Durable and unique projects
There are many decoration projects in microcement in London that take advantage of the qualities of this material in the execution of renovations in interior and exterior areas.

Microcement is mainly used to cover walls and floors, thanks to the fact that it has components that prevent it from cracking, unlike pure concrete. The resins and additives that are added to the cement allow it to cover large surface areas without the need for joints or separators.
It is even perfect for use as a countertop in bathrooms and kitchens, thanks to the fact that it creates impermeable and totally hygienic surfaces. It can even cover swimming pools and bathtubs. Outdoors, it offers an ideal covering for stairs, planters, benches and outdoor furniture.
