If you need to choose new flooring for your residential or commercial space, you might be overwhelmed with the sheer number of materials available to you. However, if you want something that’s versatile, highly durable, and easy to maintain, concrete or microcement flooring solutions are great options to consider.
The problem is that many people use the terms “concrete” and “cement” interchangeably, making it difficult for property owners to know the differences between concrete flooring and microcement flooring. To offer some clarity on this topic, our team at Força has created this article to go over the main differences that you should know about these materials.
The main difference is that concrete flooring is usually a crucial structural element within a building. Concrete floors are typically only installed during new construction projects or major renovations since the installation process is lengthy and requires a lot of material. Concrete floors must be evenly poured and left to cure for days before they can be finished and sealed.
On the other hand, microcement flooring is applied in thin layers over preexisting flooring materials. A single microcement flooring application is usually just a few millimetres thick, and it creates a smooth, seamless appearance across the entire surface. It can be applied over virtually any type of floor, including tile, concrete, or even wood. Microcement flooring is versatile, lightweight, and much faster to install, making it ideal for renovation projects and general home improvements.
