Microcement Bathrooms: Advantages, Benefits and Uses
Microcemento bathrooms are a trend in interior design that has gained popularity in recent years due to their versatility, durability, and modern aesthetics. This material, made from a blend of cement, resins, and pigments, is known for being highly resistant and having a seamless, continuous finish, making it an excellent option for wet areas like bathrooms.
Advantages of microcement in bathrooms:
- Modern and minimalist aesthetics: Microcement offers a smooth, uniform, and contemporary look, ideal for those seeking a minimalist style. Its seamless finish creates a sense of continuity, visually expanding spaces and making them appear larger and cleaner.
- Variety of colors and finishes: While gray is the most common color, microcement can be pigmented in a wide range of tones, allowing it to be adapted to any decorative style. There are also different types of finishes: matte, satin, or glossy, providing flexibility in its use.
- Durability and resistance: This material is highly resistant to wear, impacts, and moisture, making it perfect for use in showers, sinks, and bathroom walls. Additionally, with proper maintenance, microcement can remain in excellent condition for many years.
- Waterproof and easy to clean: As a seamless material, it is easy to clean, as there are no gaps where dirt or mold can accumulate. With a proper sealing layer, microcement is completely waterproof, protecting it from moisture.
- Installation over existing surfaces: One of the great advantages of microcement is that it can be applied over tiles, ceramic, or any other surface without needing to remove it, reducing construction time and costs.
Uses in the bathroom:
- Walls and floors: Thanks to its impermeability and moisture resistance, microcement is ideal for covering bathroom walls and floors, offering a continuous finish that adds a sense of spaciousness and modernity.
- Countertops and sinks: Microcement can be molded to any shape, allowing for the creation of custom-designed countertops or sinks, elegantly integrated into the overall bathroom design.
- Showers: When treated with certain finishes, microcement becomes non-slip, making it an excellent choice for shower trays, providing a safe yet stylish surface.
Price of Microcement in Bathrooms
En price of microcement in bathrooms varies depending on several key factors that influence the total project cost. Some of the most important elements to consider are:
- Difficulty and Complexity of the Job: Each bathroom has unique characteristics, such as its size, the condition of the surfaces, and the layout of the space, which can make the work more or less complex. If the bathroom requires additional surface preparation, such as leveling or prior repairs, this could increase the installation cost.
- Quality of Microcement: There are different types of microcement on the market, ranging from more economical options to high-quality products that offer better performance in terms of resistance, durability, and finishes. The choice of microcement type will directly affect the price, as high-end brands typically have a higher cost but provide better long-term results.
- Surfaces to be Covered: Another determining factor is which areas of the bathroom will be covered with microcement. Applying microcement to floors or walls is different from creating more personalized and complex elements such as a shower tray, a bathtub, or even a sink. Flat and large surfaces, like floors and walls, are usually quicker to cover, while areas with curves or more specific details, such as countertops or bathtubs, may require more time and thus increase the price.
