Why Mapei Elastocolor is the Smarter Choice for Building Protection

When it comes to protecting buildings, waterproofing and breathability are two features that can make or break the long-term performance of a coating. That’s where Mapei Elastocolor, supplied by Clever Shield, truly stands out.

Whether you’re a housing association, an architect, a project manager, or a DIY renovator, Elastocolor delivers the perfect balance of durability, design flexibility, and sustainability.

✅ Waterproof AND Breathable

Unlike standard coatings that trap moisture, Elastocolor creates a waterproof shield against rain while allowing trapped vapour to escape. That means your walls stay dry, strong, and damage-free — no peeling, no bubbling, no hidden damp.

✅ Crack-Bridging Performance

Buildings move. Tiny cracks appear. Elastocolor is engineered with elastic, crack-bridging technology, so it flexes with your façade instead of failing. This ensures long-term protection, even on concrete and masonry exposed to stress or micro-movement.

✅ Vibrant, Long-Lasting Colours

Available in 25 standard popular colours or choose any RAL colour. Your building deserves more than just protection — it deserves to look good. Elastocolor is available in a wide range of UV-resistant colours, delivering bold or subtle finishes that resist fading and stay beautiful for years.

✅ Resistant to Mould, Algae & Fungi

Exterior walls are constantly exposed to the elements. Elastocolor is formulated to resist mould, algae, and fungi, helping façades stay clean, hygienic, and low-maintenance.

✅ Proven Durability

From freeze–thaw cycles to de-icing salts, pollution, and ageing, Elastocolor is tested to endure the toughest conditions. It’s certified under EN 1504-9 and EN 1504-2 for concrete protection — so you know it’s not just marketing, it’s proven performance.

✅ Sustainable and CO₂ Neutral

Clever Shield is proud to supply Elastocolor Pittura Zero, a product with fully offset CO₂ emissions and backed by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). That means choosing Elastocolor helps protect both your building and the planet.
