The material can also be used for kitchen worktops and islands. The result is a natural concrete look that gives the impression that everything is made from one piece. In contrast to solid concrete blocks, the core and structure of the object can be made of different materials. A microcement coating makes it possible to save weight and production time while at the same time gaining flexibility. Furthermore, older kitchen furniture can also be coated with microcement.

A lot of bacteria and moisture can accumulate in the kitchen in particular due to rising steam and splashing grease. However, thanks to the microcement-coated surfaces, cleaning is extremely easy. The micro-cement surface offers bacteria and dirt no opportunity to adhere. A major advantage is its high heat resistance.
Advantages of a microcement kitchen
Durability
Another major advantage of a microcement kitchen is its durability and resistance. The cementitious filler is extremely hard-wearing and resistant to abrasion, scratches, moisture and stains. Its resistance to moisture is particularly advantageous in a kitchen environment, as even splashes of water and steam do not cause any long-term damage. This means that the contemporary appearance of a microcement kitchen remains aesthetically pleasing in the long term. The ability to withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life makes the material a worthwhile investment.
Sustainability
Another plus point for Qubo® microcement is its sustainability. The material consists of natural components such as cement and minerals. Its production requires less energy and resources compared to other materials such as concrete or tiles. In addition, it is possible to fill over existing surfaces, which minimizes the need for demolition of old materials and thus reduces waste.
Cleaning and care
Unlike other materials such as tiles, the Qubo® brand system is seamless. This means that dirt and bacteria cannot accumulate in the joints. This makes it easy to maintain the cement trowel surfaces in the kitchen. Thanks to its smooth surface, spills can be easily wiped up and any splashes quickly wiped off.
