Polyurethane — elastic, UV-stable, kind to your feet.
Where epoxy is hard and glassy, polyurethane (PU) is slightly elastic — and that single difference unlocks a long list of advantages. PU is more comfortable to walk on, more forgiving of thermal shock, more UV-stable (it won't yellow in sunlight) and more resistant to scratching.
That's why we specify PU for indoor-outdoor villa floors, restaurant kitchens, gym studios, and any terrace or pool surround that has to look as good in August as it did in March.

Why PU matters on the Costa del Sol.
Coastal Spain throws two specific challenges at floor finishes: strong UV and frequent thermal swings between cool nights and 35°C afternoons. Pure epoxy can yellow under sustained UV and crack under thermal shock. PU was developed precisely for these conditions — it flexes with temperature and shrugs off sunlight.
That's why we specify PU systems for indoor-outdoor villa floors, for restaurant kitchens and bar floors, for gym studios where falling weights are a daily event, and for any terrace, pool surround or balcony where the floor has to look as good in August as it did in March.
Systems we install.
- PU-cement (polyurethane-modified cement) — heavy-duty, thermal-shock-proof. The industry standard for commercial kitchens and food processing.
- Decorative PU floors — coloured, low-gloss systems for retail, offices, residential.
- Sports PU — slightly cushioned floors for gyms, studios and physiotherapy rooms.
- Exterior PU — UV-stable systems for terraces, pool surrounds and balconies.
- Anti-slip PU — R11/R12 textured surfaces for wet areas.
PU vs epoxy — how we help you choose.
In short: epoxy is harder, glossier and cheaper per m²; PU is more elastic, more UV-stable and more comfortable underfoot. For residential indoor floors, epoxy is often fine. For terraces, kitchens, wet areas, hospitality back-of-house and any commercial space with thermal shock, PU is usually the right call.
We don't push one system over another. On every site visit we walk you through the trade-offs and recommend the system that genuinely suits the space — even when that means a smaller invoice for us.
Where we install polyurethane floors on the Costa del Sol.
PU is the floor we specify most often for terraces, pool surrounds and commercial kitchens in Marbella, Puerto Banús, Sotogrande, Estepona, Benahavís and Málaga. Designer-pour PU floors are particularly popular in Marbella villas where exterior UV exposure rules out epoxy.
Poured designer floors. A finish almost nobody else on the coast offers.
Our Designer Floor is a hand-applied, pigmented polyurethane surface, poured in jointless single sheets, colour-matched to your project. It's a finish you would expect in a Milan showroom or a Copenhagen design studio. There are perhaps three teams on the entire Costa del Sol capable of delivering it. We are one of them.
- Bespoke colour — pigmented to the exact RAL or NCS reference of your scheme.
- Continuous, jointless sheets — up to 100 m² in a single pour.
- Ultra-smooth, satin or deep-matte finish. Underfloor-heating compatible.
- Installed by one specialist team trained on German and Dutch resin systems.
