Kala Residences: new build townhouses for sale in Fuengirola

Foundations and structure in reinforced concrete, built to the current Spanish building code. The outside walls are rendered in beige and white with decorative details to the architect’s design, and meet the code’s sound and heat insulation standards. Inside, the walls between rooms are plasterboard with mineral wool in the gap, which is what keeps sound from carrying.

Lacquered aluminium frames with a thermal break, an insulating strip through the frame that stops cold crossing it. The windows swing open or tilt in from the top, and have a setting that lets air in while they stay closed. Double glazing with an insulating air gap throughout. Bedrooms have blinds or shading.

Large-format porcelain tiles on the living floor and a hard-wearing wood-effect floor in the bedrooms, with a white moisture-resistant skirting throughout. Terraces are in non-slip porcelain, and the gardens are laid to natural grass. In the basement, porcelain in the multipurpose room and the hall and polished concrete in the garage and store. Suspended ceilings run through the whole home, moisture-resistant on the terraces. Roofs are flat and insulated, tiled where they can be walked on and finished in decorative stone where they cannot.

A reinforced entrance door with a security lock, white inside and finished to the architect’s design outside. Internal doors in matt white lacquer with chrome fittings and privacy locks on the bathrooms. Built-in wardrobes with white lacquered doors, lined in a textile-effect melamine, with a hanging rail and a shelf for cases.

Fully fitted, with wall and base units from Lube or similar and a worktop in sintered stone of the Dekton type, a dense manufactured stone that resists heat and scratches. Appliances of a high energy rating come included: an induction hob, an oven, a microwave, an extractor, a fridge, a washer-dryer and a dishwasher.

White vitrified porcelain, resin shower trays that sit almost flush with the floor, chrome single-lever taps, and a thermostatic control in the showers that holds the water at the temperature you set. Basins are set into a designed unit. Every terrace has an outside tap.

Hot water comes from an aerothermal system, which draws heat from the outside air rather than burning gas, and the home has photovoltaic panels that make part of its own electricity. Ducted air conditioning heats and cools the whole home, and the bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor have water-fed underfloor heating as well. A mechanical ventilation system changes the air and adjusts itself to the air quality inside.

A smart home system that detects water leaks in the bathrooms and the kitchen, detects smoke in the kitchen, monitors electricity and water use, and controls the air conditioning and underfloor heating from an app. Television, internet and telephone points in the living room, the kitchen and every bedroom, switches and sockets from Niessen Zenit or similar, and the wiring in the basement ready for an electric car charger.
