What Is ProPERLA and Why You Should Protect Your Roof and Walls
In the UK’s damp, changeable climate, your property’s exterior faces constant stress from wind, rain, frost and pollution.
Over time, porous brickwork and roof tiles absorb water — leading to moss growth, staining and reduced insulation efficiency.
At Elite Home Construction, we recommend ProPERLA as the ideal solution to protect and preserve your roof and walls.
This advanced coating technology forms an invisible, breathable barrier that keeps surfaces dry, clean and energy-efficient for years.
What Is ProPERLA?
ProPERLA is a hydrophobic wall and roof coating system designed to repel water and resist dirt, moss and pollution.
It’s BBA-approved, proven to reduce water absorption by up to 96%, and lasts for over 20 years with minimal maintenance.
Unlike standard paints or sealants, ProPERLA chemically bonds with mineral surfaces, allowing vapour to escape while preventing rain penetration.
This “self-cleaning” effect means walls and tiles stay dry — and a dry wall is a warm wall.
How It Works
- Hydrophobic Technology: Water simply beads and rolls off the surface instead of soaking in.
- Breathable Barrier: Moisture inside the building can still escape, preventing trapped condensation.
- Thermal Efficiency: By keeping masonry dry, ProPERLA reduces heat loss by up to 6%.
- UV Resistant: It protects surfaces from fading and weather damage.
- Mould & Algae Resistant: Surfaces stay cleaner for longer, saving on future maintenance costs.
The result? A property that looks newer, performs better, and stays protected all year round.
Where Can ProPERLA Be Applied?
ProPERLA coatings can be used on:
- Roof Tiles (clay, slate or concrete) – protects from moss, frost and water damage.
- Brickwork and Rendered Walls – prevents damp penetration and efflorescence.
- Pebbledash or Stone Finishes – restores colour and prevents green algae build-up.
Our experts will assess your property and recommend the most suitable ProPERLA product, including ProPERLA Masonry Crème for walls and ProPERLA Roof Coating for tiles.
