Frequently Asked Questions

Eco Microcement is a family-run specialist serving London and surrounding counties, with more than a decade of installation experience across residential, commercial and selected light-industrial projects. Every project begins with the substrate and intended use rather than a one-size-fits-all finish.

The system is applied by hand in controlled layers and finished with an appropriate protective sealer. This approach allows colour, texture, sheen and slip characteristics to be matched to the environment while keeping the overall build-up relatively thin.

Typical build-upApprox. 4–5 mm for many microcement systems; final build-up depends on specification.
ApplicationMulti-layer, hand-applied system over a properly prepared substrate.
FinishSeamless, joint-free appearance with colour and texture options.
Project typesResidential, commercial and selected light-industrial environments.

Microcement is a decorative coating that is applied by hand in multiple thin layers creating a seamless, continuous surface. Microcement can be applied directly over the existing substrate, from tiles and concrete to plasterboard and wood, eliminating the disruptive demolition work and giving your space a new, modern and aesthetical look.

Yes. The correct system is selected according to traffic, moisture, substrate condition and the required finish.

Often yes. Stable tiles, concrete and screed can frequently be retained after appropriate preparation, reducing demolition.
