Microcement is a thin decorative coating made with cement, fine aggregates, binders and pigment. An applicator builds it up in layers on a prepared surface, shapes the finish by hand and seals it for its intended use.
Look across a microcement floor and you see the movement of the trowel instead of a grid of grout lines. On a wall, the same movement catches side light and gives even a single colour depth.

Microcement describes a family of finishes. Start with where it will go: a living room floor, a shower wall and an open veranda have different demands.
INCISE Microtopping Floors brings a fine mineral finish through adjoining rooms. Where a lobby meets a corridor, carrying the colour across the threshold can make both spaces read as one. Retain required movement joints.
Explore INCISE Microtopping FloorsINCISE Microtopping can carry a continuous finish around a bathroom niche or along a kitchen wall. In a shower, specify waterproofing, junctions and sealer as part of the wet-area system.
See microcement bathroomsINCISE Wallcrete is a premium single-component microcement for interior and exterior decorative walls. Try a soft cloudy finish behind a bed or a deeper tone at a reception desk. Choose Microtopping for bathrooms.
Explore INCISE WallcreteFor a covered veranda that opens to a pool deck, choose texture for the exposed area as well as colour. INCISE Patio is a textured outdoor floor finish; INCISE Microtek offers another mineral finish for suitable floors and walls.
Explore INCISE PatioPut the same warm grey on two samples. On the first, ask for fine, overlapping trowel passes in one tone. On the second, layer a lighter tone against a deeper one. The first can sit quietly beside timber; the second can become the feature in the room.
Mineral pigment sets the colour. The applicator’s tool, pressure and direction shape the texture and pattern. A stencil can define a border on a patio, while a softly worked wall can suggest clouds without a repeating motif. Agree the effect on a sealed sample and view it upright for a wall or flat for a floor, in morning light and under the project lighting.
Visit the INCISE Colour Studio →Tour the INCISE showroom. Look where a surface turns a corner and where light falls across it: these are the details that a small colour swatch cannot show.
No. Polished concrete gets its finish from grinding and polishing the concrete itself. Microcement adds thin decorative layers over a prepared base. Both can have a mineral appearance, but they require different specifications.
Some INCISE systems can be specified over firmly bonded tiles after assessment, preparation and priming. Loose tiles, movement or damp must be addressed first. Send photographs and details of the existing surface before ordering.
A continuous appearance does not remove the need for movement joints or waterproofing. Repair cracks appropriately and specify the complete wet-area build-up before applying the decorative finish.
A useful estimate starts with the area in square metres, the existing substrate, the finish and the intended use. A sound interior wall and a shower with niches may have the same area but require different preparation and detailing. Ask INCISE for a material estimate and a trained applicator for installation pricing.
Remove grit regularly, wipe up spills and use a mild compatible cleaner. Fit soft pads under furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy items across the sealer.
INCISE manufactures decorative surface systems in Uganda and works with customers and professionals in Uganda and Kenya. For a built example, explore Beleza by Santina in Kampala. For a new project, start with the material, the specification or the supply conversation below.
Send the room type, approximate area, location and a photo. Ask for a sample, a budgetary material quote or an introduction to a trained applicator.
Discuss my projectIdentify the substrate, exposure, expected traffic, colour and sheen. Compare system build-ups and approve a physical sample before adding the finish to the schedule.
