Microcement Floor and Wall Kit
With the 10 square metre microcement flooring and wall kit -which is a combined, high-quality multi-layer coating system– you can create minimalist and contemporary surfaces on floors, walls and ceilings. Our microcement is arguably the easiest to apply on the UK market, with an amazing cost/value ratio, that includes more material than any other similar system to make sure you have ample microcement to create a durable, waterproof finish on floors, walls and even ceilings!
With our microcement flooring and wall kit you can create seamless, waterproof and durable finishes in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms and even in shower cubicles. You won’t need to worry about maintenance as the resin will ensure that water will not penetrate and the coating will last.

If you want to create a Metallic oxidised look to Microcement, you can use Roxidan.
Alternatively, for walls, only kits see our Micro Cement Wall Kit or Beton Cire Kit pages.
Our Microcement wall and flooring kit now can be further enhanced with our new protector, TOP ART. This not only makes the coating harder, but also more heat resistant; see our Microcement Worktop Kit, or select the TOP Satin ART protector option.

Microcement Colours
If you choose our microcement pack you can select from 20 colours which can be further modified and personalised for you to provide you with an almost infinite number of shades (for details contact our sales team). These microcement colours were developed in London and are based on the most requested and popular contemporary colours.
Unlike any other provider, the colours presented on our site are as close to the real ones as possible and show the look of the real finish.

Tools for Microcement
To create an outstanding look with our microcement floor and wall kit you will need a plastic trowel and a Venetian plastering trowel.
With this microcement kit you’ll have a lightweight flooring solution on 2 to 3mm, but more importantly, it can also be applied with some added preparation on furniture. You can further customise this system with gloss, satin or matt protectors, applied by roller, to create a long-lasting finish. Top satin ART is now also available which provides additional durability along with enhanced heat protection.

Impera Italia’s Advice™
If you sand the coats and apply this finish with a plastic trowel you can eliminate most of the movement and can actually achieve a microcement finish with no or little movement!
Trivia
Microcement products derive their strength not only from the nature of the mineral-, micronised cement base and their compactness, but also from the reinforcing effect of the resins.
