Microcement · Mallorca
Microcement, made for Mediterranean interiors.
A thin, decorative cement-based surface applied by hand, creating calm visual continuity across floors, walls and bespoke details.
A continuous surface
Microcement is applied in thin layers over a suitably prepared surface, then sealed. Because it can flow from floor to wall and from room to room without the grid of grout lines, it brings a quiet sense of space, something that suits the light, proportions and materials of Mallorcan homes particularly well.
Every surface is finished by hand, so you will see subtle, natural variation rather than a factory-uniform look. That gentle movement is part of its character, and we help you decide how much of it you want.
Smooth microcement
A refined, contemporary finish with soft, understated movement. Smooth microcement works beautifully in minimal bathrooms, open-plan living spaces and kitchens where you want the surface to feel calm and seamless.
Colour can be tailored to complement stone, timber and natural light, from warm sand and limestone tones to deeper greys.
Rustic microcement
More movement, more visible texture and greater tonal variation. A rustic finish sits naturally alongside exposed stone, aged beams and handmade tiles, ideal when you want the surface to feel lived-in and full of character.
Seeing physical samples side by side is the best way to choose between smooth and rustic.
Where it can be used
Subject to a suitable specification for each surface, microcement can be considered for:
- Floors and continuous living spaces
- Feature and full-height walls
- Bathrooms and walk-in showers
- Kitchens and worktops
- Stairs and built-in seating
- Commercial and hospitality interiors
Practical considerations
Preparation matters. The base must be stable, sound and appropriately prepared. Movement, damp or a weak substrate can affect the finished surface, so we assess conditions before recommending an approach.
Existing tiles. In some projects microcement can be applied over existing tiles, but this depends on their condition and how securely they are bonded. We will advise whether an overlay is appropriate.
Wet areas. Bathrooms and showers need an appropriate system, including waterproofing details and sealers. We specify these case by case rather than assuming every surface is suitable.
Care. Like any natural-looking surface, microcement benefits from sensible care: pH-neutral cleaning products and attention to the sealer over time. We provide guidance for your specific finish.
Questions
What is the difference between smooth and rustic microcement?
Smooth microcement has a more uniform, contemporary appearance with subtle hand-applied movement. Rustic finishes introduce more visible texture and tonal variation. We will bring samples to you, so that you can see and feel the different textures, so that you can see them, in your own home.
Can microcement be used in bathrooms and showers?
Microcement can be specified for bathrooms and wet areas as part of an appropriate system. Suitability depends on the substrate, preparation, waterproofing details and sealers. We assess the proposed application before recommending a finish.
Can it go over existing tiles?
In some projects, yes. Existing surfaces must be assessed for stability, condition and preparation requirements. We will advise whether an overlay is appropriate for your space.
Is microcement a long lasting finish?
We are experts in understanding Mallorca. The hard water, the ways you will walk over it, from beach sand to rustic land. We can discuss which finishes to use in which part of your home. We provide a fully personalised service to you, to suit your needs.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Pricing and timing depend on the area, surface condition, preparation, chosen finish and access. Share your plans or approximate measurements so we can discuss the scope and prepare a quotation.
How do I maintain the finish?
Care depends on the installed system and sealer. We provide relevant guidance for your chosen finish, including suitable cleaning products and any future maintenance requirements.
