Glürex Microcement

A continuous mineral finish for walls, floors and wet rooms.

Two to three millimetres of cement-based coating applied over existing tiles, screed or plasterboard. No joints, no demolition, and a surface that can be matched to the architecture rather than to a tile catalogue.

Microcement surface in a contemporary interior

2–3 mm build-up

Thin enough to keep existing door heights and thresholds.

Over existing surfaces

Applied over stable tiles, screed, plasterboard and concrete.

Sealed for wet areas

Bathrooms and shower walls with the correct sealer build-up.

Matte to satin

Sheen chosen with the sealer, not with the base coating.

Applications

Where microcement is used

The build-up

Four layers, two to three millimetres

01

Primer

Adhesion layer selected for the substrate — tile, screed or plasterboard.

02

Base coats

Two coarse coats with mesh reinforcement over joints and movement-prone areas.

03

Finish coats

Two fine coats trowelled to the chosen texture and colour.

04

Sealer

Two to three sealer coats set the sheen and the water and stain resistance.

FAQ

Microcement questions

Can microcement go over existing tiles?+

Usually yes, provided the tiles are sound, well bonded and correctly primed. Hollow or moving tiles are removed or re-fixed first, and joints are reinforced with mesh in the base coats.

Is it suitable for bathrooms and showers?+

Yes, with the wet-area build-up: waterproofing beneath the coating and an additional sealer coat above it. The waterproofing layer, not the microcement, keeps the water out.

How long before the surface can be used?+

Light foot traffic is normally possible a day after the last sealer coat, with full chemical resistance developing over the following week. The applicator confirms the schedule for your conditions.
