- Non-slip options – perfect for terraces, pool decks, and garden pathways.
- Low maintenance – easy to clean, long-lasting, and durable.
- Flexible aesthetics – wide range of colours, textures, and finishes.
By choosing Forcrete, you gain a tested solution suitable for diverse climates, from Dubai to Canada.
Microcement terraces: Seamless, durable outdoor flooring
A terrace is an extension of your home, a space for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. Microcement creates a continuous, seamless surface that flows naturally from indoor living areas to outdoor patios.
Key benefits of microcement terraces:
- Visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.
- High durability under freeze-thaw and heavy foot traffic.
- Customisable finishes for modern or rustic aesthetics.
- Quick installation over existing substrates, reducing renovation time.
- Long-lasting performance without the risk of grout stains or cracks.
Non-slip microcement pool decks: Safe and stylish
Poolsides demand a surface that balances beauty and safety. Microcement pool decks can be formulated with non-slip textures, offering a secure and visually striking finish.
Why microcement is ideal for pool areas:
- Slip-resistant textures tailored to pool surrounds.
- UV-stable pigments that maintain colour under sunlight.
- It is low maintenance compared to tiles or stone.
- Resistant to pool chemicals and moisture exposure.
- A sleek, modern finish that elevates outdoor spaces.
Outdoor garden design with microcement
Microcement is increasingly used in landscape architecture, from pathways to outdoor kitchens and living areas. Its versatility allows upgrades without demolition, offering an efficient and sustainable solution.
Popular garden applications:
- Garden pathways and seating areas – seamless, modern surfaces that integrate with plants.
- Outdoor kitchens and bar counters – waterproof, heat-resistant, and easy to clean.
- Feature walls, planters, and decorative structures – sculptural finishes that enhance outdoor aesthetics.
Using microcement in gardens delivers a timeless, low-maintenance finish that performs year-round while minimising disruption to existing landscaping.
How to install and maintain outdoor microcement
Professional installation ensures longevity, but understanding the process helps homeowners and designers plan effectively:
- Surface preparation – ensure the substrate is stable, clean, and ready for application.
- Primer application – creates strong adhesion between the substrate and microcement layers.
- Microcement layers – applied in multiple thin coats for durability.
- Protective topcoat – adds UV stability, non-slip properties, and extra weather resistance.
Maintenance tips:
- Regular cleaning with mild detergents preserves the seamless finish.
- Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain colour and texture.
- For high-traffic areas, periodic inspection ensures long-term performance.
