What Is Microcement?

 

Microcement is a modern, high-performance coating system that creates a seamless, durable finish over existing surfaces. Made from a blend of cement, polymers, and fine aggregates, it is applied in thin layers to form a strong, waterproof surface that is both functional and visually striking.

​

Originally popular in high-end architectural and interior design projects, microcement has quickly gained traction in the pool industry thanks to its ability to deliver a sleek, contemporary look while outperforming many traditional finishes.

​

Why Microcement Is Ideal for Pools

Unlike traditional pool finishes, microcement is applied directly over existing substrates such as concrete or old plaster. This makes it an excellent option for pool resurfacing, eliminating the need for extensive demolition.

Once applied, it creates a smooth, joint-free surface that not only looks beautiful but is also highly resistant to cracking, stains, and wear over time.

A Modern Alternative to Traditional Pool Finishes

For years, finishes like quarts plaster have been the standard for swimming pools. While effective, they often require resurfacing every 8–10 years, are prone to cracking and become very rough over time. Quarts plaster degrades and cracks often at the waterline wet/dry zone, so many quartsplaster pools require tiles along the waterline. Microcement offers a more advanced solution - combining longevity, flexibility, and design versatility. With the option of tiled or non-tiled design finishes. The result is a super smooth pool surface that not only looks better but is built to last.
