It is recommended for very flat vertical surfaces (gypsum, plasterboard, DM etc.) and which allow direct application. For any type of use whether household (dwellings) or public (commercial premises, offices etc.) and its use is preferably recommended in interior spaces, not being recommended in damp areas.
Great for vertical and horizontal surfaces for any type of use whether household or public and its use is preferably recommended in interior spaces, not being recommended in damp areas.
Suitable for vertical and horizontal surfaces which are in direct contact with water, either for household or public use and its use is recommended in interior spaces (shower trays, surfaces adjoining the shower and wash-stands).
This coating is used to coat those areas where it is required a more industrial/rustic appearance, as well as putting technical characteristics before aesthetics. It can be applied indoor (shops, offices, restaurants, etc.), outdoor (facades, terraces, etc.) and in areas with direct contact with water.
it's a specific coating for application on floors with a very high mechanical demand, maximum hardness and resistance.
Coating applied in a simple system that allows to add to your floors and walls an aged patina together with the depth of the microcement's own texture.
Its a 2-component and epoxy based continuous coating, made up of minerals and micronised aggregates, with extreme resistances and adherence, which can be applied on different pre-existing surfaces. System used on surfaces which are in permanent contact with water.
A system based on the final application of a mixture of metallic pigments and acrylic resins that provides a totally different design and aesthetic to the traditional.
Microcement is a great option for kitchens, living areas, bathrooms and wet rooms because of the ability to completely customise the material in terms of colour, tone and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE STRENGTH OF MICROCEMENT?
Despite its lack of thickness, one of this material’s most significant properties is its high resistance and hardness; Tecnocemento Industry can even be used in areas of high traffic.
Several factors influence the resistance and hardness of microcement, such as the support on which it is applied, the type of microcement chosen, as well as the sealant used on the finished microcement.
ON WHAT SURFACES CAN MICROCEMENT BE APPLIED?
Microcement can be applied to almost any type of surface: cement mortar, self-levelling compound, hardboard, plywood, marble, tile, plasterboard, over existing plaster and many more. Microcement can also be applied on both vertical and horizontal surfaces in interior and exterior spaces.
The surface must be stable and dry and free of dust or grease.
One of the main properties of microcement is its high adhesion. Thanks to this it is possible to apply microcement on tiles, speeding up the renovation process and avoiding the debris of the original lining. In most cases, we would use fibreglass mesh to strengthen the support of the microcement layers.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MICROCEMENT AND POLISHED CONCRETE?
Although the aesthetic finish may appear similar, it is not the same.
With microcement one benefits from the following advantages:
- Faster application with microcement
- Microcement has no wait time between pour and polish as polished concrete does (which can save 6 weeks!)
- Microcement requires no large machinery or heavy plant tools required for its application.
- Less time. Lower Cost.
- Microcement is infinitely lighter and thus avoids structural load difficulties.
- It is also 2-3mm deep rather than 50-100mm deep
- Microcement can be used in any room, not just on ground floors and basements.
- Microcement has no joints involved, so no hairline (or larger) cracks appear following the drying process.
- Microcement application possible on both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
IS MICROCEMENT WATERPROOF?
Microcement has seamless, crack-proof and waterproof qualities. It is often used in bathrooms, showers, kitchen counters, wet rooms, as external renders, patios and even in swimming pools.
All of the advantages of tiles or external concrete / render with the benefit of no lines, cracks and the endless beautiful appearances to accompany.
IS MICROCEMENT NON SLIP?
Microcement with Highly Decorated comes in several forms some of which naturally have more grit and texture to offer non slip support.
Other types of finer finished Microcement such as the Tecnocemento 80/20 range are not naturally non slip but can have a non slip element added to the final sealants to ensure they are safer underfoot whilst still sleek and smooth to touch.
HOW LONG DOES A MICROCEMENT INSTALL TAKE?
A typically install will take 5-6 days.
This consists of the following;
Day 1). Preparation – Epoxy base where required. Fibreglass mesh laid and stuck with water based compound
Day 2). First Coat of Tecnocemento Base trowelled on.
Day 3). First coat of Tecnocemento Base sanded down with electric hand held sanders. Second coat of Tecnocemento Base trowelled on.
Day 4). Second Coat of Tecnocemento Base sanded down with electric hand held sanders. First coat of final Microcement Compound trowelled on (Tecnocemento 80/20, Tecnocemento Industry)
Day 5). First Coat of final Microcement Compound (Tecnocemento 80/20, Tecnocemento Industry) sanded down. Second coat of final Microcement compound trowelled on.
Day 6). Second coat of final Microcement compound sanded down. Final 4 coats of presealer and sealer applied. This gives floor / walls ultimate protection, non-slip elements where required and the final desired finish (matte, satin or gloss)

DOES MICROCEMENT REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE?
To ensure the long and durable life of our microcements, we recommend the use of water and neutral soaps.
The care of microcement is similar to that of natural wood parquet. We advise to avoid permanent wetness, or prolonged contact with moisture. The surfaces should also be kept free of stones or grit which can scratch the coating. Avoid any blows and rubbing with hard objects.
Although microcement offers a high resistance to chemicals, cleaning should be done with neutral soaps, never with aggressive or descaling products. Additionally, avoid products such as chlorine, bleach, ammonia, soaps and detergents in general, as they can damage the protective film.
