Paper is an organic material widely used in cultural heritage and mainly composed of cellulose mixed with lignin, hemicellulose and small amounts of additives. This paper deals with siloxane coatings on pure cellulose paper, applied by sol–gel dipping in sols prepared with different siloxane precursors (tetraethoxysilane, methyl triethoxysilane, dimethyl diethoxysilane, trimethyl monoethoxysilane). The coated samples were characterized using various techniques (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy FT-IR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR and Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy SEM–EDS), measuring their mechanical properties, flame resistance and contact angles, and a colorimetric test. The coated samples’ behavior was more hydrophobic the higher the methyl number of siloxane precursor, regardless of the coating’s thickness. Increasing the thickness improved the mechanical and thermal properties. The thickest coatings were obtained using a double coating process and a basic catalyst for the hydrolysis step, but this latter condition facilitated the formation of surface
