Material Spec
Seamless, hand-troweled cementitious coating applied in 2–3mm layers over almost any substrate. A continuous, monolithic finish with no grout lines, custom-pigmented to specification, and finished in matte, satin, or polished sheens.
About the Material
Microcement is a polymer-modified, cementitious composite applied by hand in ultra-thin layers — typically only 2 to 3 millimeters total. Unlike poured concrete, it is not structural. It is decorative and protective, a continuous surface that bonds to almost any substrate beneath: existing concrete, tile, drywall, wood, or cement board. The finished surface has no grout lines, no seams, and no transitions. The architecture and the surface become one.
What makes microcement remarkable is what it permits. A shower without a single grout line. A vanity surround that flows seamlessly from countertop to wall to integrated niche. A bathroom floor that runs uninterrupted into the curb of the shower. Continuous wall surfaces that read as warm, mineral, and quietly architectural. Available in a wide range of pigments — soft earth tones, warm bones, cool grays, terracotta, charcoal — and finished to your specified sheen.
Microcement is not a DIY material. The application has strict steps — substrate prep, primer, multiple base coats, finish coats, sealing — and any deviation can compromise the entire surface. We install it ourselves, on-site, throughout Central Oregon. The studio time is not in the shop; it is in the layers built up under our finishers' hands at your project.
Where We Use It
The applications where microcement performs at its best.
A continuous surface for shower enclosures, including curbs and benches. No grout to clean, no transitions to seal. Waterproof when finished with our polyurethane sealer system.
Full-room or accent walls with a hand-finished mineral texture. The light catches differently as it moves across the surface — subtle, monolithic, never flat.
Niches carved into the wall itself. Vanity surrounds that flow into floating shelves. The finish builds directly into the architecture, eliminating the separation between cabinetry and wall.
Seamless flooring with no grout, no joints, no places for grime to gather. Continuous across thresholds, integrated with shower curbs, and finished with anti-slip additives where needed.
Restaurant feature walls, retail interiors, boutique hotel bathrooms, and lobby surfaces. A signature aesthetic for spaces that need to feel both warm and contemporary.
Microcement performs well in covered outdoor applications — patios, lanais, exterior feature walls under roof overhangs. Not recommended for unprotected freeze-thaw exposure.
