Qubo® microcement is an innovative choice for bathroom design, bringing with it a range of benefits that can elevate the ambience of this intimate space to a new level. Here are some reasons why this material is an excellent choice for your bathroom:

Design diversity

Whether you prefer a smooth, polished surface or a textured, marbled look, Qubo® microcement offers a wide range of colors, textures and surface finishes that allow you to design the bathroom to your personal taste. From subtle, monochromatic tones to bold color accents, anything is possible. The ability to combine microcement with other materials such as wood, metal or glass opens up endless design possibilities.

Moisture resistance

In a bathroom where moisture is omnipresent, resistance to water plays an important role. Qubo® microcement surfaces are water-repellent and moisture-resistant. This is due to the sealant that is applied to the surface. This makes microcement a practical choice for floors , walls and even shower cubicles. The latter are created with the Qubo® Aqua series, which is also used in pools and on outdoor surfaces.

Room optics

Microcement can visually create space, especially in bathrooms, which are often subject to smaller spaces. As the material is applied seamlessly, it creates a feeling of openness and width, which is particularly beneficial in small bathrooms. This visual trick can help to make the room appear larger and more airy than it actually is.

Durability and care

Qubo® microcement is extremely hard-wearing and resistant to abrasion and wear. This makes it an excellent choice for bathroom floors and walls. This durability guarantees that your bathroom will still look attractive even after years of use. Cleaning the smooth surface is simple and straightforward. This saves time and effort.

Individual accents

Qubo® Microcement can be customized to blend harmoniously into different areas of the bathroom, including sinks, bathtubs and showers. This customizability makes it possible to set individual accents and complete the overall design.

The cementitious filler is characterized by an exceptionally low construction height of just 2 – 3 mm. This simplifies modernization in rooms with particularly small gaps under the door, for example.

Which colors are suitable for a microcement bathroom?

The originally white filler can be tinted to almost any desired shade by adding color pigments. The classic is the concrete look.

What types of sealing are there?

A glossy or semi-gloss finish can be applied as required. In addition, the required slip resistance classes can be achieved with appropriate sealers.

How much does a floor for a microcement bathroom cost?

The seamless floors are filled in several layers. The price depends on the size of the area to be laid and the number of layers of leveled flooring. As a rule, two layers are sufficient. Additional layers can be applied for design reasons. In proportion, a small room, such as a bathroom with many corners, costs more than large rooms. On average, the price is between €120 and €180 per m².

How much does a concrete-look wall coating cost?

Compared to floors, coating walls with the concrete look is more expensive. This is why the cost of a wall coating is approx. 10 % higher than the corresponding floors.

On which substrates can the cementitious levelling compound be laid?

Almost any substrate can be coated. Here are some examples of substrates that can be used in the microcement bathroom:

  • Tiles
  • Parquet

  • Marble
  • Ceramic
  • OSB boards
  • Metal
  • Drywall
  • Fiberglass wallpaper
  • many plasters

How must the substrate be prepared for laying the concrete look?

With an installation thickness of only 2-3 mm, the substrate must be correspondingly free of unevenness. If there are any, they must be filled beforehand.

Are the walls and floors in a microcement bathroom waterproof?

The density of the material makes the coating waterproof.

Is the floor in the microcement bathroom non-slip?

Yes, depending on the area of application, you can set the required slip resistance class with different sealers.

How is the floor cleaned in the microcement bath?

To ensure a long service life of the surface, we recommend using water and neutral soaps. Sealing the surface makes it easier to clean and protects it from stains.

Can microcement be laid on underfloor heating?

Yes, after the heating switch-on protocol has been carried out so that the cracks in the screed caused by the temperature change do not continue in the top floor.

Where can microcement be used?

The breathable coating is used indoors and outdoors as well as in wet rooms. It is ideal for bathrooms, wellness oases and fitness centers. It is also popular in kitchens and living areas as well as in conservatories and on stairs. Commercial areas such as restaurants, stores, doctors’ surgeries and laboratories are created with this special material. The leveled floor meets all hygiene requirements and can be made slip-resistant by applying an appropriate sealant. Overall, the coating system creates durable, dirt-repellent, waterproof and abrasion-resistant surfaces.

Can microcement be used in wet areas?

Yes, our Qubo® Aqua series is 100 % waterproof. Our qualified companies ensure professional pre-treatment and processing of the substrate.
