What Is Microcement (Micro Concrete)?

Microcement (also called micro concrete) is an innovative, polymer-modified, cement-based coating applied in thin layers (typically 2–3 mm thick) over existing surfaces. This process is highly versatile, offering the polished aesthetic of concrete without the need for heavy demolition. It’s applied in multiple layers—typically 2–3 mm thick—and sealed for protection, creating a surface that is. Read more about microcement here.

When professionally applied and sealed, the resulting microcement floor is:

  • Seamless & Grout-Free: Creates a clean, continuous architectural look.

  • Fully Waterproof & Non-Porous: Ideal for high-moisture areas.

  • Ultra Durable: Resists wear, water, and impact—perfect for high-traffic areas.

  • Customizable: Fully customizable in color, texture, and finish (Matte, Satin, or Gloss).

Microcement Floor Installation: Our Meticulous Process

Installing microcement floors requires precision and the skill of certified microcement contractors in Toronto. We guarantee a flawless, long-lasting finish through this detailed process:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

We start by assessing and preparing the existing surface. It must be clean, dry, and stable. Any cracks or uneven areas are repaired to ensure proper adhesion.

Step 2: Priming

A bonding primer is applied to improve adhesion between the microcement and the substrate.

Step 3: Base Coat Application with Mesh

A reinforcing mesh is embedded into the first layer of base coat to add tensile strength and prevent cracking, especially on surfaces prone to movement. Once the mesh is set, additional base layers of microcement are applied, typically two to three in total. Each layer is carefully smoothed and leveled for consistency.

Step 4: Finishing Coat

A fine-grain finishing coat is applied to bring texture, color depth, and the final desired aesthetic. This is where your custom color and texture come to life (ask us about our free consultation!).

Step 5: Sanding & Refining

Once dry, the surface is sanded to remove imperfections and enhance smoothness or bring out texture.

Step 5: Sealing

A protective sealer is applied to make the surface waterproof, stain-resistant, and ready for daily use. Options include matte, satin, or gloss finishes.

Microcement Flooring: Your Questions Answered

Microcement is a revolutionary material that is quickly becoming a top choice for modern flooring in Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, and beyond. Its seamless, minimalist aesthetic and incredible versatility make it a popular alternative to traditional flooring, especially in high-traffic commercial spaces like boutiques, restaurants, and offices. Here are some of the most common questions we get about microcement floors.

How does your microcement contractor service work in Toronto?2025-10-22T15:33:24-04:00

Our microcement service is a comprehensive, multi-step process designed to deliver a flawless custom finish:

  • Consultation & Quote: We begin with an on-site consultation to assess your space, discuss your colour/texture vision, and provide a detailed, custom quote.
  • Custom Sample Creation: Before any work begins, we create a custom sample board for each project. This allows you to approve the exact texture and colour of your chosen finish, ensuring it perfectly matches your vision.
  • Surface Preparation (Key Step): We meticulously prepare the existing surface (e.g., sanding tile, repairing cracks) and apply a specialized epoxy primer to ensure maximum adhesion.
  • Base Coat & Mesh: A flexible fiberglass mesh and microcement base coat are applied to prevent movement and cracking, creating a stable foundation.
  • Application Layers: We apply 2-3 layers of the decorative microcement finish by hand, achieving the unique texture and movement.
  • Curing & Sealing: After adequate curing time, 2-3 layers of high-performance polyurethane sealant are applied. This final step guarantees waterproofing and durability.
Will microcement fade or change color over time?2025-10-01T13:02:11-04:00

No. High-quality pigments and UV-resistant sealers ensure the color remains stable and will not fade indoors over the life of the product.

Can I choose the color and finish?2025-10-01T13:01:38-04:00

Absolutely. Microcement is highly customizable. We offer free consultations to help you choose the perfect color, texture, and finish for your space.

 

What is the average microcement flooring cost per square foot in Toronto?2025-10-01T13:00:21-04:00

The cost starts from $25 per square foot. This price reflects the quality of premium materials, the complexity of the project, and the labor-intensive, multi-step application process required by skilled artisans.

 

Is microcement a healthy/non-toxic choice for indoor air quality?2025-10-01T13:02:26-04:00

Yes, microcement is an excellent choice. It is non-toxic and has zero VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a healthier, superior alternative to many traditional paints and sealers.

 

What is microcement flooring?2025-10-01T12:43:39-04:00

Microcement is a polymer-modified, cement-based coating applied in very thin layers over existing surfaces. It cures to form a strong, durable, and highly adhesive surface that creates a seamless, contemporary look without the need for demolition.

 

Can you install microcement over existing tile flooring? Hardwood?2025-10-01T12:53:04-04:00

Yes, a major advantage of microcement is installing it directly over existing tile floors—avoiding costly and messy demolition. It can also be applied to stable wood or plywood floors, though this requires specialized substrate preparation and reinforcement to ensure stability.

 

 

 

Is a microcement floor expensive?2025-08-30T16:35:58-04:00

While the upfront cost of a microcement floor is a premium investment, it is a reflection of the specialized skill, high-quality materials, and multi-day process required for a flawless installation. It is generally more expensive than standard tile or conventional concrete finishes, but it can be a more cost-effective alternative to options like natural stone or polished concrete when you consider the savings on demolition and subfloor preparation. Ultimately, the price delivers a durable, seamless, and uniquely luxurious finish that adds significant long-term value to your space.

