Microcement for Irish Restaurants and Cafes

Microcement Floors for Food Service Environments

Microcement has become a leading floor finish choice for Irish restaurants, cafes and bars for very good practical reasons. In food service environments, the absence of grout lines is a significant hygiene advantage. Traditional tiled floors accumulate food debris, grease and bacteria in grout channels that are extremely difficult to fully clean even with commercial cleaning equipment. Microcement's seamless surface eliminates this problem entirely — a single pass with a commercial mop or mechanical scrubber cleans the entire floor surface without leaving residue in channels or joints.

For restaurant operators who value design as well as practicality, microcement offers an unmatched level of creative flexibility. The finish can be specified in any of 22 colours, with gloss, satin or matte effects, and can be used to create continuous floor-to-wall transitions that give a restaurant interior a considered, design-forward character. Many of Ireland's most celebrated contemporary restaurant interiors feature microcement floors — from intimate neighbourhood bistros to large-format urban dining rooms.

Bar surfaces and counter worktops are also increasingly being specified in microcement. Applied over a timber or MDF substrate and sealed with a food-safe epoxy, a microcement bar top is a distinctive, bespoke feature that cannot be replicated by any standard worktop material. The seamless, handmade aesthetic suits both rustic and contemporary bar environments and provides excellent resistance to the wear, spills and heat typical of a busy bar surface.
