Transform Your Space Without the Mess of a Full Renovation
Discover how INCISE Microtopping® can give existing surfaces a completely new look without the need for extensive demolition.
Renovating a home or commercial space often comes with one major concern: disruption. Removing old tiles, breaking up floors and preparing surfaces can be messy, time-consuming and expensive.
But what if you could achieve a completely new finish without starting from scratch?
INCISE Microtopping® offers a practical alternative to traditional renovations, allowing you to transform existing floors, walls and other surfaces with a thin, continuous decorative coating.
A New Finish Without Removing Your Existing Floors
One of the biggest advantages of INCISE Microtopping is its ability to be applied over suitable existing surfaces.
Whether you have tiles, concrete or terrazzo, Microtopping can create a new finish without necessarily removing the original surface.
At just a few millimetres thick, it provides a modern, continuous appearance while minimising changes to existing floor levels.
This can significantly reduce demolition work, waste and disruption during renovation.
Important: Existing surfaces must be assessed and properly prepared before application. Loose tiles, cracks, moisture problems and unstable substrates must be addressed to ensure a lasting finish.
Endless Design Possibilities
INCISE Microtopping is not limited to the traditional grey concrete appearance.
From warm beige and soft neutrals to contemporary greys and darker earth tones, it offers a wide range of design possibilities.
The finish can be tailored to suit different interior styles, whether you prefer a minimalist, industrial or more natural aesthetic.
You can also select different surface appearances, from subtle handcrafted movement to more pronounced textures, depending on the product system and application technique.
The final protective sealer influences the sheen, allowing you to achieve matte, satin or glossier finishes.
Seamless Surfaces, Easier Maintenance
Traditional tiled surfaces have grout lines that can collect dirt and require regular cleaning.
INCISE Microtopping creates a continuous finish without the regular grout joints associated with tiles, making everyday cleaning and maintenance more straightforward.
Its seamless appearance is particularly attractive in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, corridors and commercial interiors.
Like any decorative surface, Microtopping still requires appropriate cleaning and maintenance to preserve its appearance over time.
Designed for Everyday Living
A beautiful finish must also be practical.
When correctly installed and protected with a suitable sealer, INCISE Microtopping provides a durable surface for residential and commercial environments.
Its protective coating helps resist everyday staining, moisture and surface wear.
However, Microtopping is not indestructible. Heavy impacts, dragging furniture, abrasive materials and excessive point loads can damage the finish.
The performance of the completed surface depends on the condition of the substrate, the application system, the protective sealer and how the surface is used.
More Than Just Floors
INCISE Microtopping can be used to create a consistent design across different architectural surfaces.
Common applications include:
- Floors: Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and commercial interiors.
- Walls: Feature walls, bathrooms and decorative interior surfaces.
- Staircases: Continuous finishes that complement surrounding floors.
- Countertops and built-in features: Decorative finishes for suitable prepared surfaces.
- Selected outdoor areas: Using an appropriate system designed for exterior exposure.
For wet areas, exterior applications and high-traffic environments, it is important to select the correct product system and protective coating.
A Practical Choice for Renovations
Because Microtopping is applied in thin layers, it adds relatively little thickness and weight compared with many conventional floor finishes.
This makes it particularly useful for renovation projects where raising floor levels or removing existing finishes may be undesirable.
It can also reduce the amount of construction waste associated with demolition.
However, the suitability of an existing surface must always be confirmed before application.
The Right Preparation Makes All the Difference
Although Microtopping can simplify renovation, achieving a beautiful and durable result requires careful preparation and skilled application.
The existing surface must be sound, stable, clean and properly prepared. The correct primers, application layers and protective sealers must also be used.
At INCISE, we always emphasise the importance of selecting a competent applicator who understands the product system and follows the recommended application procedures.
A well-prepared substrate and professional application are just as important as the colour and finish you choose.
Rethink Your Surfaces
A beautiful renovation does not always have to begin with demolition.
INCISE Microtopping offers the opportunity to give existing surfaces a new identity, combining contemporary design, versatility and everyday practicality.
Whether you are refreshing a single room or planning a larger renovation, it opens up new possibilities for transforming your space.
