Where to Use X-Bond in Commercial Projects

In commercial projects, versatility matters. Materials should balance durability and compliance with design impact and a standout customer experience; that’s exactly where X-Bond Microcement shines.

With its seamless, waterproof finish and tactile yet customizable finish options, X-Bond has been specified in hundreds of commercial fit-outs, from retail rollouts and large scale hospitality renovations to boutique wellness spaces. In this article, we break down the types of commercial projects where X-Bond performs best, and why commercial architects and designers are specifying microcement.

Retail Spaces

From fashion boutiques in shopping malls to luxury car showrooms; retail environments call for designs that are both easy to maintain and brand-aligned. X-Bond’s seamless finish creates an architectural aesthetic while holding up under high foot traffic, and making life easy for commercial cleaning teams. It’s also renovation-friendly, with the ability to be installed directly over existing surfaces like old concrete or tiles. This is a major advantage when remodeling retail spaces quickly and efficiently for short-term tenancies, such as those in shopping malls.

Hospitality Venues (Hotels, Cafés, Restaurants & Bars)

When designing a hospitality venue, a key concern is how to ensure durability and meet safety regulations while also creating the right atmosphere for patrons. Microcement satisfies the need for a beautiful finish that can adapt to all design briefs while handling whatever is thrown at it. Whether you’re in need of slip- and stain-resistant flooring or textural feature walls, X-Bond can do the job.

Offices & Workplace Design

Modern offices are moving away from classic utilitarian aesthetics. Architects are embracing more creative, aesthetic-led approaches to workplace design to produce spaces that not only function well, but also feel good to be in. Employee experience is now at the centre, creating a growing need for tactile materials that support wellbeing and brand identity. X-Bond can be customized across floors, walls, or joinery to achieve a visually rich finish seen everywhere from lobbies and reception spaces to meeting rooms and breakout areas.

Health & Wellness Clinics

Nothing says cleanliness and calm like seamless, wabi-sabi vibes. Check out Sculpt Adelaide, a space centering relaxation and rejuvenation, where X-Bond is featured from floor to ceiling. Our microcement surface possesses a subtle tonal variation that creates a sense of softness, especially as it wraps around curved edges. Of equal importance in a healthcare space is easy cleaning and hygiene, which is why X-Bond was specified in the treatment rooms too. This warm, inviting space is a great example of how clinical spaces can be elevated with beautiful, experiential designs.

Gyms & Fitness Studios

A lot happens in the gym, which can see hundreds if not thousands of visitors a month. X-Bond is tough enough for such a high-impact zone. Sweat, water, and frequent cleaning are no match for hardy microcement surfaces, making for a practical yet elevated choice in fitness environments. In Equinox Dumbo, the entry area, gym flooring, and changerooms all feature X-Bond Polished for an industrial, concrete-inspired look that feels right at home in Brooklyn.

Hotels & Accommodation

Make guests feel welcome while meeting compliance; X-Bond strikes the unique balance between aesthetics, durability, and practicality that hotels require. You can customize surfaces to reflect brand identity, avoid damage from daily wear, and maintain high cleanliness standards. Ensure every visitor leaves feeling like they’ve had a 5-star experience.

Commercial Bathrooms & Amenities

Forget grout lines and stained tiles. X-Bond creates a seamless, waterproof surface ideal for high-traffic bathrooms and changing facilities that offers a more elevated look than standard commercial finishes.

Multi-Unit Developments & Lobby Upgrades

For developers working across large-scale projects like apartment buildings, build-to-rent complexes, or commercial towers, X-Bond provides a versatile, durable finish that can scale. It’s also fast to install and overlays existing surfaces, reducing downtime.

Commercial projects call for finishes that perform as well as they look. Whether you're designing a boutique store, multi-level office, or luxury hotel; X-Bond Microcement adapts to the project. It’s seamless, strong, and seriously versatile. Let’s chat about your next commercial build.
