Humidity and Water Resistance
Microcement is naturally water-resistant, and when sealed with a waterproof topcoat, it becomes fully waterproof. This makes it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and coastal properties.

Microcement flooring is a seamless, cement-based coating that creates a modern, industrial-chic floor without grout lines, seams, or joints. It can be applied directly over existing surfaces — including tile, concrete, and plywood — making it a popular choice for renovations and new construction in Miami.
Unlike tile, microcement has no grout to clean or grow mold. Unlike polished concrete, it can be installed in existing spaces without demolition. Unlike wood, it doesn’t warp or swell in humidity. It’s a durable, waterproof, seamless surface built for Miami’s climate.
Exotic Wall Finishes has been applying microcement in Miami since 2015. Our founder, Gian Carlo Sagasti, is a Novacolor Global Ambassador (2017) and has been working with decorative finishes since 2003.

Tile grout is one of the most common places for mold to grow in Miami. Microcement eliminates grout entirely. The result is a continuous surface that’s easier to clean and more hygienic.
Microcement is harder than tile and resists scratches, stains, and impact. In entryways, kitchens, and commercial spaces, it holds up far longer than most alternatives.
Miami’s luxury condos in Brickell, Edgewater, and Downtown have embraced microcement flooring for its clean, industrial-chic appearance. It works equally well in lofts, modern homes, and contemporary bathrooms.
Microcement can be applied over existing tile, concrete, or plywood — often without demolition. This saves time and money in renovations.

Gian Carlo Sagasti was named a Novacolor Global Ambassador in 2017.
Over 20 years of hands-on experience since 2003.
Over a decade of applying microcement in South Florida’s climate.
We assess the existing floor, substrate condition, moisture levels, and traffic load. We discuss finish, sheen, and anti-slip requirements.
Grind or sand the substrate to create a bonding profile. Repair cracks and imperfections. Prime with a bonding primer. Install fiber mesh in high-stress areas if needed.
Apply 2–3 base coats of microcement, each troweled thinly and allowed to cure.
Apply 2–3 thin layers of pigmented microcement. Sand between coats to achieve the desired smoothness.
Apply a waterproof sealer. Add anti-slip additive for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas.
Walk the floor with the client, review under natural and artificial light, and provide care instructions.




With a proper sealer, yes. It’s ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and showers.
10–15 years or more with proper care.
Yes, as long as the tile is sound and properly prepared.
Microcement can be finished with a matte or satin sealer for traction. Anti-slip additives are available.
When properly installed over a stable substrate, microcement resists cracking. Movement joints may be needed in large areas.
Damp mop with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
As a general reference, $15 to $35+ per square foot installed.
5–7 days typically, depending on size and curing.
Yes, with proper sealing and anti-slip additives. We assess during consultation.
