Microcement walls in the bathroom or toilet:
Looking for a modern, sleek look for your bathroom or toilet? Then Microcement offers exactly what you're looking for. Moreover, this seamless wall finish is rapidly gaining popularity—and for good reason. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about Microcement walls in wet areas like bathrooms and toilets.
What is Microcement?
Microcement is a thin, cement-based finishing layer applied to the substrate after preparation. This creates a seamless surface with an industrial, luxurious look. Moreover, more and more people are using microcement not only for floors but also for walls—especially in bathrooms and toilets.
Benefits of Microcement walls
- Seamless and hygienic: Because there are no joints, mold and dirt have virtually no chance. This also makes cleaning the walls faster and easier.
- Completely waterproof: We seal the wall with a PU topcoat, which keeps it waterproof. This makes Microcement ideal for shower rooms and toilets.
- Sleek, modern look: Microcement instantly creates a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere. It also has a minimalist and robust look, while maintaining warm natural tones.
- Versatile: You can freshen up a small toilet or transform an entire bathroom. Moreover, specialists can easily apply microcement over existing tiles.
- Choose from many colors: Gray tones are popular, but you can just as easily choose warm sand tones or cool concrete looks. This way, you can tailor the atmosphere to your interior.
What should you pay attention to?
Choose a specialist who applies Microcement with care. First, we properly prepare the substrate; then we meticulously apply the waterproof coating. This ensures the result will remain beautiful for years to come. Microcement also feels slightly warmer than traditional tiles, providing added comfort in the bathroom.
