Self-cleaning exterior paint


Example of what we do

We have always searched for the best quality paints for your property. We have recently begun using a very exiting new product. StoLotusan Color is a 'self-cleaning paint!'

The Work Of The Devil?

In a recent episode of Channel 4's 'Grand Designs', Kevin McCloud called ths paint 'the work of the devil' (watch the clip below!). There is a good scientific explanation though.

Lotus-Effect

The paint contains water-repellent Lotus-Effect which sheds water from a surface as it rains. This process removes dirt and grime from exterior walls. Water cannot maintain surface contact and the wall dries quickly. Without water, micro-organisms such as algae, fungus and bacteria cannot survive.

The use of StoLotusan Color will play a major part in helping to protect your property and keep it looking clean. It comes in a choice of 500 different colours!
