Fincas · Old-Town Houses · Large Kitchens · Stone
Benissa's mix of fincas, tall town houses and coastal villas means no two microcement jobs begin from the same place. We start by identifying the building, then decide which finish makes sense and where it should stop.
A finca in the countryside has big rooms, thick stone walls and often a kitchen designed for a family that cooked together. A tall town house has narrow floors joined by stairs. A coastal villa is newer, lighter and built on a modern slab.
Microcement behaves differently in each. In the finca, it can modernise a large kitchen floor while the stone stays as a feature. In the town house, it can lighten a dark staircase. In the villa, it creates seamless bathrooms facing the sea.
We therefore avoid a standard package. Before quoting, we establish what the walls and floors are made of, what moisture they carry and how the family lives in them. Then we advise which parts suit a coating and which parts are better left alone.
Fincas
A finca kitchen can be vast, and its floor may be old terracotta, ceramic or worn cement. Microcement can bring it together in a single tone, particularly where the owner wants a lighter, more contemporary look beside rustic stone and timber beams.
We usually leave stone walls as they are, because stone is part of the finca's appeal and does not take a thin coating well. The finish suits smooth rendered walls, worktop surrounds and floors, creating a deliberate contrast with the old structure.
Large floors need movement planning, as in any big space. Farmhouse slabs may be uneven, patched or unreinforced, so we measure levels, tap for hollows and tell you whether a levelling layer is needed before the coating is considered.
Town houses
Old-town houses stack rooms vertically, with stairs doing a lot of work. Dark, worn steps can be revived with a coating, giving a clean line from floor to floor. We check each tread for loose pieces and rebuild damaged edges before starting.
Narrow doorways and winding turns make moving materials a puzzle. Carrying tubs of product up several floors takes time, and we plan for it, protecting banisters, door frames and existing floors, which in many old houses are worth preserving.
Bathrooms in these houses are often squeezed into former cupboards or added rooms. Microcement helps them feel larger, but waterproofing has to be done thoroughly because water damage on lower floors in a tall house would be costly and distressing.
Coastal homes
Coastal villas near Benissa are newer and tend to have simple, regular surfaces. These are the easier jobs: well-prepared slabs, plasterboard or rendered walls and generous bathrooms, where a single tone across walls, floor and shower delivers a refined result.
Sea air affects metalwork and exterior surfaces more than interiors, but humidity still builds in bathrooms. We discuss ventilation, and we put a robust waterproofing layer under the shower, with details at corners and drains described in the quotation.
Owners often combine this work with other updates such as new doors, windows or a kitchen. We coordinate the trades, so the microcement team arrives after dust-heavy work is done and before delicate fittings go in.
How it works
We visit, identify the construction and test floors and walls. Because property types vary so much, the written quotation explains what each room needs underneath before the finish, and where we suggest leaving original materials untouched.
The programme follows the building: heavy preparation first, then waterproofing, coating and sealing. We keep you posted by photo and call if you are abroad, and hand over with clear care instructions.
Questions
Yes, commonly on the floor and smooth walls. We check slab levels, hollows and moisture first. Stone walls are usually better left exposed, and we explain the contrast between old and new finishes at the survey.
Often, once loose treads and edges are repaired. We choose a textured, grippy finish and a suitable sealer, and we discuss the look and safety with you using sample steps.
Very well in bathrooms and living areas, provided waterproofing and ventilation are right. We recommend careful sealing and tell you honestly about exposed outdoor areas, which may call for tile or stone.
Yes. A single house may need microcement in the bathrooms, retained stone in the lounge and new tile outside. We plan each area separately and coordinate the trades through one manager.
