If you own a home on the Costa del Sol, you’ll know that the sun, salt, and seasonal rain can take a toll on your property’s exterior. Whether you live in Spain full-time or own a holiday villa, keeping your home’s facade looking fresh and well-protected is essential—not just for aesthetics, but for long-term durability.
That’s where ProPERLA Facade Coating comes in. This innovative protective treatment is designed to shield your home’s exterior from the harsh Spanish climate, ensuring it stays cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient. But what exactly makes ProPERLA Facade Coatings ideal for homes in Spain? Let’s take a closer look.
What Is ProPERLA Facade Coating?
ProPERLA is a high-performance, waterproof, breathable coating that protects your home’s exterior while allowing the walls to release moisture. Unlike traditional paints or sealants, ProPERLA uses advanced hydrophobic technology to repel water and prevent dirt from sticking to the surface.
In the UK, Universal Eco Homes is one of the few Approved Platinum Applicators of ProPERLA products—in fact, we are the only ProPERLA Approved Platinum Applicator within 140 miles of our UK HQ in Colchester, Essex. This accreditation is only given to companies that meet ProPERLA’s strict application and quality standards, ensuring homeowners get the best possible results. It is this level of dedication to excellence that we will be bringing to the Spanish coast.

Why Is ProPERLA Perfect for Spanish Homes?
Homes in southern Spain face unique environmental challenges that can cause long-term damage to exterior walls. ProPERLA Facade Coatings offer a long-lasting solution to protect against these issues.
1. Self-Cleaning & Low Maintenance
Costa del Sol homes are exposed to dust, Saharan sand, sea salt, and airborne pollutants, which can leave facades looking dull and dirty. Thanks to ProPERLA’s self-cleaning properties, rainwater effortlessly washes away dirt, sand and grime, keeping your walls looking fresh with minimal upkeep.
2. Waterproof Yet Breathable
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is applying a coating that seals moisture inside the walls. ProPERLA prevents water penetration while allowing moisture to escape, which helps to reduce damp problems, peeling paint, and structural issues.
3. Protection Against Mould & Algae Growth
Shaded or north-facing walls often suffer from unsightly mould, mildew, and algae. ProPERLA’s hydrophobic technology ensures that your walls stay dry and resistant to biological hazards, reducing the need for constant cleaning.
4. Energy Efficiency & Thermal Protection
Did you know that damp walls lose heat up to twice as fast as dry walls? By keeping your walls dry, ProPERLA helps improve your home’s thermal efficiency, making it easier to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. This can help reduce energy bills—an added bonus for homeowners looking to cut costs.
5. Long-Lasting & Cost-Effective
Unlike standard paints that crack and fade in the Spanish sun, ProPERLA Facade Coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee and a 25-year life expectancy. Investing in this coating means fewer repaints and a home that stays looking fresh for decades.
