The three microcement finishes

Each finish offers its own style and specific properties. All three are smooth and seamless to the touch: what changes is the visual effect — from the handcrafted look of rustic to the sheen of metallic. Choose the one that best suits your project.

Rustic microcement finish — smooth to the touch with a handcrafted visual effect

Rustic

Character · Handcrafted look

The rustic finish brings character and personality to any surface. It is smooth and seamless to the touch, with no relief: its rustic feel is purely visual — trowel marks, veining, shadows and movement that create a one-off, handcrafted effect. Run your hand over it and the surface is smooth.

  • Smooth and seamless to the touch, no relief
  • Handcrafted, one-off visual effect
  • Trowel marks, veining and shadows to the eye
  • Adds a natural, Mediterranean character
  • Organic, country-style look

Ideal for: Living rooms, feature walls, rustic kitchens and any space after a natural or industrial look. Also ideal outdoors and on terraces for its Mediterranean character (the safety comes from a dedicated anti-slip sealer, not the texture).

Smooth microcement finish, even and polished in appearance

Smooth

Elegant · Versatile

The smooth finish gives an even, elegant surface, perfect for minimalist, contemporary designs. Soft to the touch with a polished look, it brings sophistication to any room.

  • Completely smooth surface
  • Modern, elegant look
  • Available in matt, satin or gloss
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Versatile across interiors

Ideal for: Living rooms, bedrooms, modern bathrooms, contemporary kitchens, offices and retail spaces.

Metallic microcement finish with exclusive reflections and highlights

Metallic

Exclusive · Premium

The metallic finish is the most exclusive, forward-looking option. With reflections and highlights that mimic metallic effects, it creates unique, sophisticated spaces full of character, never the same twice.

  • Metallic effects and special highlights
  • Exclusive, sophisticated look
  • A range of metallic tones
  • Bold, high-end decorative finish
  • Unique and unrepeatable

Ideal for: Luxury spaces, boutique hotels, premium restaurants, design stores and statement furniture.

Every finish is available in more than 60 colours. Download the colour card or ask us for physical samples to see and feel the finish before you decide.

How to choose

Texture and colour: how to choose your microcement finish

Choosing well comes down to two decisions: the finish (rustic, smooth or metallic) and the colour from the chart. All three are smooth to the touch; what changes is the visual effect — from the handcrafted look of rustic to the sheen of metallic. The colour sets the mood of the space.

The smooth finish can be sealed in matt, satin or gloss, depending on how much light you want the surface to reflect. Rustic adds character and a handcrafted look to the eye — trowel marks, veining and shadows — while metallic adds reflections for exclusive interiors. The same colour can read differently in each finish: rustic softens it, smooth shows it faithfully, and metallic enriches it with highlights.

Our advice: always ask for physical samples. The light in your space —natural or artificial— completely changes how a tone looks. That is why, across our projects in Málaga and the Costa del Sol, we bring the samples to your home so you can see and feel the finish before you decide.

The finish on each surface

Which finish to choose for each surface

The ideal finish depends on where it is applied. We guide you on the texture-and-colour combination that works best in each space, inside and out.

Smooth microcement finish in a seamless, elegant interior
01

Interiors: smooth and metallic

On floors, walls, bathrooms and kitchens, the smooth finish is king: a seamless surface, easy to clean and contemporary in feel, sealable in matt, satin or gloss. Metallic is reserved for details and feature walls that want to take centre stage, adding reflections and depth to living rooms, bedrooms and retail spaces.

  • Smooth for everyday seamless surfaces
  • Metallic for feature walls and details
  • Matt, satin or gloss sealing

02

Outdoors and wet areas: rustic with a non-slip sealer

On terraces, pools, facades and outdoor stairs, the rustic finish brings a Mediterranean character that stands up to sun, water and time. The surface is still smooth to the touch; the safety underfoot when wet comes from a specific non-slip sealer we apply in these areas, not from the texture. Style and safety in one seamless surface, with no tiling or grout lines.

  • Non-slip sealer for wet areas
  • Resists sun, water and weather
  • Natural, Mediterranean character to the eye

Premium decor: metallic on furniture and details

For high-end projects —boutique hotels, design restaurants, stores and statement furniture— the metallic finish creates unique, unrepeatable spaces. Applied over furniture, worktops and feature walls, it turns an ordinary surface into an exclusive piece with reflections and depth.

  • Exclusive reflections and highlights
  • Ideal for furniture and feature walls
  • A unique, unrepeatable finish

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about finishes and colours

How many microcement colours are there?

We offer more than 60 colours in the chart, organised into four families: neutrals and whites, greys, earth and warm tones, and darks. We also make bespoke colours to order to match your project or your brand exactly.

What types of microcement finish are there?

Three finishes: rustic (a handcrafted look to the eye, smooth to the touch), smooth (even and elegant, in matt, satin or gloss) and metallic (reflections and highlights, the most exclusive). All three are smooth and seamless to the touch; what changes is the visual effect and the ideal uses.

Is the rustic finish rough or slip-resistant to the touch?

No. Rustic microcement is smooth and seamless to the touch, with no relief: its rustic character is purely visual (trowel marks, veining and shadows). In wet areas or outdoors, the slip resistance comes from a specific non-slip sealer we apply over the finish, not from the texture.

Can I combine different finishes in one project?

Yes, it is completely possible and very common. For example, a smooth finish indoors and rustic outdoors, or smooth walls with metallic details. Combining them gives the project coherence and resolves each area with the ideal finish.

Do the colours look the same across all three finishes?

Colours vary slightly with the finish. Rustic tends to soften the colour, smooth shows it faithfully, and metallic adds reflections that can change how the tone is perceived. That is why we always recommend seeing a physical sample.

Is the metallic finish more expensive?

Yes, the metallic finish costs more because of its special materials and a more technical application process. The rustic and smooth finishes are similarly priced. See our pricing page for the full detail.

Can I ask for physical samples before deciding?

Yes, we always recommend it. We bring samples of the finishes and colours to your home in Marbella, Estepona, Málaga and across the Costa del Sol, so you can see and feel the result in the real light of your space.

Do you make bespoke colours?

Yes. Alongside the 60+ tones in the chart, we make bespoke colours to order to match a specific project, a brand identity or a colour you already have in mind. Just send us the reference and we colour-match it.
