Floors
Microcement floor
Microcement is a mineral finish applied in thin layers and set with a trowel. The surface keeps a light movement, so the floor looks less flat than a poured floor and comes closer to natural stone.
Overview
A mineral floor finish with a fine, living texture
Microcement is built up in two to three thin layers on a reinforced substrate. Each layer is trowelled and sanded, after which a mineral or polymer sealant closes the surface.
The texture is created during trowelling. That makes the material less anonymous than a completely even floor: there is movement in the surface, in the same tone. How much movement remains visible is decided in advance on a sample.
Because the layers are so thin, microcement suits renovations in which the floor build-up must not increase, for example with existing door heights or an existing first stair.
- Very low build-up height
- A living texture in a single tone
- Seamless across large surfaces
- Can also be applied to stairs and thresholds
- Suitable for renovation without raising the floor build-up
