for our holiday home in Sardinia, I want to create a seamless floor. Temperatures there vary widely between about 7 and 40°C (45 and 104°F), so it should not be too expensive. In Germany, I’m familiar with microcement, but for this project, it’s just too perfect and also too costly.
The area is around 80 m² (860 sq ft), spread over four rooms. The floor doesn’t need to be ultra-smooth and can have a slightly rough texture – a subtle industrial look would be ideal. The color is secondary; light gray, beige, or dark gray would all work.
The substrate is a clean, crack-free concrete slab with 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 inch) tiles installed on top. They are neither glossy nor strongly matte, the grout lines are even, and overall everything is very well done. So it should be a solid base.
We have extensive craftsmanship experience, so a do-it-yourself approach would also be possible. I’m looking forward to tips on suitable materials for creating a seamless floor that isn’t perfectly smooth, and methods that perform reliably in a Mediterranean climate. Experiences with rough surfaces in an industrial look would also be very helpful.
Best regards,
Christine
