Microcement for hotels, restaurants and retail — a specifier's guide
Why architects and interior designers spec microcement for hospitality. Programme, durability, fire ratings and how to brief it.
By Jonathan Heywood · 29 June 2025
The commercial case for microcement is operational as much as aesthetic. A boutique hotel can re-floor a corridor between Sunday and Wednesday. A restaurant can re-skin its bar wall over a single closure. Tile cannot do that.
Where it's specified
- Hotel bathrooms — consistency at scale, no grout
- Restaurant floors and bar fronts — sculptural, hard-wearing
- Boutique retail — wraps shop-fit joinery as one piece
- Spas and wellness — fully waterproof, warm underfoot
- Galleries and museums — quiet, archival, dust-free
Compliance
With the correct CimentArt system, microcement meets Euroclass Bfl-s1 fire rating, slip standards to PTV ≥ 36, and food-contact certification for back-of-house front zones. We provide full spec documents on request.
