Interior design Mallorca and Andalusia

Work that does not affect structure, facade, volume or use is processed as minor works through a prior notification or simplified licence, while any intervention on structural elements or on the exterior requires a major works licence with a technical project.

A ducted system distributes air from a single unit through a false ceiling and is more discreet and more even, while individual split units cost less, need no false ceiling and allow only the rooms in use to be conditioned.

In a Mediterranean climate the priority is keeping solar radiation out rather than insulating against cold, so external shading of the openings delivers more per euro invested than any other measure.

Interior design fees are calculated in three ways: as a percentage of the works between six and twelve per cent, per square metre between twenty and sixty euros, or as a fixed fee for a defined project.

Marés is a highly porous calcareous sandstone, so maintaining it means controlling the entry of water and salt with a breathable water repellent, renewed every five to ten years depending on exposure.

Microcement is applied in layers two to three millimetres thick over the existing substrate, and its durability depends entirely on the sealer, which must be renewed every three to five years in circulation areas and sooner in kitchens.
