What is Microcement for Walls?
Microcement is a thin decorative coating made from cement, water-based resins, and mineral pigments. It’s applied in ultra-fine layers (typically 2–3mm thick) to create seamless, tactile surfaces with a modern, concrete-inspired finish. Unlike typical cement screed or paint, microcement brings a polished, handcrafted aesthetic — perfect for contemporary Singapore interiors.
Why Choose Microcement for Walls?
Microcement offers a sleek, continuous surface with no visible joints, giving walls a raw and refined texture. It’s water-resistant, mould-resistant, and suitable for humid Singapore conditions. Designers and homeowners love it for its versatility — you can choose from matte, satin, or gloss finishes in natural tones. It delivers a minimalist, industrial, or Japandi look without the hassle of hacking.
How is Microcement Applied on Walls?
Installing microcement involves surface preparation, priming, layering, and sealing. The wall must be smooth and dry — usually cement, plaster, or skim-coated surfaces work best. Our team applies 2–3 layers of microcement using a trowel, followed by sanding and sealing to protect the finish from moisture and stains. The process takes skill and is usually completed within 3–4 days for most wall areas.
Where is Microcement Best Used?
Microcement walls are ideal for:
• Feature walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways
• Bathrooms and wet areas (when sealed properly)
• Commercial interiors like cafes, salons, or showrooms
• Modern condos and landed homes going for a clean, architectural look
Maintenance & Care
• Clean with a soft cloth and pH-neutral cleaner
• Avoid acidic or abrasive chemicals
• Resealing may be required every few years for high-moisture areas
• Avoid dragging furniture or sharp tools along the surface
