What is microcement?

Microcement is a cement finish, composed of cement, water-based resins, and pigments which should be treated as a decorative finish, it is not a structural component.

Why is it so useful?

Microcement can be used on hard surfaces having exceptional adhesion. It can be used as a construction or decorative material and is available in a range of finishes and thicknesses.  

Transform your space with this cutting-edge finish. With an elegant and clean look thanks to its joint-free and minimalist appearance, microcement can help you reimagine any space and will give your commercial and residential property a unique look and feel. Furthermore, microcement is hardwearing and easy to clean.

Where can microcement be applied?

Easily applied to almost any surface, your imagination is the only thing that can limit you. 

Regardless of space, project, whether you are working on existing surfaces or building something new from natural materials, microcement could be the perfect finish for you.

Microcement really can cover almost any surface, no matter what shape or size, and furthermore, is formulated to make it easy to use. Examples include wet rooms, kitchens, stairs, bathrooms whether on floors, walls, or furniture.

Microcement Walls 

As we look to update our homes and offices, using microcement as a signature wall, multiple large surfaces, or for the entire house, really can redefine your space. With a clean and seamless look, microcement walls can make any space look elegant and modern. 

Microcement Floors

Microcement flooring could be exactly what you need, both hardwearing and amazingly simple to clean, it is perfect for use in an area with high foot traffic while also providing a stunning seamless look. 

Bathrooms, Baths, Showers, and Wet Rooms and Pools

Microcement is the ideal material with which to redesign your bathroom as it is both easy to maintain and is resistant to moisture. Depending on your choice of finish, it can reflect ample natural light to create a bright and stimulating bathroom. 

Microcement is quickly becoming the obvious choice for areas such as swimming pools, baths and showers, thanks to the extremely durable, non-slip, and waterproof nature of microcement.

Kitchen

The kitchen is often the social centre of the home and frequently a very versatile area of the home. Whether cooking for the family or entertaining guests, it makes sense to use a finish just as versatile.

Capable of sustaining continuous use and cleaning while still looking sleek and modern, microcement should be a consideration for your kitchen. 

Stairs 

Few areas have as much traffic as stairways, it is important that whatever material you use, it can stand up to the harsh punishment. Microcement is the ideal choice, being both resilient to impact and capable of daily use whilst minimising signs of wear and tear.

Although stairs can be more complex in shape than a wall, microcement can cover almost any surface, no matter what shape or size. 

Outdoor Spaces 

Microcement is also the go-to material for outdoor spaces due to its excellent resistance to UV rays. It stands up to year-round weather conditions due to its water resistance and superior performance. 

Used to cover existing substrates and very easy to maintain, microcement is a creative way to update your outdoor space.

Workshops

If you have a busy workshop microcement is ideal to use as it is extremely hard wearing. Keeping your workshop clean could not be simpler with microcement.

Enhancing microcement

Colours

We offer an extensive spectrum of colours by Giorgio Graesan to choose from which means you can achieve a seamless match with your existing scheme, or choose a brand new one, maybe even combining a variety of shades to create something truly unique. From neutrals to vibrant colours and much more, we have a full range available online. 

Protective finishes

Our range of protective finishes are designed to help protect the surface and make it more resistant to water and day-to-day stains, marks and scratches.

Protection for microcement will help to maintain both its quality and look. We always recommend its use as protection allows the microcement to become more water repellent and easier to clean.

Choose from our finishes below which include high gloss and matt:

VL3D Liquid Glass is a high gloss protective finish, suitable for floors and walls, resistant to scratches with low viscosity and a high surface hardness and clarity.

Protekto EcoSilan is a ready-to-use, colourless protective finish, which when applied, penetrates deep into the material's surface making it hydrophobic while retaining its breathability.  This water-resistant coating is suitable for use on walls and floors.

Velatura Siloxane is a protective and decorative water-repellent finish for both interior and exterior surfaces that allows the walls to breathe. Applied to the exterior and interior, it allows you to obtain a pleasant, antiqued effect of light-dark tones which embellishes and protects the facade.

Microcement FAQs

Is it waterproof?

Microcement is suitable for use in wet rooms, baths and spas for direct water exposure with the appropriate sealant. 

Can it be used on floors?

Microcement is a highly durable material that may be used on floors. It comes in a wide variety of colours and has a seamless appearance.

Can it be used around fireplaces?

Microcement is flame and fire-resistant, but not fireproof, making it perfect for fire surrounds but using it as a base of back of a fireplace will result in discolouration and damage to the surface.

How easy is it to clean?

For ordinary day-to-day blemishes, wipe with a warm moist cloth then pat dry.

What if we want to re-design in future?

If you wish to modify the feature's design, you can start again with a different finish. If you wanted to restore the wall to its original condition, you could sand it then refinish it.
