It’s more than just a surface; it’s a way to create genuinely unique, modern spaces, carefully applied by our skilled team right here in Pakistan. Whether you’re updating your family home in Lahore, fitting out a stylish shop in Karachi, or planning a new office in Islamabad, Microcement delivers great style and lasting quality.
Understanding Microcement: What Makes It Special?
So, what exactly is this versatile material? Microcement is a special cement-based coating mixed with polymers, fine aggregates, and colour pigments.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The Mix: It’s carefully formulated for strength, a bit of flexibility, and excellent bonding.
- How It’s Done: It’s applied by hand with trowels in several thin layers (usually just 2-3mm thick in total). This skilled hand-application means no two surfaces are exactly alike.
- Sticks to (Almost) Anything: It bonds incredibly well to most sound surfaces – including existing tiles, concrete, plasterboard, and more.
- The Final Touch: We finish it with high-quality sealers (in matte, satin, or gloss) to protect the surface, make it water-resistant, and give it extra durability.
It’s this blend of quality materials and careful hand-application that results in a finish that looks refined and stands up to daily life.
