Best suited to
Commercial interiors requiring a seamless, contemporary aesthetic.
Microcement / Floors
Microcement
floors.
A refined hand-applied floor finish built up in thin, carefully controlled layers over a suitable substrate.
The right system
A seamless look needs a disciplined substrate.
Microcement flooring is applied in thin layers over a prepared base to create a continuous, hand-finished surface. The appearance can cross spaces visually, but substrate movement and existing joints still need careful treatment.
Specify slip considerations, entrance matting, furniture protection, cleaning method and sealer renewal. Wet areas need a complete compatible build-up rather than a decorative coat alone.
Primary outcome
A continuous low-build finish with considered colour and texture.
Designed for
light-to-medium duty interior applications.
Technical overview
What microcement floors means in practice.
Microcement floors are low-build, hand-finished surfaces for stable interior substrates. Because the finish follows the base, preparation and movement control are critical to the final appearance and service life.
Choose it when
moderate-duty commercial spaces where seamless appearance is valued over heavy-industrial performance.
Check before specifying
deflection, cracks, substrate joints, wet slip needs, furniture feet, entrance matting and approved cleaners.
Finish expectations
Microcement is hand applied, so subtle trowel movement is intrinsic. Agree colour, texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
Cleaning + maintenance
Use approved pH-neutral products, felt protection beneath movable furniture and rapid spill removal. Avoid abrasive pads or aggressive descalers unless approved.
A polished cementitious screed provides greater mass and robustness for busier commercial floors.
Illustrative system image; agree the actual finish by sample.Specification framework
Decisions to fix before tender.
01Substrate
Confirm soundness, movement, moisture and compatibility with the complete layered system.
02Detailing
Resolve corners, joints, penetrations, thresholds and interfaces before application.
03Finish
Approve colour, trowel texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
04Care
Define traffic, wet use, cleaning products, furniture protection and sealer maintenance.
Delivery method
Surveyed, sampled and delivered in-house.
Site survey + substrate review
Condition, flatness, contamination, repairs, access and programme constraints are recorded.
Finish specification + sample
Appearance, performance and realistic slab variation are agreed before full installation.
Controlled installation
Our specialist team manages preparation, finishing, protection and handover.
Specification questions
Questions to settle early.
Will a microcement floor hide cracks?
Not reliably. Active movement and cracks need assessment and treatment; some movement joints may need to remain expressed through the finish.
Is microcement waterproof?
A decorative coat alone is not waterproofing. Wet areas require a compatible system and substrate detail designed for that use.
Will every area look identical?
No. Hand application creates subtle variation; sample approval should establish the intended range of movement and tone.
