Guide to Using Microcement in Wetrooms and Bathrooms

What is Microcement?
Micro Cement is a specialised cement mixed with polymers, aggregates, additives and pigments, it is available in a wide range of decorative colours and finishes, can be applied onto almost any surface and is approximately 3mm thick.

Is Microcement Suitable for use in a Wetroom or Bathroom?
Yes! Microcement is an ideal finish to use in your wetroom or bathroom. It is durable, waterproof, low maintenance, easy to clean, non-slip and resistant to humidity, thanks to these properties it can be applied to both the walls and the floors.

Do you need to Tank a Wetroom if I am using Microcement?
Most micro cement manufacturers specify a two part product made specifically for wet room applications, these are completely impervious to water, therefore removing the need to tank.

Not all wetroom systems are suitable for use with microcement.

For instance, we do not recommend using foam-cored or XPS lightweight wetroom trays or boards when installing microcement on floors. These systems lack the structural integrity required to support microcement, which is a very thin 3mm surface layer.

With the growing popularity of microcement, we've developed a range of products specifically tailored for this application. Our Maxxus wetroom trays are solid, structural, and fully load-bearing—providing the essential support that a microcement floor requires. Additionally, our drain grids are designed to accommodate the thin 3mm microcement finish, ensuring a seamless and reliable installation.
Our complete kits for microcement floors can be found here.
