Microcement is applied by hand, in 5 to 7 layers, over what you already have: tiles, plasterboard, wood, marble or terrazzo. Nothing is torn out. The top layer is just 1 to 2 mm thick.
The surface is one continuous piece. No joints, no thresholds, no visible seam between floor and wall. We work with the panDOMO system from Germany's ARDEX and with the British FORCRETE system.
Because every layer is applied by hand with a trowel, no two rooms will turn out identical. The marks of the tool and slight variations in tone are part of the material, not a flaw. That is why you first see the materials and samples at our showroom. You can take a finished sample home and look at it in the light of your own space before we order anything.
We installed the first microcement floor in Serbia and the region in 2014. With the right protective topcoat it goes into bathrooms and showers, stands up to wear and sunlight, and works over underfloor heating. It can also be used outdoors.
One system, three different surface finishes. You choose the texture together with the colour, from samples at our showroom.
A smooth surface, an even tone and soft trowel marks. The most common choice for floors, walls and bathrooms when you want a calm backdrop. It comes in 42 standard colours, and for larger projects we also mix a custom colour.
See the colour chartA fine grain, evenly spread. The surface gains depth and you can feel it under your hand, yet it stays flat. Good for spaces with a lot of foot traffic. Eighteen types of stone and 42 base colours give 756 combinations.
See the colour chartA coarser grain, close to terrazzo, with clearly visible aggregate. The boldest of the three textures. For floors and walls that are meant to be noticed. Eleven types of coarse and eighteen types of fine stone, with 42 base colours, give 8,316 combinations.
See the colour chartMicrocement can go inside the shower as well. We lay waterproofing beneath it and choose the protective topcoat according to how humid the room is. The surface stays mineral, lets vapour through and is easy to clean.
We make shower trays to measure, ready for microcement, with a linear or round drain. We finish the washbasin and bathtub in the same material, so the floor, wall and bath remain one surface without a single joint.
Microcement is used in these spaces, with the right protective topcoat and a properly prepared substrate.
Villas, flats, bathrooms and kitchens. Floor, wall or both as one continuous surface.
Lobbies, apartment bathrooms, spa areas and corridors that call for one unbroken surface.
Flagship stores and boutiques that call for a quiet, neutral backdrop for the displays.
Bar and kitchen counters, worktops and furniture, alongside floors and walls in the same material, with no visible transitions.
Offices and commercial premises. Floor and wall surfaces that make a good impression and need little maintenance.
Below are the colours you can see in person at our showroom, both smooth and with a stone grain. For each colour you choose a finish, matt, satin or semi-gloss, depending on how the space will be used. For larger projects we also mix a custom colour.
The samples were photographed in daylight, so the colour on screen is approximate. You can see them in person at our showroom and take a finished sample home to look at in your own space.
It all starts at your place, with an assessment of the space and the substrate. How long it takes depends on the floor area and on the condition of the substrate.
In our showroom you get to know the materials and choose the texture and colour from samples. You can take a finished sample home to see it in your own space.
We look at what you have underneath and propose how to prepare it. This is where you find out whether there are any hidden costs.
You receive a detailed quote for all the work. Once you accept it, we order the material and book the dates.
Our team works on the agreed dates. The basic microcement system takes at least five days.
We walk through the space together and show you how to look after the floor. If you are moving in later, we can cover and protect the surfaces until you do, by arrangement.
Microcement: answers to the questions we hear most often from clients and the designers behind their projects.
Three things move the price: the condition of the surface underneath, the size of the area, and whether the walls are done as well or only the floor. Small areas cost more per square metre, because the preparation is the same whatever the size. We give an exact price after a site visit, once we have seen what is underneath. Send us the floor area and what the space is used for, and we will come back to you with an estimate.

Yes, and that is the most common case. Microcement is applied directly onto tiles, marble, terrazzo or wood, provided the surface is solid and no individual tiles are loose. Nothing is torn out, there is no chiselling and no skip. It is applied in 5 to 7 layers, and the top layer is 1 to 2 mm thick.

Microcement is a mineral material and follows the surface beneath it. If the concrete slab underneath moves or cracks, the crack carries through. That is why we check the substrate before installation and propose preparation that stops cracks from coming through to the surface. We do this before any material is ordered, at the surface assessment stage.
Installing the basic system takes at least five days, plus time to prepare the surface. You cannot live in the space while the work is under way, because the layers are drying and must not be walked on. The work is dry and involves no chiselling, so there is none of the dust you get when tiles are removed.
Yes. It goes into toilets, utility rooms and bathrooms, and with a waterproof system into the shower itself. We lay waterproofing beneath the microcement. We make shower trays to measure, with a linear or round drain. We finish the washbasin and bathtub in the same material, so the floor, wall and bath remain one surface without a single joint.

Like any other floor: vacuum it and wipe it with a damp cloth and a neutral cleaner. No abrasive or acid-based products, because they attack the topcoat. The protective topcoat is renewed over time, depending on how much use the floor gets. We do that ourselves, with no demolition and no reinstallation.
Microcement is applied in 5 to 7 layers, and the top layer is 1 to 2 mm thick. The total thickness depends on the system chosen and on how much preparation the surface needs, so you get the exact figure in the quote.
Because every layer is applied by hand by a craftsman. Trowel marks, slight variations in tone and a soft clouding of the surface are characteristics of the material, not installation faults. The same colour looks different under different light and next to a different wall colour. That is why you first see the materials and samples at our showroom, and you can take a finished sample home to look at in the room where the floor will go. Only after that do we order the material.
Last, once all the other work is finished and before the skirting boards go on. If that is not possible and other trades come in after us, we cover the surface with protective film and MDF boards. This is agreed in advance, because it goes into the quote.
Yes. It works as the floor, as the wall behind the cooker and as a worktop or counter in the same tone. For worktops we use a heavier-duty protective topcoat, because a worktop has to cope with hot pans, oil and lemon juice. That is also the most common reason people choose microcement for a kitchen: the whole kitchen comes out of one material.
We work with two systems, as certified installers: panDOMO by the German manufacturer ARDEX, and FORCRETE from the United Kingdom. Both are cement-based mineral systems: they are applied in layers onto the substrate and then protected with a topcoat.
