The term microcement is widely used in the market to describe a variety of products and systems. In most cases, people searching for microcement are looking for the appearance of concrete: sleek, seamless and with a natural concrete look. A traditional concrete floor, however, is often impractical in existing homes due to its substantial thickness and weight.
BASE Microcement offers a practical, premium alternative. Unlike traditional concrete, which is typically applied in layers several centimetres thick, BASE Microcement has a build-up of just 2–3 mm. This makes it an excellent choice for renovation projects and, in many cases, allows it to be applied directly over existing surfaces without the need for extensive building work.
In addition to its minimal thickness, BASE Microcement stands out for its technical performance. While natural concrete is inherently porous and requires impregnation to become stain-resistant, BASE Microcement is fully waterproof thanks to its multi-layer system and protective finish.
BASE Microcement is also highly durable and designed to withstand intensive daily use. It combines the robust appearance of concrete with the flexibility and long-lasting performance of a modern microcement system, creating seamless floors and walls with an industrial aesthetic while offering the comfort and practical benefits required for contemporary living.
In short, if you're looking for the look of a genuine concrete floor without the disadvantages of thick, heavy concrete, BASE Microcement provides a durable, stylish and practical solution.
Microcement is a thin mineral-based finish made from cement and resin that is applied directly over existing surfaces. The result is a seamless finish with a modern, natural and handcrafted appearance. Thanks to its minimal thickness, it is ideal for both renovation projects and new builds.
Microcement is generally denser, harder and more wear-resistant than Beton Ciré. This makes it better suited to intensive use and provides greater technical performance, particularly in wet areas and high-traffic environments.
Microcement is extremely versatile and can be applied to floors, walls, stairs and furniture. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and is widely used in homes, retail spaces, hospitality venues and offices.
For larger projects or greater surface areas, it is also possible to develop a bespoke colour, allowing the finish to perfectly complement the design, atmosphere or branding of your project.
Yes. Microcement can be used in bathrooms and other wet areas, provided the system is correctly installed with the appropriate layers and protective finish. Its water resistance depends on the complete system build-up, making it suitable for a wide range of moisture-prone environments.
Microcement is applied in very thin layers of approximately 2–4 mm. This makes it an ideal choice for renovation projects where build-up height is limited. Despite its minimal thickness, it is a hard-wearing and durable material designed for everyday use.
Microcement is a durable and highly wear-resistant material. The visibility of everyday wear depends on the chosen finish. Smoother finishes may show marks slightly more than textured finishes. The more texture and depth the surface has, the better minor signs of wear are visually concealed. Compared to a polyurethane seamless floor, microcement is generally harder and therefore less likely to show visible scratches, although careful use is always recommended. It is also a practical choice for households with pets, as its seamless surface is easy to clean and the natural texture helps to make minor wear marks less noticeable.
Microcement is available in a variety of finishes, ranging from sleek and subtle to more robust and expressive with additional depth and texture. The final appearance is determined by the chosen application technique, making every project unique.
Yes. Microcement is available in a wide range of colours. For larger projects, bespoke colours can also be created to perfectly complement the interior design or desired aesthetic.
Microcement offers several key benefits:
Microcement and polyurethane seamless floors are both premium flooring systems, but they differ significantly in character. A polyurethane floor is more flexible, softer underfoot and has a sleek, uniform finish. Microcement offers a more mineral, handcrafted appearance with greater variation in texture, movement and depth. As a result, microcement has a more natural and vibrant look, while polyurethane floors are characterised by a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Yes. Microcement can be finished in a variety of styles, ranging from smooth and understated to more floated, robust and expressive finishes with additional depth. The chosen application technique largely determines the final appearance.
In our showroom, you can compare different colours, textures and finishes. Together, we'll determine which appearance and application technique best suits your space and intended use, ensuring every microcement floor is fully tailored to your project.
We believe that good preparation is essential, which is why we take the time to give every customer our full attention.
