What Is Microcement?
Microcement (also called micro-topping) is a thin decorative coating made from cement, polymers, fine aggregates and pigments. It is applied by hand in layers 2 to 3 mm thick and sealed, creating a seamless, joint-free surface. Because it is so thin, it can be applied over existing tiles, plaster, concrete or gypsum board without demolition.
