature differential between The uncoated bricks. The uncoated brick panel is in the middle.
Highly Breathable
Testing was conducted to determine the effect ProPERLA wall coatings have on the ability of the bricks to allow moisture to escape.
Specimens of ProPERLA coated bricks were submitted for the determination of water vapour resistance using the wet-cup method.
ProPERLA wall coatings were found to have little effect on the breathability of the brick substrata. This mean SD value of the uncoated specimens was 0.57, compared to 0.56 and 0.60 for specimens coated with ProPERLA Masonry Crème and ProPERLA facade Coating.

PROPERLA
Independently Tested
ProPERLA Masonry Crème and ProPERLA facade Coating have been independently tested by the UKAS accredited testing and analysis laboratory, Lucideon, to give you peace of mind.
Lucideon’s world-leading testing and characterization laboratories enabled them to scientifically and impartially test ProPERLA wall coatings to ensure they are fit for purpose and conform to regulations.
25 Year Performance
To determine the long term performance of ProPERLA wall coatings, the coatings were subjected to repeated heat-rain cycles followed by heat-cold cycles at controlled humidity to simulate weathering correlating to 25 years exposure.
The result revealed no change in performance or aesthetic appearance after accelerated weather testing. There was also no evidence of water penetration and a restriction in salt efflorescence compared to uncoated bricks.
