X-Bond Hybrid Microcement Finish

JUMP TO COLOURS

X-Bond Hybrid is a seamless microcement finish applied to surfaces across floors, walls, ceilings, bathrooms and joinery.

Hand-trowelled and lightly sanded during application, X-Bond Hybrid delivers a smooth monolithic aesthetic with cloud-like markings, tonal variation and sleek texture. The result is a contemporary architectural finish that combines the appearance of polished concrete and plasters with the versatility, lightweight construction, and outstanding durability of microcement.

Applied at only 2–3mm thick, X-Bond Hybrid can be installed over a wide range of existing substrates without the need for major demolition.

SUITABLE FOR:

✓ Internal Floors
✓ Walls (Internal & External)
✓ Ceilings
✓ Joinery
✓ Bathrooms, showers and wet areas

APPEARANCE

Colour Options

As X-Bond is a hand-applied product, colour variations and visible trowel marks are a natural characteristic of the finish which may not be apparent in colour swatches or samples. Each installer has a different trowel hand, and it’s important to receive control samples from the installer you decide to go with prior to application. Please note: colours look different on every screen.

The Benefits of X-Bond Hybrid

X-Bond Hybrid creates a chemical bond at the molecular level, allowing it to adhere to almost any stable substrate. This innovative technology makes it possible to Remodel Without Removal™.

Applied at only 2–3mm thick, X-Bond Hybrid can be installed directly over a wide range of substrates including concrete, tiles, compressed sheeting, plasterboard, Villaboard, MDF and other prepared surfaces.

The result is a seamless, architectural finish that combines the refined appearance of polished concrete and plaster with the versatility and performance of advanced microcement technology.

✓ Suitable for floors, walls, joinery, showers, baths, basins, saunas and steam rooms
✓ Suitable for internal and external applications
✓ Quicker installation time compared to all other microcements
✓ Applied at a minimal thickness of 2-3mm ✓ Infinite colour possibilities
✓ Suitable for vehicle traffic
✓ Continuous surface without grout lines ✓ Easy to maintain
✓ No delamination
✓ UV Stable & waterproof
✓ 10 Year Product Warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. When installed over our compliant waterproofing system Liquid Membrane, X-Bond Hybrid is CodeMark Certified and suitable for bathrooms, showers and other wet areas.
Yes, existing tiles can be resurfaced using X-Bond Hybrids without needing demolition. Learn more about tile resurfacing.
X-Bond Hybrid can be mixed with a non-slip additive to achieve a P4 slip resistance for internal flooring.
Yes. Because X-Bond Hybrid is hand-trowelled, every installation features unique movement, tonal variation and texture characteristics. Applicators will aim to achieve a finish as close as possible to your approved samples; for this reason, we always recommend requesting larger surface samples viewed within the lighting conditions of your space.

Unlike polished concrete slabs, X-Bond Hybrid is lightweight, applied over existing substrates and capable of continuing seamlessly across multiple surfaces. Key differences include:
- Thickness & Weight: Polished concrete typically requires a structural concrete slab, while X-Bond Hybrid is applied at only 2–3mm thick over existing surfaces. This makes Hybrid ideal for renovations, upper levels and lightweight construction.
- Faster Renovation Process: Because existing tiles and substrates can often remain in place, X-Bond Hybrid significantly reduces demolition time and disruption during renovation projects.
- Reduced Risk Of Cracking: Traditional concrete slabs may develop structural cracking over time. X-Bond Hybrid uses flexible overlay systems designed to minimise reflective cracking when correctly installed.
- Seamless Across Multiple Surfaces: Unlike polished concrete slabs, X-Bond Hybrid can continue seamlessly from floors to walls, ceilings and joinery to create a fully integrated architectural finish.
X-Bond Hybrid is typically applied at approximately 2–3mm thick, so it has minimal impact on the height or weight of underlying structures.
All substrates require correct preparation. When installed according to specification, X-Bond systems are designed to minimise cracking from natural surface settlement, with the addition of polymers in the formula for enhanced flexibility.
