Microcement & Decorative Flooring
Seamless microcement for floors, walls, and wet areas, alongside decorative and commercial flooring installation, replacement, and restoration - delivered as a defined specialist finishing package across Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Who commissions this work
Flooring is usually replaced for one of three reasons: the existing finish has worn or failed, the property is being repositioned and the finish no longer suits it, or an operator wants a seamless, easily maintained surface for a trading environment.
Villa owners
Replacing tiled or stone floors with a seamless microcement finish across living areas, bathrooms, and terraces - often without removing the existing tiles.
F&B and retail operators
Durable, cleanable decorative floors for restaurants, cafés, and retail units - installed within a controlled closure or phased programme.
Offices & showrooms
Commercial flooring replacement and restoration in occupied premises, planned around working hours and business continuity.
Substrate first - because that is where flooring succeeds or fails
Specialist works delivered with the planning, coordination, quality control, and commercial discipline expected from a professional fit-out contractor.
Microcement is a thin-build system, typically applied at only a few millimetres. That makes the substrate - not the topcoat - the real quality driver. Cracks, hollow tiles, moisture, movement, and poor levels all transmit directly through to the finished surface if they are not identified and corrected first.
Every NASH flooring package therefore begins with a documented substrate assessment: condition and adhesion of the existing finish, moisture behaviour, cracking and movement joints, falls and levels in wet areas, and compatibility of the proposed system with how the space will actually be used.
Site assessment & scope definition
The substrate is inspected and tested before any commitment on system, programme, or price - so the scope is defined on evidence, not assumption.
Correct preparation
Grinding, priming, crack treatment, levelling, and re-fixing or removal of unsound areas - specified per the assessment, not skipped to save programme.
Controlled application
Base coats, finish coats, and sealing applied in sequence with the drying and curing stages each system requires, under supervision and inspection.
Commercial discipline
A clearly scoped quotation, an agreed programme, documented variations, and a proper handover - the same controls we apply to full fit-out contracts.
What a flooring package generally includes
Seamless microcement
Floors, walls, and feature surfaces in a continuous, grout-free finish - with texture and tone agreed through sample panels before application.
Wet-area systems
Bathrooms, showers, and wet zones with appropriate waterproofing beneath the system and sealing above it, checked against falls and drainage.
Application over existing tiles
Where the assessment confirms the tiles are sound, microcement is applied over them - avoiding demolition, debris, and extended downtime.
Decorative & commercial flooring
Decorative and hard-wearing floor finishes for trading and workplace environments, selected for traffic, cleaning regime, and appearance.
Replacement & restoration
Removal and replacement of failed floors, or restoration of worn surfaces where the substrate justifies it - with the honest recommendation either way.
Protection & handover
Protection of completed surfaces through the curing period, cleaning, and handover with maintenance guidance for the installed system.
Programme and protection in occupied properties
Much of this work happens in homes people are living in and outlets that need to keep trading. The package is planned accordingly - not improvised on site.
Phased working
Areas are sequenced so parts of the property remain usable, with agreed working hours and access arrangements.
Dust and surface protection
Preparation stages such as grinding are managed with containment and extraction, and adjacent finishes, joinery, and fixtures are protected.
Curing windows respected
Each coat and seal has a drying or curing stage. The programme states these openly so reopening or reoccupation dates are realistic.
Landlord & community requirements
Where a building, mall, or community requires work permits or notifications, submissions are handled as part of the package.
Suitable settings and what you receive
Microcement and decorative flooring suit villas and apartments, restaurants and cafés, retail units, offices, and showrooms - anywhere a seamless, low-maintenance surface is wanted over new or existing substrates.
Assessment & scoped quotation
A site assessment recording substrate condition, followed by a quotation with a defined scope, system build-up, and exclusions stated plainly.
Samples & method statement
Sample panels for colour and texture sign-off, plus a method statement and programme covering preparation, application, and curing stages.
Documented handover
Completion inspection, cleaning, and handover with care and maintenance guidance appropriate to the installed system.
Microcement & flooring - common questions
Can microcement be applied over existing tiles?
Usually, yes - and it is one of the main reasons clients choose it, because it avoids demolition. The condition is that the tiles must be sound: firmly bonded, without hollow or loose areas, and with movement and moisture under control. Our site assessment checks this first. Hollow or unsound tiles are re-fixed or removed locally, and grout lines are filled and primed so they do not telegraph through the finish.
Is microcement suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?
Yes, when installed as a complete wet-area system. That means appropriate waterproofing beneath the microcement, correct falls to drainage, and a sealing system on the finished surface suited to standing water and cleaning chemicals. Applied without those measures, any thin decorative finish will fail in a wet area - which is why we treat waterproofing and sealing as part of the scope, not an optional extra.
How durable is microcement in commercial traffic?
Correctly specified and sealed microcement performs well in restaurants, retail units, offices, and showrooms. Durability is driven by three things: substrate preparation, the system build-up selected for the traffic level, and the sealer. For heavy-traffic or back-of-house zones we advise on where microcement is appropriate and where a different commercial flooring system would serve you better.
What maintenance does it need?
Routine maintenance is straightforward: regular cleaning with neutral, non-abrasive products and prompt attention to spills. There are no grout lines to discolour. Sealed surfaces benefit from periodic resealing over their life, with the interval depending on traffic and use - guidance for the specific system installed is provided at handover.
How is pricing established?
On evidence, not a flat rate. The main drivers are the area involved, the condition of the substrate and the preparation it needs, the system build-up (dry areas versus wet-area systems), and the finish selected. Because substrate condition has the largest cost influence and cannot be judged remotely, we price from a site assessment and issue a quotation with a defined scope rather than an indicative figure that changes later.
How long does installation take?
It depends on area, preparation required, and the curing stages of the chosen system - each base coat, finish coat, and sealer needs its drying window, and wet-area waterproofing adds stages of its own. Rather than quoting a generic duration, we issue a programme with the assessment that shows each stage, including curing time before the floor can take furniture and full traffic.
