Mineral substrates such as concrete, masonry and lime plaster pose unique challenges for the application of coatings. These porous materials can absorb moisture, which must be factored into the choice of coating. Adhesion, durability and breathability are key factors in achieving long-lasting results.

Mineral substrates require careful preparation and the right choice of coating. Due to their structure and porosity, these substrates require specially formulated paints and plasters that offer strong adhesion while maintaining vapour permeability. This enables the wall’s natural moisture content to be regulated without causing blistering or flaking. Mineral-based coatings are also ideal for use in older buildings and for the restoration of historic structures.
