Microcement is an increasingly popular choice for home interiors due to its versatility and modern aesthetic.
Here are some of the key benefits of using microcement in the home:
Seamless Finish
No Grout Lines: Unlike tiles, microcement can be applied in large, continuous areas without grout lines, giving a clean, seamless look.
Smooth and Uniform Appearance: It creates a sleek and minimalist surface, enhancing modern, industrial, or contemporary interiors.
Durability
Highly Resistant: Microcement is resistant to wear, scratches, impacts, and chemical agents, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways, and living rooms.
Waterproof (with Sealant): When properly sealed, microcement becomes water-resistant, which makes it a great option for bathrooms and wet areas like shower walls and floors.
Versatility
Applicable on Various Surfaces: It can be applied on floors, walls, ceilings, and even furniture. It adheres well to materials like concrete, tiles, plasterboard, and wood.
Variety of Finishes: Microcement comes in different colors and finishes (matte, satin, or gloss), allowing for customisation to fit any home design.
Thin Layer Application
Minimal Thickness: The layer of microcement is typically only 2-3 mm thick, which means it doesn't significantly alter the structure’s weight. This makes it suitable for renovations, as it can be applied over existing surfaces without the need for demolition.
Low Maintenance
Easy to Clean: The absence of grout lines and its smooth finish make microcement easy to clean. It only requires basic sweeping or mopping with neutral cleaners.
Stain Resistance: With proper sealing, microcement is resistant to stains, which is particularly useful in kitchens and bathrooms.
Modern Aesthetic
Industrial and Contemporary Look: Microcement provides a raw, minimalist aesthetic often seen in modern homes. Its concrete-like finish brings an industrial or loft-style vibe, but it can also work well in rustic or warm interiors, depending on the color and texture used.
Quick Installation
Time-Saving: Microcement can be applied quickly by skilled professionals, especially when compared to tiling or other decorative finishes. It also requires fewer materials and less labour, which reduces overall project time.
Cost-Effective
Lower Installation Costs: Since microcement can be applied directly over existing surfaces, it eliminates the need for demolition, which can cut down on labor and material costs in renovation projects.
Longevity: Its durability and low maintenance needs also contribute to cost savings over time.
Environmentally Friendly
Minimal Waste: Due to its thin application and ability to cover existing surfaces, microcement generates less waste compared to other materials.
Low VOCs: Many microcement products are made with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are better for indoor air quality. Make sure you choose a cementitious product, as epoxy substitutes are harmful for the environment.
Customisable Designs
Textured or Smooth: Microcement allows for a range of textures and designs, from smooth and polished to rough and rustic, giving homeowners flexibility in styling.
Integration with Other Materials: It can be combined with materials like wood, metal, or glass to create a unique and personalised interior design.
Microcement's versatility, combined with its aesthetic and practical benefits, makes it a smart choice for anyone looking to update their home with a modern, durable, and stylish feel.
