Question 1

How much does a microcement floor cost in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Microcement floors in Ireland typically cost 80 to 140 euros per m2 installed. This includes substrate preparation, primer, microcement coats and sealant. A 20m2 kitchen-diner floor would cost approximately 1,600 to 2,800 euros.

Question 2

What is included in the installed floor price?

Accepted Answer

The installed price includes substrate assessment and preparation, primer coat, two to three microcement coats and polyurethane sealant. It does not include tile removal or significant structural repair, which are costed separately.

Question 3

Is microcement more expensive than polished concrete?

Accepted Answer

For renovation projects, microcement is typically less expensive than polished concrete. Polished concrete requires a structural concrete slab and grinding equipment. Microcement can be applied over any stable substrate including timber floors, tiles and screed.

Question 4

Can microcement go over existing floor tiles to save cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One of the biggest cost advantages of microcement is that it can be applied directly over existing ceramic or porcelain floor tiles. This eliminates tile removal costs of 500 to 2,000 euros depending on the area size.

Question 5

Is there a cheaper supply-only option?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Supply-only pricing for microcement floor product is typically 25 to 45 euros per m2, including primer and sealant. Labour for application is arranged separately through a certified Cementec applicator.

Question 6

Does the cost increase for larger floor areas?

Accepted Answer

Larger floor areas often benefit from a lower per-m2 cost due to setup efficiency. Projects over 50 m2 may attract a reduced per-m2 rate from applicators. Always get a project-specific quote.
