What Is Microcement Flooring?
Microcement flooring is made of a combination of cement, sand, marble powder, and other additives. As an application over existing floors or surfaces, it can be applied in thicknesses from 1mm to 3mm.
It can be applied over concrete floors, wood floors, tiles, mosaic floors, vinyl floors etc., with little or no preparation required. Different colour options are available for this versatile material.
