What Artes does

Artes S.r.l. is an Italian building remediation specialist founded in 1981 and headquartered in Scanzorosciate, in the province of Bergamo (Lombardy). The company diagnoses and treats moisture, water infiltration, condensation, radon gas, and structural-degradation problems in residential, commercial, industrial, and historic buildings, operating primarily across the Lombardy provinces of Bergamo, Milan, Brescia, Lecco, and Cremona with a 11-50 employee team.

The company's core offering is built around eight proprietary solution systems: a chemical hydrophobic barrier for rising damp; the Redil F/P/CF/M family of thermal insulation and anti-condensation panels for above- and below-ground walls and floors; hydro-reactive polyurethane and methacrylate resins (Polibar/Poligel) for active water infiltration without excavation; the Vasca Bianca structural waterproofing system for reinforced concrete; pre-activated sodium bentonite panels for new-construction foundations; radon capture and depressurization; radon-barrier membranes; and osmotic waterproof plasters. These systems are underpinned by natural hydraulic lime-based formulations and supported by an extensive in-house product catalog of branded plasters, mortars, additives, protective impregnants, and breathable paints. Diagnostics are performed on-site using instrumental thermo-hygrometric verification by Artes technicians, who also directly execute the interventions without subcontractors.

Artes operates a consultative, sales-led, project-based model: free on-site technical assessments generate quotes, with pricing determined per project (e.g., up to approximately €350/m² for reactive resin injection) and accompanied by long-duration written guarantees (up to 20 years on chemical barriers). It serves three primary segments — private homeowners, construction companies, and technical studios (architects and engineers) — through direct field sales and a referral network of technical professionals, with content marketing via its website as a top-of-funnel channel. The company is privately held by Managing Partner Giorgio Vitali with no disclosed external investors, parent, or M&A activity.

Core offering

Artes is a building remediation company that diagnoses and treats moisture, water infiltration, radon gas, and structural problems in residential, commercial, historic, and industrial buildings. It delivers proprietary solution systems (Redil insulation family, hydrophobic chemical barriers, hydro-reactive resins, Vasca Bianca structural waterproofing, bentonite panels, and radon capture systems) and applies specialized lime-based materials, performing the diagnosis, intervention, and surface restoration directly with in-house technical staff.

Product overview

Artes is a building remediation company offering a unified portfolio of specialized solution systems and related chemical/construction material products for diagnosing and treating moisture, water infiltration, radon gas, and structural problems in buildings. The core offering comprises eight named solution systems: (1) Barriera chimica idrofobizzante for rising damp, (2) Resine Idroreattive (Polibar/Poligel) for active water infiltration, (3) Vasca Bianca for structural waterproofing of new concrete underground structures, (4) Bentonite sodica for new construction waterproofing, (5) Redil family (Redil F/P/CF/M) for thermal insulation and anti-condensation in above-ground and underground spaces, (6) Captazione radon dal terreno for radon gas remediation, (7) Barriera Verde Antiradon for radon gas membrane barrier, and (8) Intonaci impermeabili/osmotici for waterproof plasters. These are complemented by an extensive line of branded construction materials including Calcilite macroporous thermal-insulating plaster, dehumidifying plasters, lime-based renders and mortars (BIOCEPRO, COCCIOPESTO, STACEPRO, RINZAFFO), mineral finishes (MARMORINO, ARRICO', CEPROSILICATO), protective coatings (ARES 807, Sinter, ml30, PROSIL 08), additives (ADIMALT, STL, COSTIP-MALT, PML33, RBE), cleaning products (DETERSAN, PULENTE ACIDO/BASICO), and breathable paints (Pittura KL, Fresco'500, Termo Paint, ANCORALL PRIME). The Redil F/CF/M systems and Calcilite are designed to work together as an integrated thermal insulation and condensation control system.

Products and services

• Barriera chimica idrofobizzante (Rising Damp Barrier) Chemical hydrophobic barrier injected at the base of walls to prevent rising damp by blocking capillary water absorption from the ground. Delivered as a project-based remediation service with a 20-year written guarantee.
• Redil F - Anti-condensation insulation for above-ground walls Anti-condensation thermal insulation system for above-ground walls using ecological, non-combustible, rot-proof panels combined with breathable natural hydraulic lime plasters. Designed for residential and commercial buildings with humidity and condensation problems.
• Redil P - Anti-condensation insulation for above-ground floors Anti-condensation breathable insulation system for above-ground floor surfaces that counteracts floor condensation humidity.
• Redil CF - Watertight insulation for underground walls Watertight anti-condensation insulation system for underground walls against earth, providing water, vapor, and radon gas barrier properties using ecological, non-combustible materials.
• Redil M - Watertight insulation for underground floors Watertight insulation system for underground floor environments that creates a protective shield from negative ground contact influences, making underground spaces hygienically livable.
• Resine Idroreattive (Polibar and Poligel) Hydro-reactive polyurethane resins (Polibar) and modified methacrylates (Poligel) injected at high pressure to create waterproof barriers in cracked or water-bearing structures. Works from inside without excavation or demolition, blocking water paths by working backwards from infiltration endpoints.
• Vasca Bianca - Structural Waterproofing System Structural waterproofing system for reinforced concrete underground structures using waterproof concrete, flexible metal joints, waterstops, injection tubes, and hydro-expansive tapes. Covers plate-to-plate, plate-to-wall, and wall-to-wall joints for new construction.
• Bentonite Sodica (Pre-activated Sodium Bentonite) Pre-activated natural sodium bentonite panels applied between structure and surrounding ground for foundation and underground structure waterproofing. Swells 15-20 times its volume when in contact with water, forming a permanent waterproof barrier.
• Captazione Radon dal Terreno (Radon Capture System) Design and installation of radon gas remediation systems through ground capture and depressurization of surrounding soil. Aimed at residential and public buildings exposed to radon infiltration from the ground.
• Barriera Verde Antiradon (Anti-Radon Green Barrier) Multi-layer poly-coupled waterproof membrane applied to floors or surfaces in direct contact with ground to reduce radon gas concentration by over 10 times in underground or above-ground rooms.
• Intonaci Impermeabili / Osmotici (Waterproof and Osmotic Plasters) Waterproof and osmotic premixed mortars with waterproofing additives for surfaces with diffuse infiltration sources or inaccessible external walls. Applied directly to structural walls to increase density and resistance to water passage.
• Calcilite (Climaterm) - Macroporous Thermal-insulating Plaster Macroporous thermal-insulating plaster based on natural hydraulic lime NHL 3.5z with pumice aggregates, used for rising damp remediation and condensation problems. Features high breathability, mechanical resistance, elasticity, and thermal insulation with fire resistance (REI 120).
• Intonaci Deumidificanti (Dehumidifying Plaster System)
• Artes Branded Construction Materials Line
• Structural Consolidation and Reinforcement Services
