The Best Microcement Applications for Modern Homes

Microcement is now a popular material in contemporary residential design, and it’s easy to see why — with its seamless finish and versatile applications being two of the main reasons. It achieves a minimalist aesthetic that complements modern briefs while also providing durability and practicality. Whether you're looking to refresh your living space, bathroom, or pool area, microcement can transform almost any surface into a work of art. In this blog, we’ll explore three of our favourite ways to incorporate microcement into your home, showcasing its adaptability across walls, floors, wet areas, and outdoor spaces.

Lounge Room

Microcement is an ideal choice for creating a sleek, contemporary look in the lounge room, offering a seamless, minimalistic aesthetic that perfectly complements modern design. The smooth, continuous surface not only elevates the room’s visual appeal but also enhances the feeling of space, making smaller areas feel larger and more open. Available in a wide range of finishes and tones—from greys to warmer, earthy hues—microcement can be easily customised to suit any color palette, whether you prefer a cool, industrial vibe or a softer, more organic feel. It’s also incredibly durable and easy to maintain, making it an excellent long-term flooring solution for high-traffic areas like the lounge room.

Bathrooms

In the bathroom, microcement shines as a highly practical and stylish solution for creating a cohesive, seamless design. Its ability to be applied to floors, walls, and even wet areas like shower means you can achieve a consistent look across the entire space. The finished surface is waterproof, making it perfect for all wet areas and moisture. Its non-porous surface (when sealed correctly) resists mould and grime buildup, which is crucial in bathrooms. Microcement also offers a range of design possibilities, thanks to the option to create custom colours. And, for those looking to create spa-like comfot, the material can be installed over heated flooring.

Pool Areas

Microcement is an excellent choice for pool areas, both indoors and outdoors, due to its combination of durability and water resistance. Unlike traditional paving, microcement offers a seamless joint-free look that blends beautifully with the natural surroundings of a pool. Its non-slip finish provides a safe yet stylish surface, while its ability to handle constant exposure to moisture ensures that the material will last for years without deteriorating. The option to extend the microcement seamlessly from the poolside into surrounding areas like outdoor kitchens, patios, or gardens creates a unified, flowing design that enhances the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Plus, X-Bond is UV-resistant and flexible enough to expand or contract without cracking during temperature changes. The full package!
