Microcement in the kitchen
seamless and low-maintenance.
A mineral floor or wall finish with a matte concrete look — no joints where crumbs or grease accumulate, one continuous surface from worktop to staircase.
One surface, no joints
Microcement is a mineral floor and wall finish with a matte concrete look. No joints where crumbs remain or grease settles — one continuous surface, hand-applied with a trowel.
Available in 50+ standard colours, plus bespoke in NCS, RAL and RAL Design.
For heavy-duty kitchen floors we recommend our Lavasteen Seamless Floor — thicker, more hard-wearing, waterproof even when damaged.
From worktop to outdoor kitchen
Microcement goes beyond floor and wall. A microcement worktop provides a seamless, joint-free workspace — no joints around the sink where dirt collects. On a splashback behind the hob, the surface can be wiped clean in one pass.
Outdoors too: a BBQ counter or outdoor kitchen worktop around a Big Green Egg remains matte, mineral and heat-resistant with the correct PU finish. For worktops and outdoor kitchen surfaces we apply additional layers of filling PU topcoat — for protection against cooking splashes, heat and outdoor conditions.
What lies beneath the finish
Why microcement in a kitchen
A kitchen is a workspace. Splashes, drops and scuff damage are part of daily use — and that requires a finish that withstands such wear without quickly looking shabby. Microcement with PU topcoat is suitable for this on walls (splashback, feature) and, when properly finished, on floors in light to medium-duty kitchen situations.
Splashback without joints
Behind the hob and worktop, microcement is a strong choice. No tile joints where grease and residue creep in — a smooth, mineral surface that you wipe clean in one pass. Can continue around sockets and light switches if you choose.
Floor in a light to medium-duty kitchen
For open-plan kitchens and family kitchens, microcement on the floor is a workable option. Two to three layers of PU topcoat provide wear resistance against sliding chairs, dropped cutlery and daily splashes. For commercial kitchens or heavy hospitality use we recommend Lavasteen Seamless Floor as a more durable alternative.
Colour choice in kitchen lighting
A kitchen typically has bright task lighting above the worktop and softer light in the dining area. A microcement floor or wall appears differently in both lighting situations — always test with colour samples in the location where you want to see it. We visit for a site survey so we can advise the right shade based on your lighting conditions.
Maintenance suits daily use
Daily wiping with a damp cloth and a neutral cleaner suffices. No scouring pads, no aggressive degreasers — these can eventually damage the PU topcoat. Stains from red wine or tomato sauce can be removed with ordinary soapy water, provided they are noticed within a reasonable time.
Lavasteen Seamless Floor
Thicker, more hard-wearing, waterproof even when damaged
Lavasteen Seamless Floor is a seamless epoxy floor with ground lava stone worked in — 3 to 5 mm thick instead of the 1–2 mm of microcement. Suitable for kitchens with heavier use: open kitchens, commercial kitchens, culinary training facilities.
The epoxy mass is intrinsically waterproof, even when the top layer is damaged. Granular structure provides natural slip resistance.
