Preserving the Value of Your Property through Substance Protection
What is a preventive protective coating?
A preventive protective coating is an advanced, mineral-based or silicate-based treatment for wall and ceiling surfaces. Unlike conventional paints, it does not seal the surface but creates a microporous, breathable protective layer. This layer prevents the penetration of liquid water into the building fabric, while at the same time allowing water vapour to escape from the masonry. This intelligent moisture exchange regulates the indoor climate, prevents condensation on the walls, and deprives mould of the essential moisture it needs to grow.

The scientific principles: How does the protective mechanism work?
The effectiveness of our protective coating is based on a dual physical-chemical principle. Physically, a hydrophobising (water-repellent) matrix ensures that water droplets bead off the surface, drastically reducing the capillary absorption capacity of the building material. Chemically, the high alkalinity of the coating (pH value > 12) creates an environment in which mould spores cannot germinate. The key factor is its vapour permeability: The pore structure remains open, allowing the wall to 'breathe' and release moisture from the masonry into the indoor air.
Applications: Where is a protective coating most useful?
Preventive protective coatings achieve their maximum effect in areas with increased moisture exposure. These particularly include basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Even in bedrooms, especially on cool external walls behind furniture, the coating effectively prevents condensation and mould. In new buildings, it ensures a dry structural fabric from the start. For landlords, it is an essential measure for maintenance and avoiding disputes over mould issues.
Benefits for Homeowners and Landlords
For homeowners, investing in a protective coating means preserving value in the long term and ensuring a healthy home. They avoid costly renovations and protect their family's health. Landlords fulfil their maintenance obligations, minimise the risk of rent reductions, and increase the attractiveness of their property. A proactively protected home is a strong argument for satisfied, long-term tenancies and a solid return. The measure is a sustainable investment in the substance and value of the property.
Health in Focus: Safe for Families, Children, and Pets
The protective coatings provided by therlo are selected according to the strictest health and safety standards. They are generally solvent-free, low in emissions, and free from biocides or fungicides. Protection against mould is created purely physically and through the alkaline environment, not by chemical toxins. After drying, the surface is completely safe and odourless. This makes it the ideal solution for sensitive environments such as children's rooms, sleeping areas, and households with pets.

The difference compared to conventional wall paints and barrier layers
Traditional emulsion paints offer little protection against moisture. So-called "anti-mould paints" often contain biocides, whose effectiveness diminishes over time and can release harmful substances. Absolute barrier layers, such as dense latex paints, are even more problematic: they trap moisture within the masonry, which can lead to severe structural damage. Our preventive protective coating, on the other hand, works with the physics of the building. It is the breathable, sustainable, and health-friendly alternative that solves problems at their root.
Installation and Preparation: The Path to the Protected Wall
Proper application is crucial for effectiveness. The process begins with an analysis and preparation of the substrate. Loose parts or old layers of paint must be removed, and any mould infestation must be professionally eliminated. The substrate must be clean, dry, and stable. Subsequently, the coating is typically applied in two stages by a qualified specialist company, with drying times being essential for the formation of the protective microstructure.
Long-term care and value preservation
A wall treated with our protective technology is extremely easy to maintain and durable. The surface is robust and abrasion-resistant. Usually, a damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. The preventive effect lasts for many years. If a new colour design is desired, the coating can easily be painted over with a diffusion-open (breathable) silicate or dispersion-silicate paint. This way, you combine long-lasting protection with individual design freedom and preserve the value of your property.
