Grand Interiors

Finishing is the stage of a building project where a shell becomes somewhere to live or work, and Grand Interiors has made it the centre of its business since 1998. From its base on Triq Pawlu Grech in Iklin, a village in central Malta, the company provides the professional services needed to complete a home, office or commercial outlet, from plastering and tiling to waterproofing and decorative coatings.

It is listed in our directories of painters in Malta and builders in Malta. Turnkey services and project management have always been its strength, and it aims to combine top quality workmanship, value for money and respect for timelines. In more than twenty years it has never missed a deadline.

Finishing and conversion services

The service list is broad: waterproofing, plastering and fuq il-fil rendering, alterations and minor civil works, gypsum works, blinds, parquet flooring and skirting, decorative coatings, tile and marble laying, complete finishing solutions and mechanical and electrical installation. Fuq il-fil rendering is a traditional Maltese plastering finish that gives walls a straight, plumb surface, and it is a common request in stone buildings.

Whether the job is refurbishing an older property or finishing new premises to a high standard, the aim is the same: deliver on time. Maltese stone needs specialised expertise, and the portfolio includes penthouse finishing, a semi-detached villa and a townhouse conversion. Projects span hospitality, residential, commercial and corporate sectors, so a small flat and a larger site are both within reach. UK buyers weighing up a renovation project can find the wider context in our Malta relocation guide and Malta tax guide for UK nationals.

Waterproofing and Maltese buildings

Waterproofing deserves particular attention on an island of flat roofs and open terraces. A liquid waterproofing membrane is a thin, water-tight layer laid over a surface to fill and seal grout lines, voids, seams and damage. On a flat terrace, for instance, it can go above the structural slab and then be covered by the finished tiles. The photographs of dark and white membrane-coated terraces and roof edges show how it looks once applied.

That matters because rain in winter and strong sun in summer, as set out in our Malta weather guide, put a lot of stress on roofs. Townhouses in historic quarters such as those described in our Valletta guide and the Three Cities often have terraces and stone structures that need careful sealing.

Decorative coatings and the online shop

Grand Interiors offers a range of decorative finishes. Micro-cement, from NanoStuccho Design, is a smooth, seamless coating used on floors, walls and stairs, and a do-it-yourself range is available. The MAGMA decorative paints include silver, gold and pearl finishes. The website's online shop and online paint shop carry decorative coatings, interior and exterior paints, primers, anti-mould products, plaster, tools, light fittings, bulbs, silicones and waterproofing.

Example prices show the range: a micro-cement product costs €269.00, a certified anti-mould interior paint €8.50, a brilliant white interior paint €7.90 and an extra large waterproofing product €83.95. The paint shop lets you pick a surface, then a colour family and shade, and a paint calculator helps estimate quantities. The shop also lists power tools, brushes and rollers for the keen decorator, including those who are fitting out a holiday flat found through where to stay in Malta.
