What Is Microcement?
Microcement (also known as micro-concrete or micro-topping) is made of fine-grain cement and adhesive polymers, creating a thin and lightweight yet strong coating that’s hand-applied onto existing surfaces. It can be used to resurface anything from concrete to tiles without requiring the removal of the existing substrate. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, most microcement products can be installed to floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, joinery, wet areas, facades, and more.
SEMCO Surfaces X-Bond was the first microcement on the US market. Compared to other products, it stands out because of the following benefits:
-
Installed as one continuous coating to create a smooth, seamless surface without visible joints, seams, or grout lines.
-
X-Bond is only 1/8” thick, which allows it to be installed over existing surfaces without significantly impacting the site’s dimensions.
-
Even though it’s thin, X-Bond Microcement is incredibly strong. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and vehicle traffic, making it suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.
X-Bond is also very durable; highly resistant to stains, mould, and grime. You won’t find an easier surface to clean and maintain.
-
Due to its advanced flexibility, X-Bond is less prone to cracking than other cement-based materials.
With the addition of advanced molecular bonding technology, X-Bond has a guaranteed resistance to de-lamination.

-
Remodel your old floors, walls or joinery without removal. X-Bond forms a chemical bond with almost any hard material, including concrete, wood, tiles, sheeting and even some plastics.
-
SEMCO Surfaces engineers have perfected a waterproofing membrane for microcement. With the addition of Liquid Membrane and SEMCO sealers, X-Bond Microcement can be made fully waterproof for all wet areas including showers, sinks and pools.

Microcement Applications
From residential renovations to commercial spaces, X-Bond Microcement can be used across a wide range of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Its thin application, seamless finish and ability to resurface suitable existing substrates make it particularly versatile for remodeling projects.
Bathrooms & Showers
Create seamless bathroom surfaces without relying on traditional grout lines. X-Bond Microcement can be used across bathroom floors, walls and shower areas as part of SEMCO's waterproof surfacing system.
Where existing surfaces are suitable, microcement can also provide an alternative to complete demolition during a bathroom remodel.
Floors
X-Bond can be applied across residential and commercial floors to create a continuous, hand-troweled finish. At approximately 1/8 inch thick, it can transform suitable existing surfaces without substantially increasing the finished floor height.
Walls, Joinery & Ceilings
Microcement isn't limited to floors. X-Bond can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces, allowing the same material finish to continue across walls, ceilings, joinery and other architectural features.
Pool Areas
Florida's outdoor living spaces are another natural application for microcement. X-Bond can be used across suitable pool surrounds and other exterior surfaces, while SEMCO systems can also be specified for submerged applications.
The result is a continuous finish that can carry from indoor spaces into surrounding outdoor areas.
Patios & Outdoor Living
X-Bond is suitable for exterior applications, making it an option for patios, outdoor entertaining areas and other exterior surfaces. Its UV-stable properties help the finish maintain its integrity when exposed to sunlight when the complete system is correctly specified and installed.
Why Choose X-Bond Microcement?
When we first created X-Bond 30 years ago, it was the first product of its kind on the market. Microcement has seen a significant rise in demand, due to both its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. This sought-after alternative to traditional flooring and wall materials is specified by designers for its versatility in creating seamless surfaces for a range of residential and commercial applications.
Some reasons why you would choose microcement in your project:
You want to remodel existing floors, walls, or joinery without removing the existing materials.
You are looking for a product that can be applied directly on-top of subsrtates like concrete, tiles, stone and MDF.
You want a thinner, more lightweight, and versatile alternative to concrete.
You’re sick of cleaning the grout in between your bathroom tiles.
You love the minimalist aesthetic of seamless surfaces — but also want a bit of texture.
You want one material that be used for all your internal or external surfacing needs, from walls to floors in the kitchen, bathrooms, and backyard.
You want more freedom to choose color and texture options than with other renders.
Remodel Without Removal
Renovating doesn't always have to mean demolition. X-Bond Microcement can be applied at approximately 1/8 inch thick over a wide range of properly prepared existing substrates without demolition, including:
Tile
Concrete
Compressed sheeting
Plasterboard
Villaboard
MDF
This makes it particularly useful for remodeling projects, where suitable existing floors, walls and other surfaces can be given an entirely new finish without complete demolition and replacement.
By resurfacing rather than automatically removing existing materials, X-Bond can help reduce demolition and material waste while creating a seamless, contemporary finish.
