Material overview
Most requested furniture applications
Select after confirming substrate, fire requirement, cleaning, acoustics, humidity and joint layout. A full installed mock-up is the most reliable approval reference.
Material-specific authority schedule
Ten controls owned by this exact material—not inherited category rows. Final values are confirmed from supplier data, the project sample and shop drawings.
- Declared project reference
- Grey Microcement Finish: Approx. 2–3 mm layered mineral/resin system over prepared substrate
- Exact material identity
- Grey microcement layered mineral/resin system, typically about 2–3 mm only where selected manufacturer confirms; substrate and sealer included.
- Technical system definition
- A thin layered mineral/resin microcement finish—typically about 2–3 mm—over a prepared stable substrate, completed with compatible sealer/topcoat. It is a system, not a standalone cement colour.
- Selection differentiator
- Continuous hand-trowelled tonal movement across walls, joinery and selected furniture.
- Critical approval decision
- The substrate and waterproofing carry movement/water control. Microcement cannot bridge unresolved cracks, joints or failed wet-area waterproofing.
- Non-equivalent substitute
- Cement paint, polished plaster and another microcement brand are not equivalent layered systems.
- Fabrication focus
- Repair cracks, honour movement joints, reinforce as required and apply one manufacturer’s full cure/sealer sequence.
- GCC exposure limit
- Wet areas depend on underlying waterproofing; hot dry application can shorten working time and alter colour.
- Material-specific care rule
- Use sealer-compatible neutral cleaner and renew topcoat by condition, not a generic calendar.
- Reject the delivery when
- Reject substrate read-through, hairline cracking, dark water patches, trowel burns, pinholes or visible patch repair outside control.

02 · System anatomy
The material is not a single surface.
A thin layered mineral/resin microcement finish—typically about 2–3 mm—over a prepared stable substrate, completed with compatible sealer/topcoat. It is a system, not a standalone cement colour.
01Visible finish
Layer function
Natural fibre, felt, timber flute or mineral topcoat determines appearance, touch and cleanability.
How to verify
Approve a full-height installed finish under final lighting.
02Carrier / panel
Layer function
Backing, acoustic panel, veneered core or reinforced base distributes the finish and controls stability.
How to verify
Declare composition, thickness, density and relevant emissions/fire route.
03Adhesive / subframe
Layer function
Paste, adhesive, clips, battens, rails or mesh connect the finish and can change fire/acoustic behaviour.
How to verify
Shop drawing and test evidence must show the same mounting assembly.
04Building substrate
Layer function
Moisture, flatness, cracks, movement, joints and contamination transfer through the finished system.
How to verify
Complete substrate moisture/flatness hold point before installation.

GCC exposure matrix and maintenance plan.
Material-specific climate warning
Wet areas depend on underlying waterproofing; hot dry application can shorten working time and alter colour.
01Guestroom feature wall
Preferred- Material response
- Controlled use suits most systems if luggage impact, cleaning and replacement are resolved.
- Design control
- Use protected edges and retain matching repair stock.
02Corridor / lobby
Conditional- Material response
- Trolley impact, hand contact, wall washing and fire requirements intensify.
- Design control
- Select contract surface/system and prove impact/cleaning at the mock-up.
03Restaurant
Conditional- Material response
- Food soils, grease aerosols, chair impact and frequent cleaning challenge porous/textural finishes.
- Design control
- Use washable, repairable zones or protective dados at high contact.
04Window / façade wall
Conditional- Material response
- Solar heat and façade condensation can drive movement, fading or concealed moisture.
- Design control
- Investigate envelope moisture and require suitable light/temperature performance.
05Wet area
Avoid- Material response
- Water and vapour attack backing, adhesive, timber core and unsealed joints.
- Design control
- Use only a complete wet-area-approved system over proven waterproofing.
06Exterior / semi-exterior
Avoid- Material response
- Interior wall systems generally lack UV, rain, thermal and wind-load design.
- Design control
- Require a purpose-designed exterior assembly and engineering.

This material-specific application image shows Grey Microcement Finish on its own product and is not reused by any other material page. Final colour, pattern and finish remain subject to the approved physical sample.
Project notes
From sample to production.
01
What to specify
Select after confirming substrate, fire requirement, cleaning, acoustics, humidity and joint layout. A full installed mock-up is the most reliable approval reference.
02
Fabrication & detailing
Survey substrates and coordinate setting-out with doors, outlets, lighting and joinery. Complete a mock-up before bulk installation and protect finished work from following trades.
03
Colour & finish approval
Wall finishes are approved as installed mock-ups because lighting, substrate, panel joints and hand application materially change the final appearance.
04
Care & maintenance
Follow the approved maintenance guide for the selected system. Dust or spot-clean gently; repair test areas first so colour, sheen and texture remain consistent.
Specification note
This page is a preliminary specification guide. No value, brand reference or material name constitutes automatic compliance. Current product data, test reports, physical sample or slab and the furniture construction must be approved for each project before ordering or manufacture.
