What Is Microcement?

Microcement is a polymer-modified cementitious coating applied in thin layers — typically 2–3mm — directly over existing surfaces. Unlike traditional cement, it bonds to almost any substrate: concrete, tiles, timber, plasterboard, and more.

The result is a seamless, continuous surface with no grout lines, no joints, and no visual interruptions.

Why Architects and Designers Choose Microcement

The design appeal is straightforward: microcement creates surfaces that feel intentional. A bathroom floor that flows into the shower without a threshold. A kitchen benchtop that continues up the splashback in one unbroken plane. An outdoor entertaining area that connects visually to the interior floor.

These are outcomes that no tiled surface can replicate.

Is Microcement Durable?

A properly installed and sealed microcement surface is highly durable. The sealer is the critical component — it creates a non-porous barrier that resists water, staining, and abrasion. With correct maintenance, a microcement floor will last 15–25 years.

What Does Microcement Cost?

Microcement is a premium finish, and it is priced per project rather than off a price list. What your job costs depends on the condition of the substrate underneath, the complexity of the installation, and the finish you specify — which is why a real number needs photos and measurements rather than a rate from a website.

The investment is justified by the outcome: a surface that cannot be replicated by any other material at any price.
