What is microcement?
Microcement is a popular and modern finish for your home, with which you create an industrial concrete look. It is also called concrete stucco. The product originally comes from France. The word literally means waxed / rubbed concrete and is a plaster mortar based on cement.
Spain is the origin of our microcement. For years we have been working with our manufacturer from Valencia, who, based on our experiences and those of our processors, implements changes and innovations in the product.
The most important features that make this product so popular: Powerful, industrial look, Wear-resistant, Seamless, Waterproof, Low maintenance
Frequently Asked Questions
Some advantages of microcement highlighted:
- Applicable almost everywhere: all surfaces are suitable, provided they are dimensionally stable and flat. Some surfaces need to be treated before microcement can be applied. This is easy to solve.
- Maintenance: microcement is easy to maintain because it is seamless and has no joints that can get dirty in the bathroom, for example. You can also easily clean the countertop and the table.
- Many colours: there are many colour options, such as our 16 standard colours. Choose the colour that best suits your interior.
- Water and oil resistant: Due to the waterproof coating and strength of the product, the microcement is resistant to all kinds of liquids, heat and scratches.

There are big price differences in the market when it comes to microcement products. We offer a fair price, for a complete microcement package with the best quality microcement. So no worries about missing items, poor quality, or expensive purchase. Prices for microcement that we see in the market:
- Product prices vary from €19-€50 per m². Pay attention to whether you are buying a complete package. For example, many suppliers do not include the water-repellent coating or the primer. In such a case, these must be ordered separately.
Want to have microcement applied?
The application can feel 'pricey' due to the number of steps. For each step (depending on the type of microcement this can go up to 9 or 10 steps), the processor must come by separately.
- Indication: €100-€140 per m² for a smaller surface, a lower price for more square meters. Contact us for the possibilities!
You will find microcement in many forms on the market. 4 important elements:
- Quality: There is a big difference in the quality of different products. The only way to find out is to test and use products that have proven themselves. As mentioned, we guarantee a rock-solid product.
- The number of layers of microcement: the number of layers of microcement determines the strength of the final product. We recommend 2 layers for a decorative application, for example 4 layers of microcement for a bathroom.
- Powder or paste form: microcement can be supplied in powder form or in a paste. The powder must be mixed with water, after which it also becomes a paste. We only offer ready-to-use microcement. The difference is in principle the ease of a ready-to-use paste versus powder that still has to be mixed (and weighed out yourself).
- Types of microcement: there are different types of microcement for different applications. The most common types are the grueso (base layer) and the fino (finish layer). 2 layers of each type are applied in a bathroom for example.
Ultimately, it is most important that you have the right products for the substrate and the application! Check out our packages to find out more about this.
- Take your time with your project. Drying microcement takes quite some time.
- Use a complete package from one supplier to avoid application and adhesion problems.
- Proper preparation of the substrate is essential; handle this well to avoid cracks!
- A microcement trowel or spatula is essential for the correct processing of the microcement!
- Microcement is not a normal plaster, so never use water when making glaze!
- Wait with placing objects on the microcement. The water-resistant coating must dry properly first!
