Are you looking for an ultra-modern, versatile surface for your home, office or retail store?

Ideal Work presents Microtopping®, a microcement surface that provides great custom possibilities through a wide choice of colours, textures, design options and finishes.

Microtopping® is an excellent solution for floors, walls and even articles of furniture; it suits any environment and is particularly recommended for those who seek a comfortable space in addition to perfection in every detail.

 

Microcement: what it is and where to apply it

 

Microcement is the latest original option available to the construction sector. Microtopping® is an ultra-thin finish (only 3 millimetres thick) obtained through a formulation of cement-based materials mixed with liquid polymers. Microtopping® is an Ideal Work solution designed to cover floors, walls, columns, countertops and other internal or external furnishing elements.

Microtopping® can be applied directly onto existing surfaces without them being removed. As a result, costs and application times are reduced.

 

Not only does Ideal Work Microtopping® offer great custom possibilities in terms of appearance, but it also ensures easy maintenance, high resistance to foot traffic and heavy loads as well as a safe, slip and fall-resistant performance.

For these reasons, microcement is particularly suitable to cover bathroom floors and walls, reducing the likelihood of unpleasant accidents whilst also providing a beautiful and safe environment.

Microtopping perfectly complements other materials such as wood, concrete, ceramics and much more, creating interesting and beautiful contrasting effects. In addition, microcement provides a seamless surface; the absence of joints eliminates the problem of keeping grout lines clean and prevents the interruption of the surface’s uniform appearance.

 

Microcement colours and useful tips

 

Now that we have presented microcement’s technical features, it is time to talk about its versatility and custom possibilities. Microcement colours span from warm shades such as Rotto Marrone and Tabacco, through neutral ones like white and sand and finally to cool colours such as silver grey and sky blue.

Colour, texture and finish are chosen depending on the desired end result. In a short time, you can obtain a surface for floors and walls that is completely custom made according to your project: the intensity of each colour can vary on a scale from neutral to vibrant. Your finish can be made ad hoc by choosing from gloss, acid-stain and cloud effects or by adding veining or custom decorative elements.

 

What colour suits you best?

 

Depending on your personal taste and preference, our experts will help you find the best solution for your needs. If your furniture is dark coloured, microcement in a light or neutral shade is advised to enliven the space and make every element in it stand out.

If you prefer a uniform, homogeneous style, you can opt for microcement in a similar shade to that of the furniture. The material difference, compensated by tone-on-tone colours, will give the space harmony and a soothing appearance.

 

Here are some projects where different colour combinations of Microtopping® microcement were carried out:

 

– Entete Cafè: in this project, microcement’s neutral shades were selected to perfectly match the armchairs’ wooden and fabric details. In addition, the floor and walls create a charming contrast with the windows and counter’s glass as well as with the metallic appearance of appliances.

 

 

– Private villa in Antwerp: this private residence was covered in Microtopping®, which gave the entire space new light and beauty. This is an excellent example of how microcement’s colours and textures can be customised and combined in the most diverse ways, spanning from a smooth, minimalist style to a rougher, rustic effect.

 

 

– Microtopping® reception counter: this project proves microcement’s versatility not only onto floors and walls but also columns, pieces of furniture and, in this case, bar or reception counters. Through its dark grey shade and unique texture, this counter became a centrepiece, yet works perfectly alongside the light wood decor of the surrounding environment.
