Why people love it
Microcement gives the sought-after cement look as a thin, seamless, joint-free surface — no grout lines, a continuous flow across floors and walls, and a contemporary, understated feel. Because it’s only a few millimetres thick, it can often be applied over existing tiles or surfaces, avoiding messy hacking.
Where it works
It suits floors, feature walls, bathrooms and worktops. Properly sealed, it’s water-resistant and hard-wearing — but as with any cementitious finish, fine character variations are part of the look, and wet areas still rely on sound waterproofing beneath.
Application is everything
Microcement is specialist work: the surface prep, layering, and sealing all determine whether it looks flawless and lasts, or patchy and worn. It’s not a DIY coating — an experienced applicator makes the difference.
