Microcement UK

Microcement is wonderfully versatile; you can opt for this material for floors, walls, doors, furniture, bathrooms and worktops, stairs and many more. For each of its uses, it brings a set of advantages that places it above other possible options. Even though it’s been around for a long time, its popularity has definitely been rising in recent years, for both its aesthetic and practical benefits. Outdoors and indoors, in hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, it brings a plus of style, simplicity, safety and many more. Debris and heavy renovation can be avoided, as micro concrete can adhere to any type of material. Thanks to the thin layer necessary, the flooring won’t be raised, and, on top of that, it is done in one whole piece: no joints. Once your microcement floor, wall or anything else is in place, you know it will last, thanks to its thermal resistance, as well as resistance to heavy traffic, abrasion and any type of cleaning product.

When it comes to its application, while easier than other possible materials, it should always be done by a trained professional, like the ones we have at Microcement Concrete. When it comes to microcement floors, the first step is ensuring the material to which it will adhere is in perfect condition. A layer of primer is applied, followed by two coats of microcement base, two coats of finishing (pigmented) microcement, and last but not least, the incredibly important microcement floor protection: two coats of presealer, and two coats of top sealer. The possibilities of microcement colours and finishes are incredibly vast, and depend on the design and lever of slipperiness that you are looking for: both of these elements depend on the chosen finishing microcement, as well as protection coats. Because this process is best done by hand trowel, it requires much time, effort and precision; it is not something you get done overnight, but it is definitely something our professionals have mastered.

Microcement colours are, just like microcement’s uses, varied and ready to suit any preferences and the aesthetic of the space it is applied in. For a microcement wall, you can opt to keep it industrial looking, with a grey tone and rough texture, go rustic, modern, metallic or more classic; colour possibilities are endless, but it’s their unique combination with all the different finishes and textures that truly conveys the desired final look: smooth or uneven, glossy, satin or matt, high contrast or low contrast colours, or even a desired painting or pattern. Because it is applied by hand, no matter what your option is, it will mean a unique piece of art: no two walls are the same; in fact, we can go as far as saying that no two square meters of any surface made with this material are ever the exact same.

Microcement stairs can not be forgotten either. When it comes to colours and finish, just like the floors, they are incredibly important when it comes to the design of a space, whether it be domestic or industrial. This material can be used on any type of floor: solid risers, open risers, with stringer or without, with two, one or no walls. Industrial, modern, homey, business, you name it, we can get it done.

Bathrooms are one of the most fashionable places to use microcement in nowadays. Its smooth application ensures easier cleaning, while its non-slippery properties make it safe. It is completely waterproof, which means apart from walls and floors, it can also be used in shower cabins or other finishing touches. Similarly in terms of cleanliness, appearance and resistance, a kitchen worktop is another wonderful option for this versatile material; truthfully, no furniture is off limits. Or, moreso, a microcement front!

Last but not least, a microcement door will let people see the beautiful design and uniqueness of the building they are entering, even before having the chance to set foot inside. It is mostly recommended for sliding doors, and it can be the final piece of the puzzle, fitting perfectly the walls and floors of the same material. As previously mentioned, the finishes of microcement are varied, and alongside the different textures and colours, they are one of the main elements that give this material its uniqueness and incredible aesthetic value, whether it be matt, super-matt, satin, glossy or non-slip matt.

Because of the extensive manual labour necessary for application, there are multiple elements that need to be taken into consideration when a price is settled for microcement, such as the total area of application, the type of area, the existing substrate and the necessary preparation, as well as the intricacy of the work. For that reason, it should come as no surprise that the cost of microcement might be higher per square meter for smaller areas, and go down as the area gets larger. However, because we have professionals all over UK, our prices are incredibly competitive.

Microcement as a material is unique and its rise in popularity is definitely well deserved. However, it is the people behind the installation and manual work that ensure the final finish of your walls, floors, furniture and many more are up to par and meet your architectural standards.
