ThermoSan NQG. Protects more than just façades.
All over Europe, houses painted with ThermoSan NQG have passed the test of time. In Sweden, we visited house owner Bengt at his lakeside residence and learned about façade protection – be it from extreme weather conditions, pollution, organisms, and UV radiation. The region surrounding his alluring abode sees many weather changes over the year; temperatures can range from minus degrees to mid-twenties in a season. To protect his house from this ever-changing climate, Bengt had to face many challenges during the renovation. Choosing the right paint wasn't one of them. And it proved to be the right decision for a while now – find out more by clicking the video below and take a look over Bengt's shoulder to find out how ThermoSan NQG provided him with protection and stability for his abode and therefore himself.
One paint to fight all external influences
Extreme long-term protection for perfect surfaces.
Weather influences, algae, polluted air: façades are exposed to high levels of stress, which can quickly make costly renovation work necessary if the protection is inadequate. ThermoSan NQG is a next-generation façade paint developed byCaparol that offers long-term, all-around protection against the greatest dangers to façades. Check the demonstration below to find out, which types of façade attacking factors ThermoSan NQG will repel.
Utmost protection against algae and funghi
Moisture is distributed better and evaporates extremely quickly. The result: virtually no chance for algae and fungi. A preservative coating provides additional protection.
Maximum colour stability
Long-lasting protection against sunlight and colour fading thanks to UV-resistant binder and exceptionally lightfast colour pigments.
Highly dirt-repellent and self-cleaning
Effective prevention of soiling and adhesion of fine dust. Temporarily adhering dirt is washed away with the next rainfall.
