The company

A new company with old hands. Fountas Deco was founded to continue, under its own name, the work Anestis Fountas has been doing since 2010: drywall, ceilings and bespoke GRC in Greece and Cyprus.

Today
Fountas Deco: our own company, our own drawing office, the same crews. Based at 293 Vouliagmenis Avenue, Agios Dimitrios, Athens.

In 1965 the Fountas brothers founded Elliniki Gypsotechnia in Agios Dimitrios. Gypsum, cement, later GRC and neoclassical restoration: the ceilings of the Grande Bretagne and the King George, the Presidential Mansion, the Achilleion, churches, villas and, from the 2000s, the big hotels of Mykonos.

Anestis grew up in that workshop. Since 2010 he has led the drywall projects and the bespoke GRC work: perforated façades, curved room furniture, spas, pergolas, in the Cyclades, Attica and Cyprus.

Fountas Deco is the next step: our own company, our own drawing office with 3D, the same crews and the same material partners. Based at 293 Vouliagmenis Avenue, five minutes from the workshop where it all started.

Anestis Fountas

Founder and project lead. More than 20 years on site, from the first gypsum moulding to 400-square-metre GRC façades. He builds the 3D models himself, does the take-offs, and is on site when the first piece goes up.

If you send drawings, he is the one who opens them.

How we work

Drawing before material
Nothing is built without an approved ceiling plan, 3D model or sample. Changes happen on paper, not on the wall.
Materials by name
The quote states which board, which framing, which insulation. Knauf, Rigips or Siniat, not "plasterboard".
Measurement, not estimate
You pay for the square metres measured at handover, with the site engineer present.
One phone number
The same person from quote to handover. Every day 9:00–21:00.

Where we work

Attica
Our base and most of our projects. Residences, offices, shops, hotels.
Islands
Mykonos, the Cyclades and wherever a hotel renovates off-season. Crews that stay on the island.
Cyprus
Since 2010. Study from Athens, production and shipping, installation on site.
