How Topciment microcement can give a waterproof finish to your bathroom — so you don't need tiles

Choosing how to finish the look of your bathroom is no longer just about selecting the right wall and floor tiles as well as your classic white ceramic sanitary ware. 

You can now achieve a painted wall look or a more rustic cement finish to all your surfaces, if you instead choose to add a layer of Topciment microcement. This coating will not only make your bathroom surfaces water-proof and anti-slip but it also offers up a high-quality feel and well as a unique look to your home. 

You can apply microcement not only to your walls, floors and ceilings — but also other surfaces too such as baths, sinks, shower trays and even shelving. And it isn't only bathroom surfaces that you can use microcement on. It can be used as a cladding for anything from swimming pools, to garden terraces, to kitchens or even ultra-contemporary living spaces and stairs.

Multiple finishes with texture and colour choices

Topciment microcement has a full range of colour options covering not only all of the colour palette but also textures, from smooth, natural or rustic to glossy epoxy resin, varnish, natural stone or even a pearlescent shimmering metallic copper or gold.

You can also choose your grain, with larger grains offering a quartz look and smaller grains achieving a contemporary, matt or polished cement finish. It's possible to achieve different decorative techniques with microcement too, from venetian plastering to Tadelakt or Moroccan plastering.

You can take a look at all the colour and texture options available on the Topciment website. It is also worth mentioning that Topciment is ISO certificated meaning its microcement is of the highest-quality in its design, development and manufacture.

Keeps bathrooms mould and bacteria free

Microcement is perfect in areas where hygiene is important, for instance bathrooms and kitchens. This is because it offers up a continuous surface with no fewer nooks, crannies, joints and crevices. This means it is harder for dirt, bacteria and germs to find somewhere to stick but also it makes it easily to scoop them up when cleaning and disinfecting areas.

You can also apply waterproof, antifungal sealant to Topciment microcement to protect your building from damp penetrating through as well as preventing any fungal or mould growth. This waterproof finish also means you can remove the need for tiles in a bathroom, instead opting for a slick, painted wall look instead.

Low-maintenance, versatile and hard-wearing

Microcement not only offers an impressive array of decorative finishes but it is also highly-practical too. 

Topciment microcement can be applied directly over materials such as tiles, plasterboard, marble, terrazzo, saving time and money that would otherwise be spent removing them. Microcement also does not need an expansion gap like plaster would, meaning it can be applied seamlessly to create the look of one continuous coating flowing from one surface to another.

Microcement is light-weight too and only a thin 3mm coating is needed, meaning it does not add to the structural load. Not only that but it is hard-wearing too with Topciment's Sttandard Microdeck, Sttandard Microstone and Evolution Microdeck types being suitable for high-traffic areas such as stairs and hallways in addition to being a practical material for bathrooms.
