Microcement Flooring Contractors in Toronto
Hand-applied, seamless microcement flooring for suitable residential and commercial interiors across Toronto and the GTA. We plan the finish around the substrate, room use, traffic, light and the intended level of texture and colour.
Microcement Flooring: Suitability, Preparation & Use
Microcement flooring is considered where the existing substrate, moisture conditions, room use and planned transitions suit the system. Preparation is specified for the individual floor rather than assumed from the visible surface.

Planning a Microcement Floor
Floor Decisions That Shape the Scope
A seamless finish begins with a project-specific assessment. The existing substrate, room use, expected traffic, light and adjoining surfaces guide the preparation and finish specification.

What Affects a Microcement Floor Quote?
A project-specific quote is based on the actual floor, not a generic rate. We assess the scope before specifying the system and finish.
Factors we review:
- Substrate & repairs: Existing levels, cracks, movement, moisture and previous finishes affect the preparation required.
- Room use & access: Foot traffic, furnishings, cleaning routines, working access and project phasing help define the specification.
- Transitions & details: Stairs, edges, floor-to-wall junctions, drains and tight areas require additional planning.
- Finish direction: Colour, texture, sheen and the selected protection system are planned for the space and its intended use.

Our 6-Step Microcement Floor Installation Process
We follow a clear sequence for consultation, surface assessment, preparation, hand application, curing and protection:
Step 1: Initial Design Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and assess the surfaces to be treated. Our expert microcement installers will guide you through color options, textures, and finishes, ensuring your design preferences are met.
Step 2: Surface Preparation & Substrate Engineering
We clean, prime and reinforce suitable surfaces—including mesh where the system calls for it—to prepare a stable base for the finish.
Step 3: Base Layer Application:
A high-grip primer/base is applied to provide a stable foundation.
Step 4: Artisanal Microcement Layers:
Thin hand-trowelled coats build the chosen tone, movement and texture. The number and sequence of coats are planned around the surface and intended finish.
Step 5: Drying and Curing:
After application, the finish is allowed to dry and cure according to the specified system and site conditions before protection is applied.
Step 6: Sealing and Protection:
The selected sealer and maintenance approach are specified for the intended room use and project conditions.

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 | Polished Concrete |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Timing varies with preparation, coats and curing | 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.
