Microcement

Concrete, without the weight.

Microcement overview
01 Overview

Ultra-thin hand-trowelled concrete

A polymer-modified, hand-trowelled cement overlay for seamless, minimalist surfaces — the character of concrete at a fraction of the thickness.

Ultra-thin application enables overlays on existing substrates with no major demolition or floor build-up, and a bespoke, artisanal texture.

Specification

02 Why Microcement

Designed around performance.

Ultra-thin & strong
01

Ultra-thin & strong

2–3 mm of material with roughly 30 MPa compressive strength — comparable to structural concrete when cured.

Crack-resistant & waterproof
02

Crack-resistant & waterproof

A polymer-modified system that moves with the substrate to reduce microcracking, and a fully sealed, groutless surface.

Bespoke, hand-trowelled aesthetic
03

Bespoke, hand-trowelled aesthetic

A wide tonal range with cloudy, layered effects — each surface unique, in a fraction of the time of polished concrete.
