What is Microcement?

A Modern Finish for Any Surface

Microcement is a versatile, extremely durable surface that offers a sleek, contemporary look without the need for tiles, grout lines or bulky materials. Made from a blend of cement, resins, polymers and aggregate, microcement is applied in thin layers directly onto existing surfaces—creating a seamless, hard-wearing finish that’s as stylish as it is practical. 

Whether you’re after a raw, industrial feel or something smoother and more polished, microcement offers endless possibilities. The finish is hand-applied in multiple layers, allowing for subtle textures or bold statement designs.

Microcement can be used across almost any surface, including:

  • Commercial interiors
  • Showrooms

Thanks to its flexible application and wide range of customisation options.

Why Choose Microcement?

Microcement has rapidly become one of the most sought-after finishes for modern interiors. Here’s why:

Seamless Aesthetic

No joints, no grout, just clean, continuous hygienic surfaces.

Ultra-Durable

Resistant to wear, scratches and moisture, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and wet zones.

Custom Finishes

Choose from a wide range of colours, textures and effects to suit your style.

Minimal Disruption

Applied directly over existing surfaces like tiles, plaster, or concrete, meaning faster installation with no heavy demolition.

Low Maintenance

How Is Microcement Installed?

The installation process requires precision and skill. At Nuera, we follow a proven multi-step method to ensure a flawless finish:

  • Surface Preparation – We check and prime the substrate for adhesion and apply primers.
  • Reinforcement – A layer of fibreglass-reinforced crack prevention mesh is installed on all surfaces.
  • Layering – Several layers of microcement are applied by hand, each allowed to cure before the next.
  • Sanding & Sealing – Once the desired texture is achieved, the surface is sanded and sealed with a protective coating for long-lasting durability.

Installation typically takes between 5 and 7 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Microcement vs. Polished Concrete

While microcement shares the industrial aesthetic of polished concrete, microcement is more lightweight, flexible and suitable for domestic and commercial interiors. Unlike polished concrete, microcement doesn’t require thick pours or heavy structural work—making it a practical choice for renovations and modern upgrades. Unlike polished concrete microcement never needs resealing and is not prone to wear and tear.

If you’re looking to create a contemporary, low-maintenance space with a bespoke finish, microcement is an ideal choice. It works just as well in a stylish home bathroom as it does in a busy commercial kitchen or retail setting.

We’ll work with you to design the perfect finish, matching your vision with expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Ready to transform your space with microcement?
