X-Bond Microcement New Zealand
Seamless Overlays Microcement Suppliers Since 1999
COVER IT WITH X-BOND
A world-first microcement.
Since 1999, Seamless Overlays has been the exclusive supplier of X-Bond to applicators around Australia — now expanding the network to New Zealand. With a rich history and innovative formula, X-Bond remains the go-to choice for creating seamless, durable surfaces on floors, walls, and joinery. From residential builds to large-scale commercial projects, it’s been specified by thousands of architects, designers, builders and homeowners.
What is Microcement?
Microcement, also known as micro-concrete or micro-topping, is a blend of fine-grain cementitious materials and adhesive polymers that forms a thin yet highly durable coating. Hand-applied over existing surfaces, it offers a seamless way to transform materials such as concrete, tiles, and more — without the need for demolition. Versatile and hardwearing, microcement is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including floors, walls, ceilings, joinery, furniture, wet areas, facades, and beyond.
There are many different microcement products; when we started supplying it in 1999, X-Bond was the first microcement on the market. Its characteristics include an unmatched 25+ year history, superior strength, adhesion, and flexibility across a wide range of applications.
-
Applied as a continuous coating, X-Bond creates a perfectly smooth, uninterrupted surface — free from joints, seams, or grout lines.
-
At just 2-3mm thick, X-Bond can be applied directly over existing surfaces without altering substrate height, weight, or site dimensions.
-
Despite its minimal thickness, X-Bond Microcement offers exceptional strength and durability. It’s engineered to withstand heavy traffic, making it ideal for high-use residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
-
The sealed surface resists stains, mould, and grime, ensuring a long-lasting finish that’s easy to clean and maintain.
-
Thanks to its advanced formulation, X-Bond provides superior flexibility compared to traditional cement-based materials. When properly prepared and installed, it resists cracking and de-lamination, ensuring a stable finish over time.
-
Transform floors, walls, or joinery without removal. X-Bond chemically bonds to almost any hard surface — including concrete, tiles, wood, sheeting, and even certain plastics — allowing for quick, demo-free renovations.
-
With a specially engineered waterproofing system, X-Bond Microcement can be made fully waterproof for wet areas such as showers, sinks, and external flooring. When combined with advanced sealers, it forms a robust barrier against water penetration.

Become An X-Bond Applicator
We’re proud to be expanding our installer network in New Zealand. Interested applicators are invited to complete our one-day, hands-on product training at our Melbourne facility.
Designed for renderers, other surfacers, and tradespeople who want to expand into a new microcement product, the training takes you through the X-Bond system from preparation through to application and finishing. You’ll work with the product yourself, learn the correct techniques and get practical guidance directly from our team.
We know it’s a bit further to travel from New Zealand, but the support doesn’t stop when the training day ends. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll head home with the practical knowledge to begin offering X-Bond to your own clients, along with access to our B2B portal, ongoing technical support and product supply.
As you build experience with the system, our team is there to support you with product and project questions, helping you confidently add X-Bond Microcement to your existing service offering and grow your business in New Zealand.
We also offer the option to purchase materials directly from our Trade Access portal — recommended for experienced renderers only.

Simply put, it delivers the perfect balance of modern design appeal and practical performance.
