Texture and sample
A sample helps define colour and movement. A larger plane remains a hand-applied surface with its own scale.

Microcement / walls
Light is part of the surface.
On a wall, hand application appears together with the light. We therefore discuss more than colour: texture, corners, niches and junctions with neighbouring materials all shape the result.
Send wall photosSurface in light
The same wall changes with the viewing angle.
Light does not merely present the wall. It helps create it.
We confirm the scope for the specific project.
The wall from the doorway and close up
Colour is only the beginning of the conversation.
The same wall can appear quiet from the entrance and reveal the movement of the tool at close range. We agree a direction rather than promise a mechanically identical pattern.
Bathroom and kitchen
In kitchens and wet areas, the scope depends on the specific zone, substrate and agreed protection.
Edges and junctions
We agree terminations, corners and connections to fittings before applying the decorative surface.
Before we confirm the scope
What do we assess?
Photos are enough to begin. If they do not show the condition of the surface, we will explain what further verification is needed.
Substrate
We assess the existing layer, its stability, absorbency, flatness and visible damage.
Direction of light
Daylight and artificial lighting reveal texture differently, so both matter before the visual direction is chosen.
Corners and niches
Edges, built-ins and recesses affect the rhythm of the work and how the surface terminates.
Material junctions
A transition to timber, glass, stone or metal needs to be resolved before work begins rather than concealed at the last minute.
Surface in light
The wall looks different as you move through the room.
A changing viewpoint reveals tonal transitions and the relationship between the surface and light. This is a completed interior, not a texture simulation.
See the full processHow the collaboration works
From defining the light and details to handover.
The visual direction, corners and junctions are agreed before the hand-applied finish covers the full wall.
See the full processInitial review
You send photos, approximate area, location, substrate information and preferred timing.
Reviewing the conditions
We review visible risks and decide whether further information or a site visit is needed.
Application
We complete the system stages and check the agreed critical details.
Handover and care
We complete the agreed work and provide information on correct use and care.
Project-specific quote
What changes the scope of a wall?
Area alone does not show the condition of the substrate, the number of details or the organisation required on site.

- number of corners and niches
- junctions with other materials
- height and working access
No shortcuts
Frequently asked questions.
Can microcement be applied to any wall?
Suitability depends on more than the substrate name. Stability, flatness, existing layers and how the room will be used all matter.
Will the effect be identical to the sample?
A sample defines the direction, but a larger wall responds to scale and light. Natural tonal movement is part of the hand-applied finish.
Can microcement be used in a kitchen?
We assess the exact location, substrate, contact with water and expected cleaning before confirming the scope.
How are corners treated?
The detail depends on geometry, substrate and the agreed effect. Corners are included in the scope before work begins.
What should I send for the first assessment?
Send photographs of the whole wall, its light and difficult details, approximate area, substrate information, location and preferred timing.
Initial assessment
Show us the wall.
From photos and a short description, we will check whether we have enough to prepare a quote or need more information.
Enough to get started
- the whole wall in daylight
- close views of uneven areas and cracks
- corners, niches and terminations
- a plan or visualisation, if available
