Microcement
What Microcement Is
Microcement — also called microtopping — is a fine cement-based coating troweled over almost any sound substrate, from existing tile to screed to drywall, for a seamless modern surface with no grout lines. At roughly 2–3 mm it adds little height, yet it is hard-wearing and, sealed as a system, water-resistant enough for kitchens and bathrooms.
Applications

Seamless, grout-free floors that flow from room to room — warm underfoot and easy to live with.

Soft, contemporary walls that pair with the floor for one continuous surface.

Our Process
Consultation & sample
We visit the space, agree the colour and texture, and make a hand-applied sample in your light.
Substrate preparation
The existing surface is made sound and keyed — microcement bonds over tile, screed and drywall.
Layered application
Fine coats are troweled on by hand, building the seamless surface a few millimetres thick.
Seal & protect
The surface is sealed as a system for water resistance and everyday wear.
Installing in South Florida
Microcement suits South Florida living — sealed, it stands up to humidity and daily wear. Our team preps the substrate and schedules curing around the local climate so the surface sets hard and even.
