Seamless Floor in Leiden
seamless, in your colour, for years.
We work regularly in Leiden — from monumental canal houses in Pieterswijk and along Rapenburg to sleek new-builds in Stevenshof and Roomburg. From our showroom in The Hague-Ypenburg, Leiden is a 30-minute drive via the A4. Two product lines: microcement for walls & furniture, Lavasteen Seamless Floor for floors in wet rooms.
What we do here — by neighbourhood
City Centre, Pieterswijk & Hoogvliet — canal houses and monuments
Leiden's city centre is filled with 17th/18th-century buildings along the canals (Rapenburg, Nieuwe Rijn, Oude Vest). Here we work primarily on bathroom walls and bespoke furniture in microcement — without affecting the monumental exterior structure or authentic timber floor joists. The municipality of Leiden enforces strict monument regulations; our technique complies by working over existing tiles without demolition.
Roomburg, Meerburg & De Mors — 1970s/80s renovation
On the eastern side of Leiden, many terraced houses from the 1970s/80s with cement screed floors and standard underfloor heating. Here we carry out complete kitchen and bathroom renovations with microcement on the walls and Lavasteen Seamless Floor on the floor. For an average terraced-house bathroom (6–8 m²) we are on site for 3 working days.
Stevenshof, Boshuizen & Morsdistrict — new-build and science park
In the north-western districts, predominantly anhydrite screed — an ideal substrate for our finish. Underfloor heating is standard. On projects around the Bio Science Park we often work in new rental flats for expats; there, speed (1-week completion) and precise finishing are essential.
Profburgwijk, Burgemeesterswijk & Tuinstadwijk — 1920s/30s villas
In Leiden's villa districts (Rijnsburgerweg, Wassenaarseweg), spacious homes with timber floor joists. We often install microcement walls here in soft tones (Pearl, Sand 1) for bathrooms; for living-room floors we recommend Lavasteen Seamless Floor (Linnen, Seashell) over a properly controlled subfloor.
Peat subsoil — Leiden-specific why this matters
Like Delft, part of Leiden sits on peat soil (especially the older city centre and parts of Tuinstadwijk). In homes built before 1970 we more frequently see cracking floors due to subsidence. Here we use an elastic primer layer beneath the seamless floor — it absorbs minor movements without cracks appearing in the top finish.
Which suits your Leiden project?
Microcement for walls, furniture & stairs
Mineral, matte-minimalist, 36 standard colours plus NCS & RAL. Subtle enough for 17th-century canal house or sleek for Stevenshof new-build — 1–2 mm thin, applied directly over existing substrate.
Lavasteen Seamless Floor for floors in wet rooms
Epoxy-based with fine quartz. Inherently waterproof, even when damaged. On Leiden peat substrates we use an elastic primer layer to accommodate settlement movement.

From our showroom at Laan van 's-Gravenmade 42L (Ypenburg), Leiden is a 30-minute drive via the A4. No-obligation home visit for measurement and advice.

Questions we often hear in Leiden
Do you work in listed canal houses in Leiden?
Yes, regularly — on bathrooms and small bespoke furniture in properties around Rapenburg, Pieterskerk and the Nieuwe Rijn. Our technique works directly over existing tiles without demolition, which fits within Leiden's listed-building requirements. If in doubt, we consult in advance with the monuments department of Leiden municipality.
How much does a seamless floor cost in Leiden?
DIY kits start at € 155 per 5 m² bucket of microcement, € 235 for Lavasteen Seamless Floor. For professional installation: € 90–150 per m² depending on substrate, colour and surface area. For Leiden within 15 km of The Hague no travel surcharge applies.
What do you do about subsidence on Leiden's peat subsoil?
For homes on peat ground (parts of the city centre and Tuinstadwijk) we use an elastic primer layer beneath the seamless floor. This absorbs small movements (0.5–1 mm settlement) without the top finish cracking.
Do you work with Leiden contractors?
Yes, we coordinate with plumbers, tilers and contractors throughout the Leiden region. On larger renovations (complete bathroom or kitchen) we align our schedule with that of other tradespeople.
How long does a Leiden bathroom project take?
For a bathroom (5–10 m²): 3–4 working days incl. drying time. Complete renovation project with plumber and tiler involved: 1–2 weeks. In listed buildings slightly longer due to extra precautions.
Do you also come to Oegstgeest, Voorschoten and Leiderdorp?
Yes, these locations fall within our standard service area without travel surcharge. We work here weekly on both new-build and renovation projects.
