Have you ever heard the expression “the skin of a building<\/strong>”?<\/p>\n

It has become very popular in recent years as a way of adding a new dimension to architectural projects<\/strong>. Come to think of it, our skin is one of the most important organs of the human body. Regarded as a “boundary organ”, it separates the “inside” from the “outside”, preserving and protecting the internal organs against external stress. What’s more, it is a sensory organ that performs a crucial role in perception processes: our skin reacts with “chills” or “tingles” to stimuli, such as when we first meet a new person.<\/p>\n

In a similar way, the shell of a building not only separates the inside from the outside<\/strong>, but also embodies a series of meanings that transcend the function we commonly associate with it.<\/p>\n

The value of wall paint for exteriors<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The “skin of a building<\/strong>” refers to all the materials used to create this element and thus has a unique value:<\/p>\n

• facades<\/strong>, as they are commonly called, are without doubt the distinctive feature of a building<\/strong>. When we observe the facades, frontispieces and decorations defining buildings of bygone ages, we can still distinguish their distinctive features and the era in which they were built;
• technological progress <\/strong>and the strong emphasis on this element of the building has led to a detailed design<\/strong> which is often far more sophisticated than the architectural solutions adopted in the interiors;
• the “skin of a building” plays a decisive role in the project. The architectural composition of facades combines a variety of different materials, colours, volumes and door\/window sizes<\/strong> that add character to the building.<\/p>\n

Types of paints for exteriors: the VALPAINT solutions<\/p>\n

<\/strong>In the architectural design of buildings, wall paints for exterior use<\/strong><\/a> are highly diversified: we can find the most technologically-oriented and modern<\/strong> solutions, just as well as minimalist versions<\/strong> and even traditional ones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KLONDIKE CORTEN, the siloxane paint for exteriors<\/p>\n

<\/strong>In recent years, the use<\/strong> of metal, more specifically rusty metal<\/strong> – in its renowned corten-finish variation<\/strong> – has earned widespread attention among designers and architects around the globe who have come up with some truly sensational solutions<\/strong>. One such example is the famous Caixa Forum Madrid<\/strong> designed by the Herzog & de Meuron architecture studio, in which corten steel is the project’s distinctive and decisive element. Another example is the project by the BUSarchitektur studio for the WU Campus in Vienna<\/strong>, in which corten is the real skin of the building.<\/p>\n

\"04_2BlogMarzo_pittura_per_esterni_colorata\"<\/p>\n

VALPAINT, an Italian company leader in the development and production of decorative paints, has also chosen to draw inspiration from the beauty of corten to create a coloured paint for exteriors<\/strong> capable of embodying the characteristics of corten steel from an aesthetic and functional perspective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KLONDIKE CORTEN<\/strong><\/a> by VALPAINT is a coating for exteriors and interiors <\/strong>that:<\/p>\n

• is characterised by a unique colour, with nuances ranging from dark red to brownish that enhance the metal-like finishes typically associated with rusty iron;
• is unequivocally reminiscent of rusty iron also to the touch, since its surface is not perfectly smooth but slightly coarse;
• consists of micro-ceramic spheres which, together with its siloxane features<\/strong>, make it among the finest paints for exteriors<\/strong>;
• is able to offer very high mechanical performances<\/strong>: in its Top version, the water hitting the surfaces slides off with the typical “lotus effect”, carrying away dust and small impurities from the surfaces.<\/p>\n

This paint for exteriors<\/strong> can be applied with two techniques<\/strong> that determine the final aesthetic outcome:<\/p>\n

1. a polished-plaster effect <\/strong>in which the product is distributed more uniformly and evenly;
2. a streaked and dripped effect <\/strong>creating a pattern that resembles weathered iron.<\/p>\n

METEORE 10 INTONACO: the paint for modern exterior walls<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Another product that VALPAINT proposes for exterior coating is METEORE 10 INTONACO<\/strong><\/a>: a breathable paint for exteriors and interiors that allows for obtaining clean, uncluttered surfaces<\/strong> for defining sleek and modern projects.<\/p>\n

\"06_2BlogMarzo_rivestimento_per_esterno_e_per_interno\"<\/p>\n

METEORE 10 INTONACO<\/a> <\/strong>is a natural textured water-based coating that reproduces the effect of plaster.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The product’s fundamental property, namely its naturalness, allows for obtaining a decorative paint for exteriors<\/strong> boasting exceptional workability that, together with its chromatic solutions, helps to create contemporary-style surfaces.<\/p>\n

VALPAINT proposes METEORE 10 INTONACO<\/a> in four versions, each expressing different aesthetic features to satisfy different design ideas:<\/p>\n

• Polished-Plaster Effect<\/strong>: fully conveys the product’s naturalness with uniform surfaces characterised by a plaster-like texture in the various nuances available.
• Polished Plaster Effect with Scales<\/strong>: the resulting aesthetic effect is a uniform surface featuring small fragments of light that enhance the nuances used, thanks to the addition of a natural additive (mica chips).
• Render-Set Plaster Effect<\/strong>: a decorative surface created with a technique that allows for leaving more material on the decorated support in order to enhance its textured quality and create interesting light-and-shade effects.
• Brushed Plaster Effect<\/strong>: unlike the previous solutions, which involve the use of a trowel, this version relies on a brush which becomes the decisive element of the finish. The surface appears uniform with a tactile quality that allows for appreciating the product’s naturalness.<\/p>\n
