02 — WHERE MICROCEMENT BELONGS
Microcement floors, walls & beyond.
Microcement brings visual continuity to spaces that would otherwise be divided by different finishes. Explore its possibilities across living areas, bathrooms, kitchens and architectural details, with a system specified for each setting.
Bathrooms &
showers
A quieter expression of the everyday.
Microcement bathroom floors and walls create a continuous backdrop for stone, timber and carefully chosen fixtures. In shower areas, the finish must form part of a correctly specified wet-area system.
DEQORIA considers substrate stability, waterproofing, drainage, junctions and surface protection together. The result begins with preparation, long before the final colour is applied.
DISCUSS YOUR BATHROOMKitchens
Continuity for the heart of the home.
Microcement flooring can connect a kitchen with adjoining dining and living spaces, while decorative walls bring depth to a restrained palette.
We select the system and protective finish around daily use, cleaning and exposure. Worktops and splashbacks require their own assessment of heat, staining and maintenance requirements.
DISCUSS YOUR KITCHENLiving spaces
A foundation for everything around it.
Seamless microcement floors allow furniture, natural light and architectural form to take the lead. On walls, subtle variation brings texture without overwhelming the room.
From an open-plan coastal residence to an intimate hospitality interior, DEQORIA considers colour, surface movement and transitions as one composition.
DISCUSS YOUR LIVING SPACEStairs
One material language, across every level.
Microcement can visually connect treads, risers, landings and adjoining walls. Careful detailing gives these transitions their clarity.
DEQORIA assesses the existing construction, edge geometry and expected foot traffic before specifying the application and finish.
DISCUSS YOUR STAIRCASEOutdoors & pools
A seamless expression, beyond the waterline.
DEQORIA applies microcement finishes to interior swimming pool walls and floors, as well as pool surrounds, terraces and outdoor architectural surfaces.
Using application-specific microcement systems, we create continuous handcrafted finishes that connect the pool with its surrounding architecture. Pool interiors require a compatible substrate, appropriate waterproofing and a system suitable for permanent water immersion.

05 — BEAUTY BUILT TO PERFORM
▱ Substrate preparation◇ Wear resistance◌ Wet-area systems♧ VOC-free options✦ Technical care
Considered beneath the surface.
A refined finish depends on the layers you do not see. DEQORIA gives preparation, system selection and protective detailing the same attention as colour and texture.
Substrate & preparation +
Microcement can be applied over compatible existing surfaces, including ceramic and porcelain tile, when the supporting construction is stable and properly prepared. Where individual tiles are loose, cracked or damaged, localized repairs may allow the existing finish to be preserved. Active structural movement or underlying moisture problems must be addressed before application. DEQORIA provides technical guidance and, upon request, can carry out surface preparation or localized repairs, depending on the agreed scope of work.
Wet areas & surface protection +
Bathrooms, showers and other exposed areas require an appropriate system, including waterproofing where needed. Protective finishes and slip-resistance requirements are considered for the specific use.
Care & maintenance +
Microcement should be maintained according to the selected system and protective finish. We explain suitable cleaning methods, precautions and any recommended maintenance so you can care for the surface with confidence.
MATERIAL CHOICES · SUSTAINABILITY
Beautiful spaces.
Considered materials.
The quality of an interior is also shaped by the materials within it.
Where suitable for the project, DEQORIA can specify TOPCRET EcoCemento® for walls and ceilings and Baxab®Eco for floors. TOPCRET describes these products as water-based and VOC-free and publishes Environmental Product Declarations to support informed material selection.
For architects and project teams pursuing LEED, WELL or BREEAM objectives, selected products may contribute to relevant material requirements, subject to the applicable assessment criteria and supporting documentation. The contribution depends on the specified system and the project as a whole.
Our approach also considers the existing space. Where the substrate is suitable, an overlay application may allow existing finishes to remain, reducing the need for removal. We assess that possibility individually, alongside preparation, durability and maintenance.
Material properties and environmental documentation are product-specific. Primers, protective coatings and other components must also be considered when evaluating the complete installation.

Your microcement questions
How do I choose a microcement expert? +
Ask how the installer assesses the substrate, selects the complete system and plans preparation, junctions and protective finishes. Discuss comparable projects, the intended use of the space and aftercare. DEQORIA reviews these details with clients in Orange County, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles before recommending a project-specific approach.
Does DEQORIA offer microcement training through the Academy? +
The DEQORIA Microcement Expert Academy focuses on the knowledge and craft behind microcement application. Contact us about training opportunities, programme content and suitability for your experience. Our team can provide details of upcoming availability.
What is microcement? +
Microcement is a thin decorative coating applied in layers to create a continuous finish. Depending on the specified system, it can be used on floors, walls and other architectural surfaces. Its appearance is influenced by colour, texture and application technique.
Can microcement be installed over existing tile? +
Yes. Microcement can often be applied over stable, properly prepared ceramic or porcelain tile without removing the existing finish. Even when individual tiles are loose or damaged, localized repairs may make an overlay possible. DEQORIA offers technical guidance and can undertake preparation or repairs upon request, where appropriate and included in the agreed scope of work. This approach can reduce demolition, construction debris and disruption during renovation.
Can microcement be applied inside swimming pools? +
Yes. DEQORIA offers microcement application for the interior walls and floors of swimming pools, creating continuous decorative finishes without conventional tile joints. Application requires a compatible substrate, appropriate waterproofing and a microcement system specifically designed for permanent water immersion.
Can microcement be installed around swimming pools? +
Yes. Suitable exterior microcement systems can be applied to pool decks, terraces and surrounding architectural surfaces. The selected system must account for sunlight, water exposure, drainage, traffic and slip-resistance requirements.
Why choose DEQORIA for microcement in California? +
DEQORIA brings European experience and craftsmanship to Southern California. Our approach combines European craftsmanship, specialist application techniques, refined material selection and a deep appreciation for architectural detail. From initial design considerations to the final texture, DEQORIA focuses on thoughtful execution and surfaces that complement the character of each space.
Is microcement suitable for bathrooms and showers? +
An appropriate microcement system can be used in bathrooms and showers when the complete wet-area construction is correctly specified. Waterproofing, drainage, junctions and protective finishes must be considered together; the decorative coating alone does not replace those requirements.
How much does microcement installation cost per square foot? +
The cost depends on the condition of the substrate, preparation, total area, chosen system and complexity of the details. Stairs, shower areas and extensive edge work require a different assessment from an open floor. DEQORIA provides a project-specific quotation after reviewing the space and scope.
How does microcement differ from polished concrete? +
Microcement is an applied coating, while polished concrete is typically created by mechanically grinding and polishing a concrete surface. They can achieve related visual effects, but their construction, preparation and suitability for an existing space differ.
How do I maintain a microcement finish? +
Follow the care guidance for the installed system and protective coating. Use suitable cleaning products, avoid abrasive cleaning methods and address spills promptly. Maintenance requirements depend on use, exposure and the selected finish.
Can microcement support a sustainable building project? +
Selected systems offer environmental and emissions documentation that can support a project’s material assessment. Eligibility for particular LEED, WELL or BREEAM requirements depends on the product, complete installation and applicable project criteria. No material alone guarantees building certification.
