Where Artistry Begins
Microcement is a thin cement based coating trowelled into one seamless surface with no grout lines. Our own applicators lay it in Windsor bathrooms, kitchens and open plan floors.
Microcement in Windsor is a thin, seamless coating trowelled over floors, walls and worktops, so a bathroom or kitchen runs as one surface with no grout lines. Zavoré supplies, installs and teaches authentic Italian lime based Venetian plaster and other decorative finishes, and our showroom and training centre in London is open by appointment. We install microcement ourselves. Start with a sample board to see the lime built alternatives, then talk to us about the room.
Windsor is a mix of old and new. There are Georgian and Victorian houses with rear extensions, riverside apartments close to the Thames, and plenty of twentieth century family homes in Dedworth and Clewer. Microcement is most useful in the newer parts of those houses, where an extension has put the kitchen and dining space onto one floor.
An open plan ground floor with underfloor heating is a good candidate, because the surface can run through without thresholds. Old timber floors in period houses are a different matter. Springy joists, loose boards and cracks will all come through, and no coating bridges them. We survey first and tell you if a floor is not ready.
Riverside homes bring a damp question as well. If a wall or slab is holding moisture, it must be dealt with before anything seamless goes on top.
Our microcement work earns its place where the absence of joints matters.
A wet area depends on a properly prepared, waterproofed wall and the right sealer. The sealer is what makes microcement washable, not the cement itself. We will not lay it over a base that is not ready, or as a cheap alternative to tiling.
We survey before pricing. We look at the substrate, flatness, cracks, damp, movement, access and protection. Photos can answer small questions first. The sample board shows the finishes and tones, and the material is tinted to the colour on the approved sample before it ships.
A seamless floor has to be laid wet in one go, so it is planned in blocks of days where the job calls for it, with the team staying on site and laying each coat in order. Dates are agreed once the sample and price are signed off. Read more on our microcement installation page.
For materials we sell only the lime built pastellone and beton stucco, which give a joint free wall look with a mineral character. They are available in the shop with tracked UK delivery. Decorators can open a trade account, and our microcement course runs at Birmingham, London and Manchester. Floors and bathrooms are better left to us.
Microcement works alongside concrete effect plaster in Windsor, which gives a cloudy mineral wall, and tadelakt in Windsor, the older answer for wet walls. For softer surfaces see clay plaster in Windsor or limewash in Windsor. Polished looks are covered by polished plaster in Windsor and marmorino in Windsor, and metallic accents by liquid metal in Windsor. The whole range is on the decorative finishes specialist in Windsor page, and the classic plaster is covered by Venetian plastering in Windsor.
Yes, on a properly prepared, waterproofed wall and floor with the right primer, mesh and sealer. We survey first and say plainly if anything needs fixing before we start.
Often it does, as long as the screed is sound, fully cured and stable. Movement and cracks will come through, so we check the base before pricing.
Only if the floor is stiff and stable. A floor that flexes will crack a seamless surface. Sometimes the floor needs boarding or stiffening first, and we tell you if so.