What are the potential downsides of microcement, and how can they be avoided?2025-08-30T15:23:03-04:00

The primary risks associated with microcement—such as fissures, cracks, undesirable textures, or detachment—are not inherent flaws in the material itself. These issues are almost always the result of improper surface preparation or a lack of professional application.

To avoid these problems, it’s essential to hire a skilled and experienced applicator who meticulously follows every step of the process. A professional installation ensures the correct use of primers, reinforcement mesh, and multiple layers, guaranteeing a flawless, durable, and long-lasting finish.

 

Is microcement eco-friendly?2025-08-30T14:55:41-04:00

Microcement is a highly sustainable and eco-friendly material. It has a low carbon footprint, is made from natural minerals, contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), and its ability to be applied over existing surfaces reduces demolition and waste.

 

How thick is a microcement floor?2025-08-30T14:55:17-04:00

A finished microcement floor is incredibly thin, typically measuring only 2-3 mm (or about 1/8th of an inch) in thickness. This allows it to be applied over existing floors without raising the height of the floor significantly.

 

 

Is microcement waterproof?2025-08-30T14:54:44-04:00

Yes, when properly sealed with a commercial-grade polyurethane or epoxy sealant, microcement is completely waterproof and non-porous. This makes it a perfect solution for wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial washrooms.

 

Can microcement be installed over a floor with radiant heating?2025-08-30T14:54:17-04:00

Yes, microcement is an excellent choice for floors with radiant heating. Its flexibility and ability to be applied in thin layers allow it to perform exceptionally well with underfloor heating systems without cracking.

 

How long does a typical microcement floor installation take?2025-10-01T12:51:40-04:00

An average residential microcement floor project typically takes 3 to 5 days to complete, depending on the area size and the complexity of the surface preparation required.

 

 

Does microcement scratch or scuff easily?2025-08-30T14:53:10-04:00

Microcement is a very hard and durable material, and it is sealed with a high-performance sealant to resist scratches and scuffs from daily foot traffic. While no floor is completely scratch-proof, microcement is a practical and resilient choice for commercial spaces.

 

Is a microcement floor easy to clean and maintain?2025-08-30T14:52:34-04:00

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of a microcement floor is its low maintenance. Since it is a seamless surface with no grout lines, dirt and stains cannot accumulate. Regular cleaning with a neutral cleaner and a mop is all that is typically needed.

 

How long does a microcement floor last?2025-08-30T14:17:59-04:00

With proper installation and care, a microcement floor is highly durable and can last for decades. Its hard-wearing, flexible nature makes it resistant to cracking and common wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan.

 

Is microcement flooring durable? Can it handle heavy traffic?2025-10-01T12:57:58-04:00

Yes, microcement is extremely durable. Once a protective sealer is applied, it is highly resistant to scratches and wear. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and is perfect for both residential and commercial spaces.

 

How does your microcement contractor service work in Toronto?2025-10-22T15:33:24-04:00

In what ways does microcement outweigh these alternative flooring options?2025-10-01T12:47:24-04:00

Microcement’s key advantages are its seamless, grout-free aesthetic (unlike tile), its versatility to be applied directly over most existing substrates (unlike polished concrete), and its ability to offer a custom, natural texture and color (unlike synthetic epoxy).

 

How does microcement flooring compare to polished concrete?2025-10-01T12:46:52-04:00

While both share a similar aesthetic, microcement is a thinner overlay that can be applied directly over many existing surfaces (tile, wood, concrete) without the messy demolition required for polishing an existing concrete slab. This makes microcement more versatile and less invasive.

What are the primary alternatives to microcement flooring?2025-10-01T12:49:41-04:00

Common alternatives include Polished Concrete (invasive installation, limited to concrete slabs), Epoxy Flooring (durable, but often high-gloss and synthetic-looking), and Jewel Stone (textured overlay, but not as sleek as microcement).

Microcement Floors vs. Jewel Stone

Feature Microcement Jewel Stone
Thickness 2–3 mm 6–12 mm
Look Seamless, modern, matte or satin Textured, decorative, stamped-stone
Use Indoors & light-use outdoor areas Primarily outdoor (driveways, patios)
Finish Smooth or subtly textured Patterned, stone-like
Durability Excellent for indoor & light traffic High durability for exterior traffic
Customization Custom colors & textures Limited to stone/flagstone effects

Microcement floors are the ideal choice for modern interiors and design flexibility. Jewel Stone is better for rustic, outdoor-heavy traffic applications.

Microcement Floors vs. Polished Concrete

These two are often compared, but they’re quite different in feel, cost, and installation:

Feature Microcement Jewel Stone
Thickness 2–3 mm 50–100 mm slab
Seamlessness Fully seamless May have expansion joints
Look Soft, matte, troweled Glossy, stone-like, industrial
Installation Time Fast (no demolition needed) Long (pouring, curing, polishing)
Weight Load Lightweight Heavy structural slab
Customization Fully customizable Limited to natural concrete tones

Microcement is perfect for renovations and interiors needing fast, decorative finishes. Polished concrete is ideal for new builds with a structural slab and industrial aesthetic.
