What Is Microcement?
Microcement is a multi-component mineral coating — just 2 to 3 millimetres thick — applied by hand directly over your existing surfaces. Tiles stay in place. Concrete stays in place. Plaster stays in place. The coating bonds to the substrate, cures into a hardened mineral surface, and produces a continuous finish with zero grout lines and zero seams. Because it is applied in a fluid state by hand, it follows any geometry — curved walls, stair nosings, integrated sinks, arched openings — that rigid materials like tile or stone cannot cover without visible joints.
What determines whether a microcement installation performs for twenty years or fails within one has nothing to do with the brand of product used. It comes down to whether the substrate was correctly assessed before installation began. Moisture trapped beneath a coated floor pushes the coating off from below. A hollow tile transfers as a crack initiation point directly through to the new surface. An active structural crack that was not treated will reflect through any 3mm coating applied above it. This is why every Floroz project begins with a full substrate audit — moisture readings, tap-testing, and crack classification — before any material is ordered or any price is confirmed.
Because every surface environment places different demands on the system — a bathroom faces daily moisture and steam, an outdoor terrace faces 65°C heat and UV cycling, a staircase takes concentrated point-load impact at every nosing edge — the preparation sequence, sealer specification, and installation method differ for each application. The guides below cover each surface type in full technical detail.
Specified for Saudi Arabia — Not Adapted From Somewhere Else
Standard European microcement sealers soften above 50°C. Outdoor surfaces in Saudi Arabia reach 65°C in direct summer sun. Every specification we write accounts for this from the first line.

General Questions About Microcement
Polished concrete is a structural slab — minimum 100mm thick — that is ground and chemically densified in place. It cannot be applied over existing surfaces and it cannot go on walls, stairs, or any vertical surface. Microcement is a 3mm engineered coating applied by hand over almost any stable substrate without demolition. Both are cement-based materials but they are not competing products — they solve completely different problems. Polished concrete is a poured structural decision made at the construction stage. Microcement is a renovation decision made at any stage.
A substrate audit is the on-site assessment of your existing surface before any material is specified or ordered. It covers three things: moisture readings at multiple points across the surface, a tap-test of every tile or section to identify hollow spots and failed adhesive, and crack mapping to classify any existing cracks as active or settled. These three checks determine what preparation the surface actually needs — and whether a vapor barrier, additional primer coats, or structural crack treatment are required before the microcement system can be installed. We do not issue a price or specification without completing this assessment first. It is the reason our installations hold and others fail.
Start with the surface you want to transform. If it is a floor, read the flooring guide. If it is a shower or wet room, read the bathroom guide. The reason we separate them is that each environment places genuinely different demands on the system: a bathroom requires a waterproof liquid membrane beneath the coating that an outdoor terrace does not need. An outdoor surface requires a UV-stable aliphatic sealer rated for 65°C+ that an interior wall does not require. A staircase requires fibreglass mesh reinforcement at every nosing edge that a kitchen countertop does not. The guides are separated because the systems are different — not because the material is different.
Yes. We carry out projects across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Mecca, Medina, Tabuk, and all major cities. Substrate assessment can begin with a photo sent via WhatsApp — you do not need to arrange a site visit to receive an initial assessment and cost estimate. Site visits for larger or complex projects are scheduled based on your location.
Every Floroz microcement installation carries a 3-year written warranty on bond integrity and surface performance — covering peeling, delamination, blistering, and sealer failure under normal use conditions. The warranty applies to the installed system as a whole: the substrate preparation, the microcement layers, and the sealer coat. It does not cover surface damage from impact, abrasive cleaning products, or incorrect maintenance. Warranty documentation is issued in writing before the project begins — not after.
Not Sure Which Application Fits Your Surface?
Send us a photo of the surface and describe the environment — floor, wall, bathroom, outdoor, or something else. We will confirm whether microcement is the correct specification for that surface, identify what preparation it needs, and give you a project estimate before any site visit is required.
