When it comes to modern interior design, flooring plays a major role in creating the right atmosphere. Homeowners, designers and commercial property owners are increasingly looking for surfaces that combine contemporary aesthetics with durability and easy maintenance. Microcement floors offer an excellent solution, delivering a seamless, sophisticated finish with a distinctive concrete-inspired appearance.
At Resin Crew, we provide professional microcement application for residential and commercial spaces, helping clients create modern surfaces that are both visually striking and practical.
What Are Microcement Floors?
Microcement is a thin, cement-based decorative coating that can be applied over a range of stable existing surfaces. Unlike traditional tiles, microcement creates a continuous finish without grout lines, helping produce a clean and minimalist appearance.
One of its biggest advantages is its versatility. Depending on the substrate and project requirements, microcement can be applied over surfaces such as concrete, tiles, timber, plasterboard, marble and terrazzo. This makes it particularly attractive for renovation projects where removing an existing surface may be unnecessary.
The result is a refined surface that can replicate the character of concrete, stone or marble while offering a wide range of design possibilities.
Why Choose Microcement Flooring?
1. Seamless, Contemporary Appearance
One of the defining features of microcement flooring is its seamless appearance. With no conventional grout joints, the floor has a continuous visual flow that can make spaces feel cleaner, larger and more sophisticated.
This minimalist aesthetic works particularly well with contemporary, industrial, luxury and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
2. Ideal for Renovations
Renovating a floor traditionally involves removing existing tiles or other materials before installing a new surface. Microcement can offer an alternative approach because it can be applied over suitable existing substrates.
This can help reduce demolition, disruption and unnecessary waste, subject to proper substrate assessment and preparation.
For renovation projects, the ability to transform an existing surface without completely replacing it can make microcement an attractive option.
3. A Wide Range of Finishes
Microcement doesn’t have to look the same in every project. Resin Crew offers three primary finish styles:
- Concrete finish – ideal for modern and industrial-inspired interiors.
- Stone finish – creates a more natural, textured appearance.
- Marble finish – adds a refined and luxurious visual effect.
There are also different colours, textures and levels of sheen available, allowing the finish to be tailored to the character of the space.
4. Suitable for Residential and Commercial Spaces
Microcement flooring is versatile enough for a wide variety of applications.
In residential properties, it can be used in living areas, kitchens, bathrooms and other spaces where a seamless contemporary look is desired.
For commercial environments, microcement can help create a strong visual identity in retail stores, hospitality venues, offices, reception areas and other customer-facing spaces.
Because the same design language can be extended across floors and walls, microcement can also help create a cohesive interior aesthetic.
5. Easy to Maintain
The absence of traditional grout lines is another practical benefit. Grout can become a collection point for dirt and can require more intensive cleaning over time.
A correctly installed and sealed microcement surface provides a smooth finish that is relatively straightforward to maintain with appropriate cleaning practices.
As with any flooring system, the longevity and performance of the finished surface depend on correct preparation, installation, sealing and ongoing maintenance.
Is Microcement Waterproof?
Microcement should not simply be considered waterproof because of the cement-based coating itself. Proper sealing is essential, particularly in areas exposed to moisture.
When the correct system and protective sealers are used, microcement can be suitable for moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. The substrate, preparation, application system and sealing specification should all be considered as part of the project.
This is one reason professional installation is important when selecting microcement for wet areas.
Microcement Floors vs Traditional Tiles
Microcement offers a very different aesthetic and installation approach compared with conventional tiled flooring.
Tiles provide individual pieces separated by grout joints, while microcement creates a continuous surface. Microcement can also provide greater design continuity because the finish can flow from one surface to another.
For renovations, its ability to be applied over suitable existing surfaces can also reduce the need for extensive demolition.
However, the right flooring system depends on the specific environment, substrate, expected traffic, moisture exposure and desired appearance. Microcement isn’t necessarily the best choice for every application, which is why a professional assessment is recommended.
How Is Microcement Applied?
Achieving a high-quality microcement floor requires more than simply spreading material across an existing surface.
The process generally involves:
1. Surface Assessment and Preparation
The existing substrate is assessed for stability, condition, moisture and other factors that could affect the finished system.
2. Preparation and Priming
The surface is prepared to provide a suitable foundation and promote proper adhesion.
3. Microcement Application
Multiple thin layers are applied using specialist techniques to build the desired texture and appearance.
4. Finishing
The surface is refined to achieve the selected finish, whether concrete, stone, marble-inspired or another customised appearance.
5. Protective Sealing
A suitable protective sealer is applied to help protect the finished surface and improve its performance.
The quality of the preparation and application is critical to achieving the desired result. Microcement is a specialist finish, so professional installation can make a significant difference to both appearance and long-term performance.
Where Can Microcement Be Used?
The versatility of microcement is one of its biggest attractions.
Depending on the system and substrate, applications can include:
- Living rooms
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Laundries
- Retail spaces
- Offices
- Cafés and hospitality venues
- Feature walls
- Commercial interiors
- Benchtops and other decorative surfaces
Using microcement across multiple surfaces can create a consistent, high-end appearance throughout an interior.
