ThermoSan NQG. Protects more than just façades.
All over Europe, houses painted with ThermoSan NQG have passed the test of time. In France and the Netherlands, we accompanied paint whole-seller Hans and Nicolas, who manages his painting firm. We welcome you to join them and their façade renovation projects concerning a multi-unit housing complex in the busy tri-border region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and a historic, protected building in the south of France next door to the Mediterranean Sea. The massive projects themselves, as well as the circumstances of each location, offer some challenges to the whole-seller, managing director and his craftsmen, although choosing the right paint wasn't one of them. Find out more about how ThermoSan NQG helped both Hans and Nicolas in bettering their businesses by reducing a lot of work due to the amazing quality the paint holds within itself. See for yourself, how ThermoSan has been providing our customers with protection and stability – for their housing complexes, the residents, and their own lives..
One paint fights 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, therefore posing a challenge for both craftsmen, property owners, and their managers. ThermoSan NQG is a next-generation façade paint developed by Caparol that offers long-term, all-around protection against all types of façade- damaging factors.
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.
Find out how it's made possible with NQG:
In NQG paints, pigments and fillers are firmly bonded together in a microscopic grid structure. This results in surfaces of astonishing colour brilliance and utmost resilience. Check out the video below to find out what NQG stands for and how it will protect your façade.
ThermoSan NQG façades stay clean and beautiful for a longer time.
This extends the time until the next renovation becomes necessary, enabling significant cost savings.
One-time renovation costs
The one-time renovation costs are only slightly higher with ThermoSan NQG due to its premium material quality. Scaffolding, surface preparation, and labour cost the same no matter which paint is applied.
Lifetime renovation costs
Due to the stronger façade protection, only 3 instead of 4 renovation intervals become necessary. Within the same timeframe, ThermoSan NQG leads to cost savings of 15%, or in this example, 43.337 €.

Frequently Asked Questions
The length of a typical renovation cycle depends heavily on the local conditions concerning weather, pollution and other influences such as abrasive salty sea breezes in areas close to an ocean. European façade renovation cycles typically last up to 10 years, but can also be longer or shorter. However, it has been proven that ThermoSan extends the renovation cycle by 33 per cent compared to standard façade paint.
As with any façade paint, you should properly prepare the surface you're wishing to paint beforehand. When using ThermoSan NQG you should use a specialised primer according to the façade structure you're facing. You or your craftsmen can find out more about which primer to use in the Technical Specification Sheet Nr. 650.
Due to ThermoSan NQG's longer lifespan, you need less paint compared to other façade paints, which reduces the impact on the environment over renovation cycles. ThermoSan NQG is furthermore produced in Germany, the production facility located in Ober-Rammstatt additionally operates carbon-neutral to lessen the environmental impact.
Due to the Nano-Quartz technology (NQG) utilized in ThermoSan, the paint requires a fewer amount of binders than conventional façade paints. This is why ThermoSan NQG ranks in the best binder class in the German Classification System, which proves the paint to be very colour stable.

There are three criteria to classify façade paints: Binder class, water vapour permeability and water absorption capacity. The last two determine the susceptibility to algae formation.
