Floors
The Microbond microcement coating is a premium material, particularly for floors, stairs and other mechanically loaded surfaces. As it is a polymer cementitious overlay, the resulting surface is very hard and, at the same time, solid when exposed to pressure. It is, therefore, possible to create a seamless surface without the need for the formation of new expansion joints.
Another advantage is that the resulting thickness is less than 3 mm. Thanks to the final unique sealers, the surfaces are resistant to chemical and mechanical damage, and their maintenance is no different from other interior floorings.

Walls
The Microbond decorative coating can be applied to any wall, indoors or outdoors. Such walls can be, for example, decorative walls in the living room, bedroom, hallway, etc.
Some wall surfaces, such as walls behind the kitchen or bathroom, need an extra protection layer to be completely washable and water-tight. See Sealing of microcement surfaces for such cases.
For most of the wall's decorative overlays, a thorough impregnation is not necessary. In this chapter, we are considering this assumption.

Kitchen
The Microbond microcement coating is the ideal solution for walls behind kitchen sinks (backsplash) and worktops. It forms a homogeneous, non-porous surface and is more hygienic than classic tiles with pores, where mould forms and various impurities accumulate. Microbond in the kitchen is entirely waterproof, fully washable, and resistant to multiple contaminants such as hot oil, thanks to high-quality sealers.
Another advantage is that its whole layer is not thicker than just 2-3 mm. Thanks to the final unique sealers, the surfaces are resistant to chemical and mechanical damage, and their maintenance is easy.

Bathrooms
The Microbond microcement coating is a design and functional solution for walls and floors in bathrooms. Thanks to its seamless surface, your bathroom will remain free of mould and other dirt that sticks to the joints of the tiles.
The final penetrative sealers are so durable that you can safely apply the coating directly to the showers. Thanks to its unique properties, you are not at risk of peeling the overlay due to mechanical damage, as with epoxy coatings.

Furniture
Thanks to its extraordinary adhesion, the Microbond microcement coating can be applied to various surfaces such as wood, plywood, OSB, MDF, HDF, laminate boards, etc. You can use it to create bars, counters, tables or various cabinets. Applying the final penetrative sealers will achieve the required level of protection. If you intend to obtain "concrete" furniture, Microbond is an excellent and practical solution that creates a credible effect while not significantly increasing the furniture's weight.

Exterior
Thanks to its exceptional properties, you can use the Microbond microcement coating even outdoors. You can apply it to stairs, sidewalks, terraces, ramps, walls, columns, various buildings of garden architecture or even swimming pools decking. To obtain a coarser and non-slip surface, you can apply Ercole coating instead of a Microbond overlay.

Swimming pools
On pool floors and walls, you can apply Poseidone. It is a superior product designed for use in swimming pools. Poseidone does not need any sealer, and the pools are easy to maintain and harmless for their users. Surface seamlessness is a design and hygiene solution.
The light shades of the pool coating make the blue-green colour of the water stand out.
You can easily apply Poseidone even to renew old swimming pool surfaces, sauna, steam rooms, and other wet areas. You can choose Ercole, the anti-skid decorative overlay for pool decking and surrounding areas.
