ProPERLA Coatings: Historical Information
Countrywide no longer offers ProPERLA coating services. We do not currently quote for, sell, supply or apply ProPERLA coatings. This page is retained as historical information for visitors following older Countrywide links, and as a record of a product range the business previously used.
What ProPERLA is
ProPERLA is a third-party branded range of exterior coatings and paints for buildings, described by its manufacturer as super hydrophobic — designed to repel water from the surface to which it is applied. It is not a Countrywide product, and Countrywide has no involvement in its manufacture.
Why Countrywide previously used it
The reasoning set out on this page while the service was offered was as follows. Moisture in building materials is a key driver of energy loss, because wet materials transfer heat much more quickly than dry materials. Testing referenced at the time indicated that a damp content of 5% in a plain brick wall could lower that wall's insulation performance by up to 50%. Keeping external walls and roofs dry was therefore presented as a way of helping a property hold on to more of the heat it generates.
On that basis, ProPERLA coatings were offered as a treatment intended to keep weather out of the building fabric while helping to keep warmth inside.
Typical historical uses
Where Countrywide applied ProPERLA, it was used on exterior surfaces — principally external walls and masonry, together with related exterior coating applications. It was a surface treatment applied to the outside of a building rather than an insulation material installed within the structure.
Several ProPERLA products were listed separately on this website at the time, including a facade coating, a masonry creme, a roof coating and a water-repellent treatment. Those individual product pages have since been retired, and older links to them now lead to this page.
Why this page remains online
Countrywide published a number of pages, articles and marketing materials referring to ProPERLA while the service was active. Some of those links remain in circulation — in search results, on third-party websites, and in older printed and digital material. This page is kept online so that anyone following one of those links arrives at an accurate explanation rather than an error page or an offer that no longer stands.
Current status
To be unambiguous: Countrywide does not sell, quote for, supply or apply ProPERLA coatings. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim that Countrywide is a current ProPERLA installer, applicator or accredited partner, and no current warranty, endorsement or supplier relationship is implied.
What Countrywide offers today
Countrywide Roofing & Insulation specialises in spray foam insulation removal, covering both open cell and closed cell foam, and in roof replacement. We also carry out pitched roofing, flat roofing, roof repairs, chimney repair, fascias, soffits and guttering, and loft insulation and loft insulation removal, working across England and Wales.
These are different services to exterior wall coating, and Countrywide does not offer a direct replacement for it. Anyone specifically seeking an exterior wall coating or a ProPERLA applicator will need to approach a specialist in that field.
