What Is Microcement?
Microcement - sometimes referred to as micro-concrete or micro-topping — is a cement-based coating enhanced with specialised polymers. Applied by hand in thin layers, it creates a seamless, durable surface without adding significant thickness or weight.
Designed to be installed directly over existing substrates, microcement can be applied to concrete, tiles, and other stable surfaces without the need for demolition. This makes it a practical choice for renovation and new-build projects alike.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, microcement is commonly used across floors, walls, ceilings, wet areas, joinery, furniture, facades, and architectural features.
SEMCO Surfaces X-Bond was the first microcement system introduced to the US market. What sets it apart from other microcement products are the benefits outlined below:
-
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.

Why choose X-Bond?
When X-Bond was first developed over 30 years ago, it set a new standard for seamless cement-based surfacing. Since then, microcement has grown in popularity thanks to its balance of visual appeal and real-world performance. Today, it’s widely specified by designers, architects, and builders looking for a flexible alternative to traditional surface finishes.
X-Bond microcement is chosen for projects where versatility, efficiency, and design freedom matter. It’s particularly well suited if:
You want to refresh existing floors, walls, or joinery without removing the current surface
You’re looking for a thinner, lighter alternative to traditional concrete
You want to eliminate grout lines and reduce ongoing maintenance in wet areas like bathrooms
You’re drawn to clean, seamless surfaces with subtle texture and depth
You want a single material that can be used across internal and external applications — from kitchens and bathrooms to outdoor areas
You value greater control over colour and texture than standard tiles or renders allow
X-Bond offers the flexibility designers want, the performance builders rely on, and the seamless finish homeowners love.

-
Yes. Microcement is ideal for New York apartments, lofts, and townhouses because it can be applied directly over existing surfaces without demolition. This makes it especially suitable for renovations where noise, debris, and structural changes need to be kept to a minimum.
-
In many cases, yes. Microcement is lightweight and thin, making it a practical option for older buildings where adding heavy materials may not be suitable. This includes old apartment buildings with rich heritage, or a Hamptons home that’s been in the family for generations. As long as the existing substrate is stable, microcement can be applied successfully.
-
Microcement works well in bathrooms and kitchens due to its seamless, grout-free finish. When correctly installed with our waterproofing membrane and then finished with our sealers, X-Bond provides a water-resistant surface that’s easy to clean and maintain — ideal for high-use wet areas. It doesn’t stop indoors; you can use X-Bond for your pool area, patios, and balconies too.
