Microcement Kitchen Floors & Surfaces Ireland
Seamless, grout-free kitchen floors and worktops in 22 colours. The cleanest kitchen surface you will ever own.
Microcement in the Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most demanding surfaces in any home — high foot traffic, spills, dropped utensils and the constant movement of chairs and stools. Microcement handles all of this with ease. Unlike tiled floors where grout lines become a permanent food trap no matter how often you clean them, a microcement kitchen floor is a single seamless surface. Wipe it down and it is done.
Cementec Ireland supplies microcement to homeowners, kitchen installers and contractors across Ireland. Our kitchen-grade microcement is formulated for resilience and is sealed with a food-safe polyurethane coat that makes the surface resistant to oils, staining and daily cleaning products.
Whether you are renovating a period terrace in Cork city, fitting an open-plan kitchen-diner in a new build, or refreshing a tired farmhouse kitchen in Kilkenny, microcement gives you a result that feels genuinely contemporary and lasts for decades.
Benefits of Microcement Kitchen Floors
No Grout to Trap Food
Grout lines in a kitchen floor are a hygiene problem — they trap crumbs, cooking oils and bacteria. Microcement eliminates grout entirely. The entire floor is one seamless surface.
Easy to Clean
A damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is genuinely all you need. No scrubbing grout lines, no specialist products, no quarterly deep-cleaning ritual.
Handles Heavy Use
Microcement kitchen floors withstand daily foot traffic, dropped items and the movement of heavy kitchen furniture. When properly sealed, the surface is extremely hard-wearing.
Applied Over Existing Tiles
At 2-3 mm thick, microcement goes over your existing kitchen floor tiles without the need for removal. This makes kitchen renovations dramatically faster and less disruptive.
Underfloor Heating Compatible
Microcement is fully compatible with electric and hydronic underfloor heating systems — and is actually one of the best conductors of underfloor heat among all flooring types.
Seamless into Dining Area
In open-plan kitchen-diners, microcement flows seamlessly between zones. No threshold strips, no change in material — just one continuous, coherent floor.
Microcement Kitchen Worktops
Microcement worktops are growing rapidly in popularity in Ireland. A microcement worktop creates an entirely seamless surface — no joins, no silicone beads and no edges to collect dirt. The finish is smooth and contemporary, available in any of our 22 standard colours.
For worktops, we apply an epoxy sealant rather than a polyurethane one. Epoxy provides a harder, more impervious surface better suited to daily contact with food, liquids and cleaning agents. The sealant is food-safe once fully cured.

The Open-Plan Kitchen–Dining Look
One of the most powerful uses of microcement in Irish homes is the open-plan kitchen-diner floor. When you extend the same microcement colour and finish from the kitchen through the dining area and into the living room, the effect is transformative. The space feels larger, more considered and more architecturally coherent than any combination of different flooring types could achieve.
This is particularly striking in contemporary new builds and in older homes that have been extended and opened up. Where you previously had to transition between kitchen tiles and living room flooring with a threshold strip, microcement simply continues — wall to wall, room to room.
