Microcement is a composite coating made from cement, water-based resins and additives. Applied by hand in thin layers, it bonds to the prepared substrate to create a durable surface with the distinctive look of polished concrete.
With a finished thickness of just 2-3 mm, microcement is a versatile choice for both interior and exterior applications, including floors, walls, ceilings and worktops.
Its low thickness and seamless finish make it particularly useful for projects where you want the look of concrete without the weight or joins of solid cast pieces.

Seamless microcement walls create a clean, contemporary backdrop, allowing the materials, furnishings and details of the bathroom to stand out.
One material, from floors to walls and ceilings, creating a seamless look that brings the whole space together. The finished surface is smooth and easy to maintain.
Beyond floors and walls, microcement can be applied to bespoke features such as shelving, furniture and bar counters, bringing the same distinctive finish to different parts of a space, indoors and out.
Microcement is a versatile surface finish that takes the shape of the substrate beneath it, rather than correcting or changing it. Its applications extend well beyond flat walls and floors, making it suitable for more demanding areas and intricate details, such as steps and shower niches, where detail work is essential.
Our Microcement Application Process for Floors
Microcement is a seamless, highly durable decorative coating ideal for modern floors. Our expert multi-layered process ensures a robust, long-lasting, and aesthetically refined finish.
1. Surface Preparation
To ensure maximum adhesion and durability, we meticulously prepare the surface:
- The substrate is thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, grease, or loose materials.
- Cracks and small imperfections are repaired with suitable fillers.
- A specialized primer is applied based on the substrate type (concrete, tiles, or wood) to enhance bonding.
2. Mesh Reinforcement
- A fiberglass mesh is placed across the entire floor surface before applying the first base coat.
- This reinforcement helps prevent cracks and increases structural integrity.
3. First Base Coat Application
- The first base layer of microcement is troweled over the mesh, fully embedding it within the coating.
- Once dry, the surface is sanded to remove imperfections and ensure proper adhesion for the next layer.
4. Second Base Coat Application
- A second base layer is applied, adding further strength and uniformity to the floor.
- This layer is also sanded after drying for a smooth and even surface.
5. First Finishing Coat Application
- A fine microcement finishing coat is applied to define the final texture and aesthetics.
- Once dry, it is sanded to refine the surface.
6. Second Finishing Coat Application
- A final finishing layer is applied, ensuring a polished, seamless look.
- This layer is also sanded to perfection, achieving the desired smooth or slightly textured effect.
7. Sealing & Protection
- A high-performance sealer is applied to protect the microcement from stains, water, and wear.
- Available in matte, satin, or gloss finishes, the sealer enhances durability and aesthetics.
- The surface is left to fully cure, ensuring long-term strength and resistance.
Our detailed and professional process guarantees a seamless, durable, and visually stunning microcement floor.
