Microcement Wall Kit
Our micro cement wall kit is a synergistic coating system that can create durable minimalist, raw-concrete effect feature walls.
Our micro cement finish is not only flexible, seamless, versatile, with a tactile finish but is also highly resistant to abrasion and staining. Micro cement coatings are ideal for interior walls in kitchens and living rooms, bathrooms and even in shower cubicles.
If you’re looking for a complete wall and floor system, please see our Microcement Floor and Wall Kit. This kit can also help you to address possible movement and cracks as the base coat and mesh creates a resilient, even more flexible coating. On the other hand, if you only need better-than-average durability, but not complete a completely watertight coating, then see our Beton Cire.
If you want to create a Metallic oxidised look to Microcement, you can use Roxidan.
The kit also comes with the ‘ART’ heavy-duty protector that gives the micro cement not only greater impact resistance, but will also make the finish more resistant to hot and cold liquids.
If you’d like to test the quality of our microcement check out our Microcement Sample kit you will be able to cover roughly 0.5msq.

Microcement Colours
The colours and the look can be tailored to suit any design; you can also select from 20 carefully selected contemporary colours from our “Colours of Britain” range which can be further modified to an almost infinite number of shades (for bespoke colours please call or email us).
The colours presented on our site are as close to the real ones as possible and show the look of the real finish, which is another distinctive advantage of our site and system.

Tools for Micro Cement
To achieve a compact polished concrete or cement look our micro cement should be applied by a plastic trowel (if you’d like to see little or no ‘movement’) or a Venetian plastering trowel. (for a compressed smooth polished concrete look that is more ‘dramatic’)
Our protectors, applied by roller, which come in satin or gloss ensure that you can enjoy this finish for many years to come. For the waxed concrete look finishes see our Beton Cire Kit with stunning finishes.

Trivia
A variation of micro cement was and is still used by the British shipbuilding industry to coat steel ships’ nails to increase their corrosion protection.
