When you first bought your dream home on the Spanish coast, you probably didn’t imagine the paintwork would start fading or flaking quite so quickly. But if you’ve already had to touch up the outside of your property once (or more!) since moving in, you’re not alone. More and more British expats living in areas like Málaga and Marbella are beginning to realise that exterior painters may not be giving them the long-lasting protection they need.
And it’s not their fault, it’s the nature of traditional exterior paint in this unforgiving Mediterranean climate. With the intense UV rays, salty air, and humid winters, standard paint doesn’t stand a chance. That’s why so many homeowners just like you are making the switch to ProPERLA facade coatings instead.
Let’s break down exactly why wall coatings are becoming the go-to choice for savvy expat homeowners, and why trusting a team like ours at Universal Eco Homes is a smart move.
Here’s the thing about traditional exterior painters. Most offer a service that makes your home look lovely, for a short while. But standard masonry paint simply sits on the surface of your walls, which means it’s vulnerable to cracking, fading, and peeling over time. In a climate like the Costa del Sol’s, that deterioration happens fast.
In contrast, the coatings for walls that we use, like ProPERLA, are designed not just to enhance your home’s appearance but to protect it. Our ProPERLA facade coating chemically bonds with the surface of your exterior walls, creating a breathable, water-repellent layer that resists moisture, dirt, UV damage, and even salt from the sea air.
It’s not just a paint job. It’s a long-term investment in your home.
Durability: Our coatings come with up to a 20-year guarantee. Compare that to standard paint, which may last only 2–5 years in the Spanish sun.
Protection from damp: Unlike paint, our coatings for walls are breathable, meaning moisture can escape from your walls without letting new damp in.
Low maintenance: Once applied, ProPERLA coatings resist dirt and algae, so your walls stay cleaner for longer with minimal upkeep.
Energy efficiency: Our coatings improve thermal performance by keeping walls dry, which can help reduce cooling costs during Spain’s hot summers.
We understand that hiring tradespeople in a foreign country can be daunting, especially when it comes to something as visible (and vital) as your home’s exterior. That’s why we make it our mission to be approachable, trustworthy, and transparent. But don’t just take our word for it, we have over 1000 reviews on TrustATrader that back us up.
Unlike most exterior painters in the area, we’re fully authorised and trained Platinum Approved Applicators for ProPERLA, a certification that only a select number of companies across Europe can claim. Every project we complete is submitted to ProPERLA for quality assurance, which means you can be confident that your home will receive the absolute best in industry standards.
And because we’re a family-run business with over 30 years of combined experience, you’ll always deal with a friendly, knowledgeable team who treat your home like it’s our own.
If you’ve grown tired of dealing with fading paint and unreliable exterior painters, now is the perfect time to try something different. Our professional wall coatings are specially formulated for homes along the Spanish coast, offering unbeatable protection and stunning curb appeal.
Whether you live in your property full-time or just visit a few times a year, you’ll benefit from a finish that stays looking fresh with minimal effort. And with a free site survey, there’s absolutely no risk in finding out more.
