MICROTOP-CEMENTITIOUS MICROTOPPING
With a thickness of just 2-3 mm, Microtop provides an opportunity to transform existing floors and wall into an extraordinary surface without removing the old one.

Flooring today is not just about strength. It is also about appearance, feel, and long-term usability. A microtopping floor brings all these elements together in a simple and practical way.
At Floorkrete, microtopping systems are designed to create thin, seamless cementitious surfaces that look refined while performing reliably. These systems are used where a clean concrete finish is required without adding thickness or load to the structure.
A microtopping floor is a thin cement-based coating applied over existing surfaces. It forms a smooth, continuous layer that closely resembles natural concrete.
Unlike traditional screeds, microtopping is applied in very thin layers. This makes it ideal for renovation projects where floor height is limited.
Microtopping is often described as:
Microtopping floors offer a balance between aesthetics and performance. They provide the visual appeal of concrete while meeting modern flooring expectations.
Some key reasons for their popularity include:
Seamless and joint-free finish
Cementitious flooring systems are valued for their strength and versatility. Microtopping builds on these qualities while adding a refined surface finish.
The result is a floor that feels natural and contemporary. It works well in spaces where design simplicity is preferred over heavy textures or patterns.
This makes microtopping a popular choice among architects and interior designers.
Industrial cement flooring is typically thicker and designed to handle heavy loads and mechanical stress. It focuses more on performance than appearance.
A microtopping floor, however, is thinner and more design-oriented. While it still offers good durability, its primary role is to improve surface finish and visual consistency.
Both systems serve different purposes, and the choice depends on usage requirements.
A concrete floor topping is often used to improve worn or damaged surfaces. Microtopping works exceptionally well as a topping because it bonds strongly to prepared substrates.
It covers minor surface defects and creates a fresh, uniform appearance without the need for demolition.
This makes microtopping ideal for refurbishment projects where speed and cleanliness matter.
Even though microtopping is thin, the condition of the base floor is critical. A proper floor underlayment ensures surface stability and long-term performance.
In some cases, a concrete floor underlayment is applied first to correct uneven levels or repair weak areas. Once the surface is stable, microtopping can be applied smoothly.
Skipping this step often leads to cracks or visual defects later.
Microtopping floors are used in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms where a modern, seamless look is desired.
Retail stores, offices, cafes, and galleries benefit from the clean appearance and easy maintenance of microtopping floors.
3. Light Industrial and Utility Areas
In controlled industrial environments, microtopping can be used where aesthetics and moderate durability are both required.
Microtopping adds very little thickness, making it suitable for renovation projects without affecting door levels or transitions.
When applied correctly, microtopping bonds well to concrete, tiles, and cementitious substrates.
Surface texture and finish can be adjusted to suit design requirements while maintaining a natural look.
Microtopping floors depend heavily on surface preparation. A clean, sound, and properly primed surface ensures long-term success.
Preparation typically includes:
Cleaning and repairing the substrate
A cementitious floor coating like microtopping is durable when protected with appropriate sealers. These sealers improve resistance to stains and daily wear.
Maintenance is simple. Regular cleaning with mild products keeps the surface looking consistent over time.
With correct care, microtopping floors maintain their appearance for many years.
Floorkrete microtopping systems are developed keeping real project challenges in mind. They work well in both new builds and existing structures.
The systems allow faster renovation without heavy demolition. This reduces downtime and makes them suitable for occupied spaces.
Floorkrete combines technical expertise with practical application knowledge. Each system is designed to perform consistently across varied site conditions.
Key reasons professionals choose Floorkrete:
Proven cementitious flooring experience
Microtopping supports sustainable construction practices. By reusing existing floors, it reduces material waste and avoids unnecessary removal.
Long-lasting performance also reduces the need for frequent replacement.
