Contemporary microcement fireplace surround featuring a raw industrial look and a seamless, monolithic design.

If you’re seeking a modern, seamless, and durable finish for your vertical surfaces in Toronto, the microcement wall is the ultimate solution. Microcement (or micro concrete) is a polymer-modified, cement-based coating applied in ultra-thin layers that cures into an exceptionally strong, flexible, and waterproof surface. This material is perfectly suited to creating a sleek, customized aesthetic that effortlessly enhances both residential and commercial spaces across the GTA.

Seamless Modern Interiors

Seamless Modern Interiors Stop seeing grout and start seeing possibility. The microcement wall delivers a clean, architectural finish that instantly elevates any room. Due to its monolithic, high-performance properties, microcement excels in both residential and commercial projects.

In homes, microcement walls create sophisticated feature walls, capturing aesthetics that range from the raw texture of brutalist design to sleek, calming minimalist style.

In commercial spaces—like retail stores, cafes, restaurants, and offices—the durable, seamless nature of microcement provides a resilient, industrial backdrop or a crisp, modern surface that handles heavy traffic while making an immediate aesthetic statement

Why Choose Micro Cement Walls Over Traditional Finishes?

Application Versatility: More Than Just a Wall

Application Versatility: More Than Just a Wall

The beauty of a microcement wall is that the finish can wrap seamlessly onto surrounding elements, unifying the design of a room. A micro cement wall finish is ideal for:

  • Standard Interior Walls: Creating a feature wall in a living room or bedroom.
  • Wet Area Walls: Replacing tile in showers and bathroom surrounds.
  • Kitchen Backsplashes: Providing a durable, easy-to-clean alternative to tile.
  • Architectural Features: Coating fireplaces, columns, and curved features for a sculptural look.
  • Exterior Walls: Suitable for exterior cladding when properly prepared and sealed for outdoor use.

Customizing Your Microcement Wall Paint Look

While microcement is a trowel-applied plaster, the customization process is often referred to as choosing a microcement wall paint look because the color range is so extensive.

  • Color Depth: Microcement can be tinted to match virtually any standard color palette, allowing you to choose anything from deep charcoal and indigo to warm, earthy neutrals.

  • Texture: The final look is defined by the trowel technique. We can create surfaces that range from smooth and polished (mimicking Tadelakt) to heavily textured and matte (achieving a rustic concrete aesthetic).

  • Fine vs. Coarse Finish: You can customize the look by selecting a fine finish or a coarse finish for a more pronounced, rustic, and heavily textured appearance.

Investing in Micro Cement Walls

Investing in a professionally applied microcement wall is choosing a long-term, custom solution. The cost reflects the superior quality of the materials (flexible polymers, fiberglass mesh, commercial-grade sealers) and the meticulous, labor-intensive application process. The investment for a microcement wall typically starts from $25 per square foot.

However, this price can be flexible:

  • Large Projects: Pricing can be lower for very large, continuous areas due to economies of scale.
  • Decorative Only: Costs may also be adjusted if the application is purely for decorative purposes on a flat, ready-to-use surface, rather than complex waterproof areas like showers.

The final price is influenced by:

  • Complexity: Walls with multiple corners, niches, or extreme heights increase complexity.
  • Surface Preparation: Applying microcement over existing tile or smooth drywall requires different preparation steps.
  • Waterproofing Needs: A microcement wall intended for a shower requires additional layers of specialized sealant, increasing the cost compared to a dry living room wall.

FAQ: Microcement Walls Installation

Can microcement be applied over existing tile or painted drywall?2025-10-22T16:57:07-04:00

Yes, absolutely. One of the greatest advantages of a microcement wall is its versatility. It can be applied directly over virtually any stable, non-moving substrate, including existing tile, drywall, plaster, and painted surfaces. This makes the application process less invasive and eliminates the time and cost associated with demolition.

Are microcement walls durable and how do they compare to traditional paint?2025-10-22T16:57:37-04:00

Microcement walls are exceptionally durable and scratch-resistant, far exceeding the performance of traditional paint. Since microcement is a cementitious, polymer-modified product, it cures into a very hard surface that resists daily wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or commercial spaces.

Do microcement walls look rough, or can they achieve a smooth finish?2025-10-22T16:58:21-04:00

Microcement offers a wide range of aesthetic finishes. While it can certainly achieve a raw, industrial concrete look, skilled application allows for highly refined finishes as well. You can select microcement finish textures ranging from a pronounced, rugged feel to a very smooth, polished finish with subtle, natural movement, depending on the troweling technique and sealant used.

Is microcement a true waterproofing solution for showers and bathrooms?2025-10-22T16:58:52-04:00

Yes. When installed correctly by a professional, microcement walls are an excellent waterproofing solution. The key is not the microcement itself, but the application of a multi-layer, commercial-grade polyurethane sealant system on top. This process creates a continuous, non-porous barrier that is perfect for shower enclosures and wet areas.

How does your microcement contractor service ensure the longevity of the walls?2025-10-22T17:00:07-04:00

A high-quality microcement contractor service focuses heavily on the unseen preparation steps. We ensure longevity by:

  • Substrate Stabilization: Applying flexible mesh and repair agents to prevent future movement and cracking.
  • Custom Sample Approval: Ensuring you approve the exact texture and color before application begins.
  • Primer/Bonding Agents: Using specialized epoxy primers for maximum adhesion to the substrate.
  • Premium Sealant: Applying multiple coats of a UV-stable, high-performance polyurethane sealer to guarantee durability and waterproofing.
