Beeck's range of active silicate paints and treatments for plaster and masonry surfaces is now available in the UK.
The paints integrate chemically with a building's materials, creating a permeable, self-cleaning surface that will breathe with the base material: plaster, render, stone, brick or concrete. As the paints are permeable, the manufacturer says that they will not bubble, crack or peel.
Over 300 light-fast colours are available. The Beeck Colorsil range includes the primary colours and more than a hundred intermediate hues, while Beeck Antik is a selection of matt, light-fast colours suitable for use in historic restoration work.
Because they form a crystalline surface, the paints are repellent to surface water, algae and fungi, and have a zero surface spread of flame rating.
Like the company's entire range of surfacing products, its active silicate paints are made from natural ingredients and are environmentally safe. The are among the few genuinely pure masonry paints.
