The metal mold has replaced the traditional construction method, aiming to create better surfaces, preserve the original composition of the concrete (without the loss of essential components that are lost from the joints of wooden molds), and provide greater precision in construction (less deviation from the design).
Stone masonry has become an essential part of constructions, whether as infill walls or as cladding for a facade. The goal is to maintain the old technique/image, using materials from the excavation itself (more from the surrounding area) or stones from other quarries throughout Greece, so that it blends with the existing masonry without appearing foreign.
Plaster, polished cement screed, and cement screed-type floors are increasingly being constructed using traditional materials and techniques, chemical materials, or even from the same concrete used for filling floors or underfloor heating, altering its composition according to the desired color.
Plasters and paved floors are popular choices for both outdoor and indoor spaces, offering durability and aesthetics. Plasters, typically made from mixtures of cement, sand, and water, are used for wall coverings and provide protection against weather conditions. On the other hand, paved floors, consisting of stones or ceramic tiles, create durable surfaces with various designs and colors, ideal for gardens, yards, and walkways. Both options combine functionality and aesthetics, adding value to any space.
Polished cement screed is created using both chemical materials and traditional methods. It is used in interior spaces such as bathrooms, kitchen countertops, concrete living rooms or tables, in aprons or thresholds, and in fireplaces.
Stone stairs are essential for access to homes and estates on islands due to the peculiarities of the terrain. They are constructed from stone using traditional methods and do not detract from the overall appearance of the location. A wrong technique can ruin the aesthetics of the residence and its surroundings.
Roof insulation, depending on the location of the building, can be done in four different ways:
