Floors that read as one continuous surface.
A hand‑trowelled microcement floor flows from room to room without thresholds, joints, grout lines or visible expansion gaps. The result is a quieter, more architectural floor than any tile, plank or sheet product can deliver.
Microcement floors are a 2–3mm continuous mineral coating, hand‑trowelled over concrete, screed, timber or existing tile to create a seamless, joint‑free floor. Hand‑applied by Cornwall Microcement across Cornwall and the South West.
A microcement floor is the answer when you want continuity. Open‑plan kitchens that flow into the snug, hallways that lead straight into a bootroom, garden rooms that step out onto a polished concrete terrace — microcement runs through them all without a single break in surface.
Built on a serious substrate prep
Most failed microcement installations fail in the substrate, not the finish. Cornwall Microcement begins every floor with moisture readings, primer selection and (where required) self‑levelling compound, before bonding a fibreglass mesh into the first base coat. That mesh is what stops microthermal and structural movement reading back through the finish as hairlines.
Six coats over five days
Two structural base coats, two pigmented finish coats hand‑trowelled in opposite directions for depth, and two coats of two‑component polyurethane seal. Each layer is sanded back before the next. The room is workable on day 7, fully cured at 28 days.
Colour, finish and feel
CimentArt offers more than thirty colours, from bone whites through warm taupes to deep ink. Each can be finished in matte, satin or low‑gloss. Sample panels are produced in the room itself so colour is judged under the actual light it will live in.
The floor is the single largest plane in any room. Get it right and everything sitting on it looks better.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Can microcement go over my existing tile floor?+
In most cases yes — the tiles must be sound, well‑bonded and degreased. Cornwall Microcement will assess on a site visit. Application over tile avoids the cost, dust and disruption of lifting.
Does it work with underfloor heating?+
Yes. The CimentArt system is fully UFH‑compatible. We commission the heating gradually after cure to bed the floor in.
Will it crack?+
Properly installed — with substrate prep, primer, mesh, and the correct number of base coats — no. Cracks in microcement floors almost always trace back to substrate movement or a missed mesh layer.
How do I clean it?+
Soft cloth, warm water, pH‑neutral cleaner. No bleach, no aggressive solvents. Every client receives a written care guide on handover.
