Microcement vs the alternatives.
Honest comparisons so you choose the right surface for your project.
Choosing a surface means balancing look, durability, maintenance and total installed cost. Microcement delivers a seamless, 2–3 mm decorative finish over existing tiles, plaster or concrete, which removes the need for demolition and gives a contemporary, joint-free result in days rather than weeks.
The comparisons below pit microcement against the four surfaces we are asked about most: ceramic tiles, polished concrete, epoxy resin and tadelakt. Each page breaks down where microcement wins, where the alternative still makes sense, what the work costs in Ireland, and which KCBerry system fits best. Use them to decide whether microcement is the right call for your bathroom, kitchen floor, terrace or commercial fit-out.
