Microcement / Walls
Microcement walls
+ surfaces.
Carry one tactile cement-based finish across walls, counters and selected architectural elements.
The right system
One material language across vertical details.
Microcement can finish walls, joinery features and selected fitted surfaces to create a continuous architectural effect. Corners, fixtures, waterproofing and substrate stability are central to a lasting result.
Identify splash zones, cleaning products, penetrations and changes of substrate. Agree corner treatment and a sample of the hand-applied texture at the scale it will be seen.
Primary outcome
Material continuity across vertical and horizontal design features.
Designed for
feature walls and selected architectural surfaces.
Technical overview
What microcement walls and surfaces means in practice.
Microcement can continue across walls, counters and selected joinery substrates to create material continuity. Each background requires its own reinforcement, priming and edge-detail strategy.
Choose it when
feature walls, reception counters and coordinated commercial interior elements.
Check before specifying
substrate type, board joints, corners, water exposure, fixing points, lighting and future access panels.
Finish expectations
Microcement is hand applied, so subtle trowel movement is intrinsic. Agree colour, texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
Cleaning + maintenance
Use approved pH-neutral products, felt protection beneath movable furniture and rapid spill removal. Avoid abrasive pads or aggressive descalers unless approved.
Use conventional plaster or panel finishes where frequent impact, movement or easy replacement is more important.
Illustrative system image; agree the actual finish by sample.Specification framework
Decisions to fix before tender.
01Substrate
Confirm soundness, movement, moisture and compatibility with the complete layered system.
02Detailing
Resolve corners, joints, penetrations, thresholds and interfaces before application.
03Finish
Approve colour, trowel texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
04Care
Define traffic, wet use, cleaning products, furniture protection and sealer maintenance.
Delivery method
Surveyed, sampled and delivered in-house.
Site survey + substrate review
Condition, flatness, contamination, repairs, access and programme constraints are recorded.
Finish specification + sample
Appearance, performance and realistic slab variation are agreed before full installation.
Controlled installation
Our specialist team manages preparation, finishing, protection and handover.
Specification questions
Questions to settle early.
Can microcement go directly over any wall?
No. The existing surface must be sound and compatible with the selected system; wet areas may need a separate waterproofing strategy.
Is microcement waterproof?
A decorative coat alone is not waterproofing. Wet areas require a compatible system and substrate detail designed for that use.
Will every area look identical?
No. Hand application creates subtle variation; sample approval should establish the intended range of movement and tone.
Start a conversation
Discuss your microcement walls and surfaces project.
Send the location, approximate area, construction stage, intended use and programme. Include plans or photographs if available; we can then discuss the most suitable next step.
