Material consistency
Walls, floor, fireplace, table and built-ins can all share the same finish for a fully unified room.
Microcement Application
Microcement furniture
Bespoke microcement furniture — tables, benches, reception desks and built-ins finished in the same continuous surface as your walls and floors.
Why choose microcement for furniture
Microcement isn't limited to walls and floors. Apply it to a substrate (typically marine ply or MDF), and you can finish dining tables, benches, reception desks, fireplaces, and built-in seating in the same continuous surface as the rest of the space.
For interior designers and architects, this opens up a level of material consistency that's difficult to achieve with traditional finishes — every visible surface in a room can be the same monolithic plane, with no transitions between wall, floor, and bespoke joinery.
Key benefits

Three signature finishes
All three finishes are available in any of our 40+ standard colours. Choose by tactility — smooth for gallery-like calm, stucco for handcrafted warmth, coarse for industrial character.
Smooth
The most refined of the three styles. Minimal visible trowel marks for a near-uniform appearance — best for contemporary, minimalist interiors.
Stucco effect
Visible hand-troweled texture with subtle cloud-like tonal variations. The classic Venetian plaster character — depth without busy pattern.
Coarse effect
Pronounced grain and tactile surface texture. The most expressive finish — best for industrial, rustic or characterful interiors.
Our installation process
From first site visit to final sealed surface, every project follows the same four-stage process. Exact timelines depend on the size of the area and substrate condition — we'll confirm a schedule with your quote.
- 01 Free
Site visit & quote
Free in-person consultation across London & Surrey. We assess the substrate, talk through colour and finish options, and provide a fixed-price quote.
- 02
Surface preparation
Existing substrate cleaned, repaired, primed and reinforced with fibreglass mesh where required. The hidden step that decides everything.
- 03
Microcement application
Two base coats and two finish coats applied by hand at ~2–3mm total thickness. Each layer is troweled and sanded to your chosen texture.
- 04
Sealing & protection
Pre-sealer and topsealer applied to lock in colour and create a fully washable, water-resistant surface. Cure time 24–48 hours before normal use.

Microcement furniture — FAQ
Can my existing dining table be refinished in microcement?
Yes, provided it's structurally sound. We prepare the existing top with a substrate layer, apply the standard microcement coats, and seal with a food-safe top sealer rated for table use.
Is the surface food-safe?
Yes — we use a food-contact-rated top sealer for tables and counters. The surface is non-porous and easy to wipe clean after meals.
Will it scratch from cutlery or plates?
Sealed microcement is scratch-resistant from normal cutlery and plate use. It's not as hard as quartz or stone — for very heavy commercial use a thicker top sealer can be specified.
Can it match the floor or walls exactly?
Yes — that's the most common reason designers specify it. Furniture is finished in the same colour and finish as the surrounding microcement walls or floors for a fully unified look.
Is it suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, with the outdoor formulation and UV-stable pigments. Garden tables, outdoor benches, and BBQ surrounds are all common applications.
