Microcement
Microcement in Singapore
Seamless. Modern. Timeless. A continuous cement-look surface for floors, walls and wet areas, applied by our own craftsmen over a substrate we prepared ourselves.
What it is
One surface, no grout line, 2 to 3mm thin
Microcement is a hand-trowelled mineral coating built up in thin layers over an existing surface. It reads like poured concrete but it is millimetres deep, so it can go over a floor or a wall you already have without hacking it out and starting again.
Seamless by definition
No tiles, so no grout lines to discolour, no lippage and no joints to fail. A bathroom floor can run up the wall and into the shower as one continuous surface.
Thin enough to overlay
At 2 to 3mm it rarely forces you to raise a threshold, cut a door or lose ceiling height, which is why it suits a renovation rather than a rebuild.
Floors, walls and wet areas
Living areas, kitchens, bathroom walls, shower enclosures, vanity tops, feature walls and stair treads, all in the same finish.
Colour and texture are chosen, not bought
The pigment, the trowel pattern and the sealant sheen are decided together on site. Two applicators can take the same material to two very different results.
A sample before anything scales
We put a sample panel up in your space, in your light, and get your sign-off before a square foot of the real surface is laid.
Sealed, then maintained
The surface is protected with a sealant matched to the room. Wet areas and kitchens are resealed periodically, and we will tell you the honest interval rather than sell you a maintenance-free floor.
The detail
The corners are where you can see who laid it
Anyone can trowel the middle of a wall. The internal corner, the basin return, the shower threshold and the junction where the floor turns up the wall are where a microcement job is actually judged.
Why the installer decides the result
Do not let the tile crew do your microcement
Microcement is not a product you buy, it is a skill you hire. The same material in two pairs of hands gives you two different rooms, and most of the failures people describe are application failures, not material failures. This is the single reason we keep it in house.
Our craftsmen are on our payroll
The people who apply your microcement are our employees, not a crew borrowed for the week. No subcontractor chain, no different team on day three.
Trained by the material brands
Our finishers are trained directly by leading European material brands on the systems they apply, rather than learning the product on your wall.
The same team does the substrate
Levelling, moisture testing and wet-area waterproofing are ours too. A microcement surface inherits every fault in what is underneath it, so we do not inherit somebody else's.
Discover surface foundationOne warranty with one name on it
If something needs attention, there is nobody for us to point at. One contact, one accountability line, one year on workmanship after handover.
Where it works
And where we will tell you to use something else
Microcement is the highest-value finish we lay, and it is not the right answer everywhere. We would rather lose the line item than hand over a surface that will move.
Right for it
Bathrooms and powder rooms, kitchen and feature walls, open plan living floors, vanity tops, stairs and any space where a grout line would break the look.
Wet areas, with the membrane first
Microcement is not a waterproofing layer. In a shower or a balcony it goes over a proper membrane system, which we install and test before the finish goes anywhere near it.
Discover waterproofingWrong for it
A substrate that moves. Flexing timber decks, unrepaired structural cracks and floors with live moisture will telegraph through a 2mm surface, and no applicator can trowel that out.
What we do instead
Sometimes the honest answer is large-format tile, a poured screed or a vinyl system. We carry all of them, so the recommendation is not a sales decision.

They prepped the substrate properly, that's why our microcement floor still looks brand new two years on. Workmanship you can feel.
